Next Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe Spotted

Peter Parcon July 25, 2016

It appears the four-year cycle for a facelift may not hold true with the S-Class Coupe as spy images of next generation Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe emerged recently, as indicated through a report from motor1.com. The camouflage on the mid-cycle facelift of the luxury coupe covers the front and rear bumpers, which gives an indication that the changes may be limited to these sections. Much of the changes may be on the front bumper as it may undergo some restyling to fit the A-shaped apron of an AMG vehicle. It may also be possible for the engine grille to be redesigned since the spy images showed it being taped up as… Continue Reading »

Next Generation Mercedes-Benz Test Mule Spotted

Peter Parcon July 25, 2016

Spy shots of the test mule of the next-generation Mercedes-Benz Sprinter emerged recently, as shown on a report from motor1.com. The new Sprinter is not expected to be officially unveiled before 2018, which means it is currently in the early stages of its development. One thing that stood out was the heavy camouflaged on the nose of the luxury commercial van. However, it does take some inspiration from the Metris/Vito through the way the headlights are connected to the grille. The other parts of the test mule are based on the current version of the Sprinter. Since function is more important than design, the upcoming Sprinter may have a boxy… Continue Reading »

Online Shopping Delivery Made Easy by Smart Cars

Giancarlo Perlas July 25, 2016

Daimler announced a new innovation in its smart cars. The company revealed that will be testing a new logistics service for its smart cars. While shopping online is very easy nowadays, the tricky part of it is mostly in the delivery process. Usually the problem occurs when the buyer is not in his designated address during the time of the delivery. Smart labs aims to solve this issue by allowing their cars to be specified by owners as their delivery address. The brand calls its new service as “smart ready to drop.” Smart lab is working in cooperation with DHL Paket to put the project into fruition. The beta testing of the program is scheduled in autumn….

Early this month, we have witnessed the work of Brabus with the Mercedes-Benz G500 Squared or the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×42. Not to be outdone, German tuning firm Mansory also did the same to the vehicle. Mansory chose the sky blue version of the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×42 to highlight its new G-Class package. The upgrade provided a boost in the iconic SUV’s engine plus some cosmetic changes in both its exterior and interior. Mansory retained the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine of the G500 4×42. However, the tuner increased the output of the G-Class by 62 hp. So from the standard 416 hp produced by the SUV, the specialist cranked up the numbers to a total of 478 hp. The torque… Continue Reading »

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is the Ultimate Compact Cross-Over

Muamer Hodzic July 25, 2016

With an already wide spread of SUVs to see at your local dealer, one could be forgiven for thinking Mercedes-Benz was late in arriving at the compact cross-over SUV party. As it stands, Mercedes-Benz offers 3 large SUV options – the big ML (aka M-Class), the extra-big GL, and the tough square G-Class, known around the world as Geländewagen. Therefore, the company is not actually late with its product, as it has been selling a compact SUV named GLK for quite a few years already, which competes with BMW X3 and Audi Q5 types. Inexplicably, GLK is built only in left-hand drive, so not available in the countries SA or… Continue Reading »
