9316788861659390739 Spy photos of the next generation S Class

These latest spy images reveal a camouflaged 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class in various times. There isn’t much info about the next-generation S-Class apart from what we’ve written in previous posts. Daimler AG’s flagship vehicle will reportedly feature Mercedes-Benz’s new MRA technology, short for Mercedes Rear-wheel Architecture.

The MRA platform will showcase a brand new four-link front suspension system that comes standard with air springs. Mercedes-Benz officials say that the MRA platform is extremely unique, being highly adaptable to differing road condition. The best about the MRA platform is that it allows Mercedes-Benz to play around with at least four new model variants of the 2013 S-Class, namely a short wheelbase, long wheelbase, coupe and four-seat convertible models.

Like we said before, the new S-Class will also feature Mercedes-Benz’s revolutionary Magic Light Control and Magic Body Control systems. The MBC uses a pair of on-board cameras to scan for changes in terrain and road conditions, instructing the suspension to adapt for maximum ride handling and comfort. Meanwhile, the MLC monitors outside conditions in order to automatically adjust the S-Class’ headlamp lighting.

Another plus is the new COMAND entertainment system that will now feature Internet connectivity and downloadable software updates.

Of course, there’s the whole new lineup of new V6, V8 and V12 engines that will define the new S-Class’ character. No question that there will be an AMG engine in V12 form to push the S-Class beyond the envelope.

As for now, you’ll just have to settle for some spy photos courtesy of World Car Fans. Stay tuned.

New S-Class models provide a real taste of sci-fi tech

by (RSS feed) May 15th, 2011 at 10:44 pm

MercedesS class 2012 1 597x331 New S Class models provide a real taste of sci fi tech

The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is arriving soon – 2012 to be specific. According to reports, the new model will come in four different versions, all falling under the codename “W222”. It’s an attempt by the German car manufacturing giant to fill in a much bigger area of the premium vehicle segment with four bodystyle options, namely the standard wheelbase salon, an extended wheelbase salon, a coupe to replace the current CL model, and a four-seat top down.

Now, you might ask if “Isn’t that a little too many S-Class models?” We might agree with you on that but the thing is, you can’t stop a good thing from happening. Mercedes-Benz is simply playing around with their brand new set of MRA parts. MRA, short for Mercedes Rear-wheel drive Architecture, can be divided into 93 unique modules. That’s how flexible the company’s design matrix is. And so, you can expect a lot more rear-drive models coming out in the near future.

The main highlight of the next batch of S-Class models is the front suspension design. It’ll be featuring Mercedes-Benz’s all-new four-link system that’ll make steering, braking and damping forces fully independent of one another, while the rear will be featuring an improved version of the old, tried-and-proven multilink arrangement. Yes, air springs will be standard, albeit the ABC anti-roll function will fetch an extra few dollars.

Also look out for Mercedes-Benz’s MBC, or Magic Body Control system.  It uses a pair of cameras to monitor the road and instructs the vehicle to compensate the control systems for surface irregularities. Kind of like KITT from Knight Rider. And don’t forget the MLC, or Magic Light Control system, which dynamically controls the full LED headlamps based on the vehicle’s speed, steering angle and weather conditions.

Sounds too good to come true? You better believe it.

Competing for a pair of all-new 2012 C-Class Coupes, teams will have the help of Twitter-savvy celebrities, who, in the role of Team Coach, will rally online support for their assigned teams and raise money for charity in the process.

The all-new CL Coupe unsheathed in Australia

by (RSS feed) October 16th, 2010 at 6:20 am

2011 mercedes benz cl class australia debut unclear 02 4c31150a0aafe 615x350 597x369 The all new CL Coupe unsheathed in Australia

We just can’t help but notice the subtle similarities between the new CLS and the 2011 CL-Class Coupe, as it was unearthed at the Australian International Motor Show by none other than Mercedes-Benz Australia.

The new CL will have a different powerplant—a 4.7-liter V8—replacing the retiring CL 500′s 5.5-liter V8. This new engine, despite its being smaller than the old CL’s powerplant, is capable of delivering more power at less expense to both the driver and the environment. So despite the new CL’s subtle external makerover, it does get more than it bargained for in the form of a much more reliable and fuel efficient engine featuring BlueDIRECT technology.

If you look over at its front, you won’t miss its obviously-SLS-inspired grille, so that says a lot about Mercedes-Benz’s design current design philosophy. And did we mention there are subtle similarities with the new CLS? The headlamps, for example, although missing the mid-LED strip on the CLS, is a stark semblance. And so are the muscular rear quarter panels which give obvious hints of the power driving the rear wheels. The front bumper has been redesigned while the daytime LED running lights are capped over by a reworked hood.

We can’t say we’re not as excited about the new CL as we were about the new CLS, having Stop-Start and Brake Energy Recovery technologies. The 320kW of power and 700Nm of torque ain’t bad either. We like. Do you?

Finally, the 2011 CL-Class

by (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.
