SL65 Black Series And Nissan GT-R Mix It Up

In response to a video posted here showing a straight line race between an 850hp Nissan GT-R and an SL65 AMG Black Series, we present two unmodified examples of the two. With more than a 100-horsepower difference between the GT-R and the SL65 AMG Black Series, there are no prizes for guessing who won. Below is a video of two stock examples of these cars on another course but using the same basic format.

As all enthusiasts know, the GT-R has become the benchmark for affordable performance cars and stock, it offers levels of performance that few cars can match. Although its price of admission is cheap, the Nissan’s maintenance requirements approach those of exotic cars. But as with most Japanese cars, even the Nissan GT-R comes off a mass production line, which cannot be said for the Black Series cars from AMG. Despite looking like a porky old geezer’s car, this SL65 AMG Black Series matches the all-wheel drive GT-R’s acceleration and walks away from there.

AMG Releases SLS GT3 Production Video On YouTube

Now that the Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 has notched a few important victories under its belt, here’s a look at how this solid performer is being produced. Released at no less than the official AMG channel at YouTube, the video shows how this circuit beast is put together.

Starting with the bare shell, you can see that the documentation process is fairly complete. All the better to prove the provenance of these cars when they become collector’s classics a few decades on. You’ll see the beautifully made components come together to make a racer that is more than the sum of its parts. In fact, the components and workmanship that go into this car is of such a quality that it’s almost a shame to race this car. For enthusiasts all over who can only see clips of the cars on the track, this intimate glimpse of how this hyperformance road car is transformed into a track beast completes the picture of why this $500,000 car is so desirable.

 

Video: Actros as a Taxi?

A nice video made in cooperation with Jung von Matt, the leading ad agency of Daimler, shows the Actros as a taxi to show its harshest critics what are its benefits. It passed by Volvo and MAN and picked up passengers from their offices. The result was impressive, not surprisingly, because the “employees” of the competitors seem to like what they saw inside the Mercedes truck.

People at the Munich airport were also fascinated by the “taxi truck”, who wouldn’t be?

Tips about buying car insurance for your Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes Benz Revamped the 1951 300SL17 597x397 Tips about buying car insurance for your Mercedes Benz

If you own a luxury car like a Mercedes-Benz, it makes sense to compare car insurance, not just for the potential savings but also for the features of the product you are buying. In the same way that you looked at the feature offerings of the luxury car you bought, so should you look at more than just the basic coverage your insurer may be offering you. Most companies will start with the minimum coverage you need and go from there. Since our sample vehicle is a Mercedes, which is a luxury car, you need to make sure that your insurance covers more than simple repairs. Most luxury cars nowadays have premium features that are quite expensive to repair, so make sure that your insurance covers this. On the other hand, just because your drive an expensive car doesn’t mean that it’s a magnet for car thieves. In a survey of cars most often chosen by car thieves, the Mercedes E-Class actually ranked very low on the list. Insurance companies keep updated lists of the most stolen vehicles. Higher insurance premiums reflect the risks insurance companies perceive with these vehicles. With the knowledge of which cars are high-risk models, make sure that a car insurance comparison takes factors like these into account.
