Tuners are hard at work it seems in their craft. The latest Mercedes-Benz ramification comes from Anderson Germany with their version of the Mercedes-Benz CL 65 AMG Black Edition. Theirs features an engine upgrade that involves specialized computer software optimization, sports air filter, plasma-coated exhaust system with racing catalytic converters, and larger accessory pulleys to bump power up to 670hp.

The vinyl-wrapped appearance gives the car that novel image just begging for aggression and respect at the same time. Well, Anderson Germany prefers to call it satin matte deluxe/black. The kit also includes a jet-black carbon exterior packet that consists of an external mirror, window frames, front grille, door handles, hatchback panel, ventilator frames on the bonnet, and diverse engine room coverings. A rear spoiler lip rides the back to complete the aerodynamic package.

What’s kind of odd is that Anderson Germany decided to equip the car with an electronically-adjustable suspension. While it’s not entirely bad, it just doesn’t add up to have an automatic suspension setup to handle 670 horses of power.

Well, anyway, the whole thing rolls with 22-inch rims that are black/gloss finished with matching jet black carbon edging, so it’s still worth attention. The interior is a sight to behold as well if you’re fond of warm colored trims and leather. Anderson Germany also accepts customer-specific tailoring, so yes, this car is definitely going to turn heads on the streets.

Mercedes-Benz Geared to Present Latest Safety Features

by Michael Cavinta (RSS feed) August 14th, 2010 at 10:32 pm

Mercedes Benz+new+logo.bmp1 Mercedes Benz Geared to Present Latest Safety FeaturesMercedes-Benz is geared to present their latest safety systems this autumn. The said safety systems intensely restrains cars from straying into the path of other vehicles on the road. Based on the review of WhatCar.com, it stated that the new feature is a development of what is already available. Presently, Mercedes-Benz provides blind-spot and lane-change alerts that warn the driver if the car is about transfer into the path of another vehicle coming up behind, or drift inadvertently into another lane.

Based on the review, the great difference with the latest active systems is that they administer the brakes on one side of the car to put it back to straight course, even if there is no instantaneous danger of collision. Additionally, the website stated that the active blind spot feature functions between 20 and 125 mph, even though a visual reminder will be flashed right up to the maximum speed of 155 mph.

The active lane-change system at the same time functions between 35 and 125 mph, under the condition that there is a solid white line on one side of the automobile and a dotted line on the other. The two safety features will primarily be accessible on the revised S-Class saloon, CL couple and the E-Class line.

Superchips presents remapped ECU for C350 CDi BlueEFFICIENCY

by Keiichi (RSS feed) August 6th, 2010 at 3:12 am

mercedes benz c350 cdi 597x427 Superchips presents remapped ECU for C350 CDi BlueEFFICIENCY
The Brits really got it going on with their tuning prowess as Superchips presents their latest take on the Mercedes-Benz C350 CDi BlueEFFICIENCY. They have now released a remapped ECU boosting power up by 34 bhp and 80 Nm. The new ECU is applicable to all variants of the C, E, M and R and S-Class models, and has been verified through intense road, chassis and dyno testing.

The Superchips ECU will give you an additional 34 bhp at 3,008 rpm, thus giving you a maximum power of 284 bhp, as opposed to 250 bhp in stock form. But unlike most ECU’s that bump the power while sacrificing drivability, Superchips says theirs gives you maximum power anywhere from 2,700 to 4,400 rpm. Torque has been spread out from 642 Nm at 2,469 rpm to a maximum of 2,549 Nm at 3,009 rpm. That should give your right foot enough room to handle all the power.

With a balance in power and drivability, Superchip’s remapped ECU should result in a more edgier driving experience, with sharper acceleration and throttle response. Heck, it gives you enough power not only to overtake but to tow as well. But even with all that power, the engine will still feel smooth as silk. It’s now available for GBP 445. That pricetag includes installation and taxes and should be applicable for all models from June 2009 onwards.

mercedes s class 1f 597x398 Entire S Class range now rolls with Bang & Olufsen

Want more bang for your buck? Then you’ll be happy to hear that Mercedes-Benz’s entire S-Class range is now going to feature Bang & Olufsen’s audio system. Yes, it’s true, and it shall start in September of this year.

Bang & Olufsen’s 15-speaker, 1200 Watt system used to be an exclusive feature on the S-Class AMG variant. Being one of the world’s best car audio equipment manufacturers, the Danish brand is widely recognized for being an exclusive feature on high-end premium vehicles. Their audio system offers incredible sound and visuals to everyone in the vehicle, thus creating the best kind of listening and watching environment possible.

The system showcases incredible sound and design components such as tweeters near the door mirrors, adaptive LED lighting that can be controlled on the main interface, and a light sensor that’s mounted on the rear-view mirror. The sensor detects ambient light conditions to make subtle adjustments to the LEDs. There’s also a sensor that senses the presence of front passengers for automatic optimization of sound levels upfront.

None other than Band & Olufsen Automotive Managing Director Jans Peter Zinck revealed how happy they are to work with Mercedes-Benz. He even hints of further developments to standardize their audio systems in future Mercedes-Benz models.

The new CL 63 and CL 65 AMG

by Keiichi (RSS feed) July 28th, 2010 at 11:06 am

2011 mercedes benz cl63 amg and cl65 amg leaked images 100315694 l 4c350e9fc1d7b 615x350 597x387 The new CL 63 and CL 65 AMG

Here’s a sizzling update to the recently revealed 2011 CL-Class. Mercedes-Benz has just given to the press fresh images and lively details of the future CL 63 AMG and CL65 AMG models. Now, if you’re no stranger to AMG and Mercedes-Benz, you’ll know that this pair spells out high performance. Well, not in the super car realms of the SLS AMG, but enough to take the flagship pole in the company’s line of premium passenger vehicles.

There’ve been a lot of rumors that Mercedes-Benz might drop the old ‘63′ badging and use numbers that are representative of the new engine displacements to be put under the hood. However, as these images reveal, nothing can be farther than the truth.

Performance wise, expect no less mind-blowing, owing to a highly modified version of the new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8. Throw into the mix AMG’s seven speed SpeedShift automatic tranny, the new CL 63 will be capable of 400kW of power at 5,500rpm, while pulling a maximum of 800Nm of torque anywhere from 2,000 to 4,500rpm. The sprint from zero to sixty miles per hour will take merely 4.4 seconds, while top speed will be electronically limited to 250kph, just to make sure the driver and passenger stay in one piece.

However, if you want to add even more thrill, you can always opt for AMG’s performance package which easily bumps maximum horsepower to 420kW, cutting zero to sixty time by 0.1 second. Of course, you’ll be able to pull up to 299kph, nearing the boundaries of super car performance.

The CL 65, meanwhile, is completely mind-shattering, with a highly-tuned version of the previous 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 coupled to a five-speed automatic. Performance figures? 463kW horsepower, 1000Nm maximum torque and 4.2 seconds racing from zero to sixty miles per hour. Need we say more?

There are tons of new features to be made standard which includes the COMAND infotainment system with voice control. Delivery date for the base CL models? End of 2010. AMG models? Early 2011. Stay tuned.

Finally, the 2011 CL-Class

by Keiichi (RSS feed) July 2nd, 2010 at 6:37 pm

2011 CL600 06 597x371 Finally, the 2011 CL Class

Fellow Mercedes afficionados, lend us your ears! For we bring you news and fresh photos of the latest 2011 CL-Class, courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz USA media website.

The design, whose style will hook your very eyes, features extremely sophisticated and profound, dagger-like technology. Truth behold, the new CL-Class will take its throne as the flagship vehicle of all premium vehicles. With Mercedes-Benz’s twin turbocharged V8, capable of maxing out at 429 hp in stock form, offers as much as 10 to 15 percent in fuel economy, while working with at least 23% less carbon dioxide emission.

Meanwhile, the CL550 4MATIC variant presents an even bigger surprise, as it’s set to put a benchmark on efficiency for the premium segment. Mercedes-Benz has never been more uncompromising with safety as well, incorporating their ultra-modern camera and radar-based assistance systems—the Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist systems to name a couple—turning the CL-Class into a real-life Knight Rider.

The 2011 CL-Class will make its debut come Autumn this year, so watch out and stay tuned. It only happens here at BenzInsider.

Spy cam: The 2011 S-Class Coupe AMG

by Keiichi (RSS feed) May 19th, 2010 at 1:19 pm

Daimler CL - S class coupe (1) AMG

Every fan of four wheels and an engine has a hidden desire to own, or at least drive, a Mercedes-Benz. Admit it, you’re one of those millions who’ll gladly give up your pony in exchange for some fine German-engineered piece of hardware, most especially so if it’s an S-Class.

Well, then hows about an AMG version of the S-Class. Or better yet, in its latest, yet-to-debut form. The S-Class CL is no more, folks. Meet the up-and-coming S-Class Coupe. It’s Mercedes-Benz’s top-of-the-line full-bodied two-door coupe with a twist of AMG magic. And by that, we don’t mean no fantasy performance specs either. This is the real deal folks, and if rumors hold true, you’ll be able to witness it in all its glory for the first time in Paris this year.

The S-Class Coupe AMG will of course, based on previous experience, have a generous helping of sporty aerodynamic trims and bumpers, applied ever so discreetly as not to attract ricer comments. You’ll still be able to appreciate the LED lights, front and rear, that unmistakably take roots from the CLS. And most important of all, AMG will put their mark under the hood. Figures are yet to be released, but expect astronomical bumps from the base V6 and V8 engines.

Well, there you have it folks. Better start making plans on visiting France.

Spy Shots: 2011 S-Class Coupe just around the corner

by Keiichi (RSS feed) May 19th, 2010 at 11:05 am

Daimler CL - S class coupe (3)
For carmakers, with every new model comes hope of inspiring fans and customers alike. Such has always been the case with Mercedes-Benz, the company that never ceases to bring about great changes with their premium vehicles. True enough, their next project is the upgraded version of their C216 CL model.

You may have heard back in August 2008 about prototypes of the next CL being tested in Germany. Well, they’re true, and if you’ve seen the spyshots during that time you would have seen the AMG version of it. And by the way, the new CL won’t be called as such. Instead, it’ll be renamed as the S-Class Coupe.

Ring a bell? It should, especially since it’s a member of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship S-Class lineup. And by the way, ‘S’ means special, so it’ll take some meaty hardware for this latest model to be named as such. In its base form, sans AMG, the new S-Class Coupe will be donning a new grille and headlight design that includes LED daytime running lights. No, it won’t be like Audi’s. And the rear lights will also feature LED’s. Cool.

As for its drivetrain, well you already know Mercedes-Benz has new V6 and V8 engines being assembled as we speak. For the S-Class Coupe, they’re going to be sporting direct-injection and turbochargers for some serious power. Expect some exhaust upgrades as well. No more V12 engines for this fella’.

Set to hit the show floor in Paris this year. So watch out.

These include an elegant paint finish from the designo collection, a new AMG Sports package, top-class leather, black piano lacquer trim and beautifully executed emblems of the original trademarks inset into the centre console. These are accurate reproductions of the emblems that Daimler Motorengesellschaft and Benz & Cie registered as trademarks one hundred years ago, forming the basis for the Mercedes star. With this special edition, Mercedes-Benz is adding even more individuality to the luxury coupe, and showing that even the best can still be perfected.
