Giancarlo Perlas October 10, 2020

Since last year, we have been seeing spy shots of what appeared to be the next-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Up until now, we are still waiting for the official unveiling of the car, but the high-performance Mercedes-AMG C63 version of the series is already making its rounds on public roads. The latest spy shots of Carscoops show the camouflaged prototype of the AMG C63. What makes us think that it is the AMG variant of the C-Class is its more aggressive shape.

The three-pointed star marque recently revealed an upcoming concept electric vehicle called the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.

Instead of simply going for a battery pack that’s larger than what they have in their EVs now, Mercedes is focusing on improving its power pack’s efficiency and range.

Giancarlo Perlas September 18, 2020

What happens when Mercedes-Benz Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener and Louis Vuitton Chief Creative Director Virgil Abloh clash and they choose the G-Class as the canvass of their artistic talents? The result is a unique creation called “Project Gelandewagen”. Project Gelandewagen is simply a 1:3-scale resin model of a modified white Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Then the vehicle is given wider fenders and its ride height is lowered giving it an aerodynamics design inspired by NASCAR cars. The interior of the model is also laid bare and… Continue Reading »
