Hyundai was the big kahuna sponsoring last night’s Oscar broadcast, but in a shocking upset, Mercedes may have walked off with the trophy for best performance by an automaker. Sure, the ad announcing the debut of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 hybrid was bland, and it didn’t say much of anything about the car, but it showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that Mercedes knows its target market like the back of its hand.

2011 Mercedes Benz S63 AMG will receive the company’s all-new 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 engine, as well as the SpeedShift MCT seven-speed gearbox already on offer in the E63 and SL63. Even though it’s down on displacement compared to the outgoing 6.2-liter engine, the M 157 generates more power (544 horsepower in ’standard’ mode, 571 with the optional performance package) and more torque (586 pound-feet or 660 lb-ft. with the optional performance pack). And despite the change in engine size, the big sedan’s S63 moniker will remain.

Yet another carmaker has revealed pictures of its concept car that will be revealed at Geneva Auto Show: Mercedez-Benz F800. The new car previews the next-generation CLS and shows a completely new design line for the German brand. As a premiere, the car comes with a new concept for the rear doors which are sliders, not swingers, exactly like those features on the minivans.
Other features are the incorporation of two different electric drivetrains: one version of the F800 Style is a a plug-in hybrid with a V6 petrol engine mated to a 100 hp electric motor (Mercedes-Benz says that the car can run 18 miles in full-electric mode). The other version of the F800 Style is a pure electric vehicle powered by an on-board fuel cell.

Put your shades on, ’cause this baby’s blazing! This is the work of custom car accessory company Garson/D.A.D. They covered every square inch of this beast in Swarovski crystals, the inside covering parts of the center console, door trim and even the rear view mirror. I wonder WHO was patient enough to do this job, but especially…WHY?!?!
Bling your brains out! Have a look…

1oo very special units for lucky M-B addicts. All in black: black leather, black matte paint, “darkened” headlights – what the hell would that mean…SL also comes with 19-inch AMG wheels, silver front brake calipers and a bunch of components that are black where otherwise they wouldn’t be. In other words, it’s the super special Mercedes-uniquely-named-black-that-is-really-just-normal-black-but-we-can’t-call-it-that-to-justify-charging-several-thousand-dollars-for-it Black.
I can think of some kind of persons this astonishing SL limited edition would be fit for: vampires! Like: “Hey, it’s too bright! Turn on the head-darks!”

Mercedes Benz is going to present the new, 2009 SL roadster at the

For those of you sensible to draft, the German manufacturer is adding the patented Airscarf feature, which consists of a small heater and fan installed in the seats headrests, blowing warm air in the napes of the passenger. Now you can ride with the top down even if the weather is a little cool. (more…)
