Kimi Raikkonen Wins and Delays Fifth World Title of Lewis Hamilton

Giancarlo Perlas October 22, 2018

The 2018 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix should have been the defining moment of Lewis Hamilton as he was set to win his fifth World Drivers’ Championship. However, the unexpected win of Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen held him back from his goal for at least another week. The race began with Hamilton on the pole position, so everyone saw his fifth championship reign coming in the US event. When the race went underway though, the Briton appeared to struggle when Raikkonen snatched the lead. The Finn gambled on softer tires with better grip but less durability, which paid off in his favor. The Ferrari driver maintained his position going to… Continue Reading »

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 Spy Shots Surface Online

Giancarlo Perlas October 20, 2018

The testing of the new Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 continues. The new spy shots of the large sport utility vehicle appear online again. The prototype appears covered in a heavy black and white camouflage so it is hard to make out what Mercedes is up to with the high-performance GLS. The misty background does not help either. However, looking very closely at the images reveals that the upcoming AMG GLS 63 will feature a lot of changes compared to the present version of the model. The most noticeable upgrade comes from the front grille. It should be noted that the current model features a double horizontal grille styling. The new one replaces… Continue Reading »

Feast Your Eyes on This Rare 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet

Giancarlo Perlas October 20, 2018

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet claimed its special place in the history of the automotive world by being the last car handmade by its brand. Mercedes also made sure that it was created with the highest possible standards of its time. The 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet was produced by Mercedes to match the convertibles offered by Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The car served as a nice alternative to rich customers who thought that the Mercedes-Benz 600 was overly showy. One example of the 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet is currently offered by Hexagon Classics for £335,000.00. The four-seater convertible has been completely restored to resemble its fresh-from-the-factory form decades ago. The… Continue Reading »

Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan Spotted Testing

Giancarlo Perlas October 20, 2018

The first entry of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan to the AMG brand was spotted while undergoing testing. The features of the car indicate that it is the Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan model. The spy shots of the AMG A35 Sedan from Motor1, only show the vehicle partially covered in camouflage. The roof, sides and boot lid of the car are all exposed. It seems there’s no point in hiding them anyway since we already saw the AMG A35 hatchback at the Paris Auto Show last month. We are expecting the AMG A35 Sedan to carry the same sporty upgrades on the bumper, air intakes, side skirts, rear diffuser, dual exhaust pipes… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas October 19, 2018

The Mercedes-Benz GLB was once again spied on the road. The new spy video shows a fleet of the vehicle with trailers in tow. Except for the trailer, the GLB here shows no significant updates compared to the old sightings of the sport utility vehicle. It remains heavily covered in a black and white wrap. Even the windows along the C-pillars are hidden. What we know so far is that the GLB will be using the next-generation Modular Front-Drive Architecture, which is also referred to as the MFA2. It should be noted that both the A-Class and B-Class ride on the same platform too. The mind-boggling question in the video… Continue Reading »
