Giancarlo Perlas June 26, 2022

Gene Ponder, a Texan tycoon and car collector, is about to put up for auction over 120 vintage European sports cars that he bought over the years. These include Mercedes, Ferraris, Bugattis, MGs, and some replicas of ultra-rare cars. According to Ponder, he passionately built his collection over 15 years because European sports cars happened to be his “true love”. Among them is a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, which he regularly brought to car shows. It also includes an all-stock 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC, one of the 14 1935 MG PB Airline Coupes that were ever made, and a replica of a 1936 Bugatti Atlantic built with authentic parts… Continue Reading »

Performmaster Gives a Last Hoorah to the V8 Mercedes-AMG C63

Giancarlo Perlas June 26, 2022

The gradual electrification of all Mercedes-Benz models has led to the phase-out of some V8 and V12-bearing units. One of the casualties is the Mercedes-AMG C63, which is about to ditch its V8 powertrain in favor of a smaller engine partnered with an electric motor to produce a plug-in hybrid setup. As a last salute to the outgoing AMG C63’s V8, Performmaster recently unveiled its project called the “C63 V8 Final Edition”. The key feature of the car is the bump in its V8 engine by 102 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque to bring up its total output to 612 hp and 620 lb-ft. The power-up cuts the 0… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas June 26, 2022

Mansory is one of the wildest tuners for Mercedes-Benz out there that never fail to surprise us for better or worse. It’s just hard to predict what its specialists will do to a car bearing the three-pointed star mark once they get their hands on one. Their mods can range from “wow” to downright weird. Sometimes they hit the jackpot like what they did to a certain V-Class last year or sometimes they just go bananas over an auto. Recently, Mansory released its new project for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS where it raised the output of the ultra-luxury SUV’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with EQ boost from its original 550 hp… Continue Reading »

Examining the Exterior, Interior, and Sound of the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53

Giancarlo Perlas June 25, 2022

“100% Emotions, 0% Emission” is how Mercedes-Benz defines its new EQS. The car showcases a very refined exterior with smoother and cleaner surfaces almost free of body lines, except on the lower sides and the hood for adornment of those key areas. It is indeed a worthy electric counterpart of the flagship S-Class. But as for the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53, is it really a “proper AMG”? The AMG EQS 53 may not be in the same vein as the range-topping AMG S65 or the other AMG cars that we know of because all that Mercedes did was put a faux Panamericana front grille, sportier wheels, and a more defined rear… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas June 23, 2022

Right after the unveiling of the Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV, people are now on the lookout for the arrival of its AMG models. Recently, the crossover coupe and high-performance variants of the compact SUV were already unofficially confirmed via spy shots. According to sources, along the line will be the range-topping trim Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 with plug-in hybrid tech. It’s still hard to tell whether one of the AMG GLC SUVs we have been seeing lately in some of the spy shots is the GLC 43 or the GLC 63 due to the level of camouflage covering their key exterior areas. However, thanks to a rendering from TopElectricSUV, we now get… Continue Reading »
