Ryan Joseph Ramos December 30, 2012

Official images of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLA have already been leaked ahead of the vehicle’s debut at the 2013 North American International Auto Show, showing the radical exterior of the car. Now, we have some new snaps of a 1:18 scale replica of the vehicle that should provide us with more detail about this fresh CLA. Mercedes-Benz intends to make the new CLA its entry-level offering, but as you can see, there’s plenty of style and appeal on this baby despite its placement in the hierarchy of the Mercedes-Benz lineup. There’s plenty of power options to choose from, starting at 122 hp for the CLA 180 up to 211 hp… Continue Reading »

‘Smart Buggy’ Bid for 2013 Dakar Rally Fails

Ryan Joseph Ramos December 30, 2012

It’s never a good thing when a dream fizzles out, and it can hurt much more considering we’re about to say goodbye to 2012 as well. That’s just what Jose Luis Alvarez has to deal with as he bids his 2013 Dakar Rally bid goodbye. Alvarez and his team was set to take a couple of smart ForTwos to the rally. These are definitely heavily modified to perform on a rally competition and to comply with FIA rules for said event, and many would argue that perhaps the vehicles are merely rally cars with a smart shell, but it’s still a smart, anyway. Right now, though, all that is moot…. Continue Reading »

German Magazine Awards Two Mercedes-Benz Models as Greenest in Their Classes

Ryan Joseph Ramos December 30, 2012

It’s another testament to the efforts of Mercedes-Benz to come up with eco-friendly vehicles in various vehicle classes. Recently, Auto Test, a Germen automotive publication, awarded two Mercedes-Benz vehicles—the B200 Natural Gas Drive and the ML 250 BlueTec 4MATIC—as the greenest cars in their respective classes, dubbing them “Winners in Green.” The ML 250 BlueTec 4MATIC topped the SUV category thanks to its energy-efficient yet uncompromising direct-injection engine that goes for 204 horsepower. Those who drive the unit can get 40 miles-per-gallon and a range in excess of 1,000 miles out of the vehicle, and the CO2 emissions output is just 158 g/km. The B200 Natural Gas Drive wagon, on… Continue Reading »

Mercedes-Benz Citan Gets an Enhanced Look

Giancarlo Perlas December 30, 2012

Daimler and the Renault-Nissan alliance definitely did a great job with the Mercedes-Benz Citan that even MacGyver made it his official ride. Even though that’s the case, the guys at KTW Tuning still wanted to do a little tinkering with the masterpiece. What did they do with it? KTW simply added 18-inch alloy wheels with five double spokes on its 225/40ZR18 92Y tires. All four corners were also equipped with 10mm spacers and lowering springs for enhanced dynamics. That’s not all, they also included red brake calipers on each wheel. The price tag for the fine tuning is set at €1,999 or $2,650 with VAT plus installation costs.

Peter Parcon December 28, 2012

An autocar.co.uk report revealed that a new turbo-charged V8 engine may be being developed by AMG for the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Unnamed sources have indicated that the naturally-aspirated 6.2-L V8 engine on the C-Class will be replaced with a turbo-charged 4.0-L V8 engine by AMG. The new V8 engine will feature a similar modular design that is used on the four-cylinder 2.0-L engine of the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG and the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. The two engines will use similar bore spacing, individual cylinder displacement, and other specs. The modification will not reduce the power offered by the vehicle.
