Lewis Hamilton wins 2016 British Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton displayed fine form in his home race Sunday, taking his third-straight British Grand Prix victory over his teammate Nico Rosberg and thus shaving more points off the deficit in championship points. The win drove wild some 135,000 fans who were on hand at Silverstone. Rosberg’s lead in the drivers’ standings has now been cut to a mere point, after an investigation for radio correspondence between him and the team led stewards to slap Rosberg with a 10-second time penalty. With five laps left, Rosberg encountered gearbox problems that had him stuck in seventh gear, and stewards are currently checking to see if the amount of information exchanged exceeded the maximum allowable… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas July 5, 2016

There can be nothing more flattering for a vehicle than be compared to a supercar like the Bugatti Veyron, and this is exactly what is being given to the Mercedes E-Class by tuning company Posaidon. While Mercedes is planning an all-wheel drive E63 AMG, a particular tuning company by the name of Posaidon has just started revolutionizing the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Using the traction offered by the outgoing AWD E63, Merc was able to produce the same performance figures on this supercar. This only means that the Posaidon-tuned E-Class will have a 218mph top speed and the ability to go 0-62mph in just 2.8 seconds. The top speed makes the E-Class… Continue Reading »

Mercedes G-Wagen 4×4 Squared Gets Tuned By Brabus

Giancarlo Perlas July 5, 2016

The Mercedes G-Wagen is not the first vehicle you’ll have in mind if you want something tuned. It has a body-on-frame chassis and 50-year-old origins—Mercedes clearly did not intend for it to be a performance car. Besides, the G-Wagen has a far inferior aerodynamics compared to anything Brabus has put their magic on before. Well, it seems Brabus will not be put off by an underperforming Mercedes anytime soon. The tuning company announced a tuned version of the G500 4×42, which means the Mercedes G63’s 6×6 enormous tires and portal axles can now be found under the regular, four-wheeled G-Wagen. Inside, Brabus has colored the G-Wagen a shade of electric blue… Continue Reading »

Mercedes-Benz CLS Gets a Stealth Wrap

Giancarlo Perlas July 5, 2016

M&D Exclusive Car Design recently pimped up a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS 500. The firm gave the car what it called the “Stealth” wrap and rechristened it as the CLS 500 PD550 Black Edition Stealth. The wrap was probably intended to let the CLS blend in the concrete jungle as M&D wrapped it in a combination of Matte charcoal or Matte black over Matte white complete with orange accents. However, one might argue that the wrap does not make the car stealthy at all. Well, we might have to agree with that as the CLS already commands a lot of attention because it belongs in the top hierarchy of Mercedes. Then the wrap in… Continue Reading »

F1: Hamilton, Rosberg could face suspensions for future collisions

Ryan Joseph Ramos July 5, 2016

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are locked in a tight battle for the 2016 Formula One driver’s championship, and it doesn’t help one bit that they are teammates. Competition between the two have led to some ugly crashes and unnecessary contact in the past, and now the two could face fines or even suspensions from Mercedes if they are to collide in a race again. This is seen as a way for the team to avoid actually issuing team orders. With contact between the Mercedes cars in three out of the past five outings, team officials are now forced to act to prevent excessive competition between their drivers from sabotaging their… Continue Reading »
