A-Class Comfort Mercedes-Benz Getting Popularity for Safety and Environmental Protection

A-Class Comfort Mercedes-Benz
The new generation of Class A is for the sale and is safer, cheaper and more environmentally compatible than ever before. So far over 125,000 Class A are sold in the United Kingdom since it opened in 1997 and is one of the best selling models in the range. The design was revised and new technical developments have further enhanced levels of security with the right lighting crash and adaptive brake lights. The car is much more comfortable as a result of new interior materials, with better fit and support in the seats. All models have new infotainment systems with Bluetooth connectivity, and the engines are more economical as a result of threenew BlueEFFICIENCY models. Since March 2009 an ECO start-stop function on the A 150 and A-170, with manual transmission and three-door A 160 CDI from an optional BlueEFFICIENCY package which improves fuel economy benefit of 11 percent shooting with 64.2 miles per gallon . Independent experts have class A get valid international certificate for the environment already by the class C and class held S.

The Mercedes-Benz A-class is younger and more confident than before. Scan lines of the newly designed headlamps harmoniously combine the front and flanks, while the redesigned bumper reinforces this impression, and lower air intake is now much wider, affecting the width of the body. The grille is also new in design which underlines the progressive will of the class.

Three finishing lines for customers to choose from
The design is distinguished from the differences between the lines of organization and equipment of the class. The openings on the front of the entry level are dark gray.In the Elegance and Avantgarde SE models are silver and gray metallic iridium Atlas high brightness, respectively. Both models feature stainless steel exhaust, fog lamps with chrome trim projection headlights, chrome handle bar and side skirts in body color. The three lines can be identified by their conceptions of each wheel and interior design.All models now have a large outdoor area outside mirrors and door handles are in the color of the vehicle for all models painted.

Fuel consumption: The A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 64.2 mpg
With fuel economy from 42.8 to 64.2 miles per gallon, the new generation of Class A is very efficient. With the introduction of an optional BlueEFFICIENCY package for the three-door A 160 CDI, the fuel efficiency of diesel engines of latest generation direct injection of more than 11 percent, or 6.6 miles per gallon since improved over the previous model. Available from autumn 2008, the package includes measures to the engine, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, energy management and weight improved. It also has a diesel particulate filter. The sum of these measures means that the A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY a fuel consumption of 64.2 mpg is impressive and, as a result of CO2 emissions by 82 hp shot is 116 g / km.
And start-StopThe ECO start / stop function reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by automatically switching the phases of the motor idling. ECO start-stop from spring 2009 for the 150 and A 170 is available when the five-speed manual twin cities and is both badged BlueEFFICIENCY. When traveling at low speeds, the driver should the manual transmission into neutral and the brakes. The engine is then cut and the ECO display appears in the dashboard.

The A 150 BlueEFFICIENCY (95 hp) achieved 48.7 miles per gallon, what 139 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. In city traffic, the new ECO start / stop function result in a fuel savings of up to nine percent.
Ecology: The Class A is the first compact car with an environmental certificate
Environmental compatibility of vehicles not only on the basis of the emission standard and the measurement of fuel consumption to be evaluated but considers the entire life cycle of the vehicle the vehicle. An environmental impact assessment, which analyzed more than 40,000 procedures is the foundation of the international environmental certification ISO 14062 standards (Design for Environment).

Mercedes-Benz is the world of automobile brands to receive this award. The analysis shows that CO2 emissions were seven percent below the previous 2004 model, and reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 13 percent.
Carbon dioxide emissions throughout the life cycle of the A 150 BlueEFFICIENCY with the ECO start / stop are reduced by five percent, so that the environmental audit a remarkable reduction in CO2 emissions more than 12 percent over the previous model as the means.
The concept of recycling a vehicle is also considered. 95% of the class can be recycled, will conform with EU regulations come into force from 2015 and renewable raw materials are used in the production, including the use of flax, the seeds olive, cotton, coconut, wood veneers and abaca fibers.

Safety: preventing the brake lights depending on traffic
The adaptive brake light technology is standard. After an emergency braking from a speed of more than 30 mph, the brake lights flash rapidly to warn following traffic, so drivers to react faster and avoid a collision. Mercedes engineers found that the braking responses of drivers on average 0.2 seconds faster in emergency braking situations if a flashing red light is given in place of conventional brake lights. Class A continues to set standards in this market segment in terms of occupant protection, and now adds to its security technology are already widely used with safety lighting for indoor crash response. It turns off automatically set after a serious accident, so that the occupants with better orientation and support to emergency services.

Active Park Assist: ultrasound and electric steering makes parking
Drivers-Class A may now decide actively for the park service. This system is running, exploring the miles of road to 25 hours for suitable parking spaces, to identify the car. As soon as a suitable place, the driver is has the ability to parking. identified when entering the room and then just accept the slow speed and vice versa. Active park assist takes over the management and automatically moves the car in the parking lot. The parking lot is 1.30 meters higher than Class A, which currently no other car can automatically park in such a small space.
A-Class Comfort Mercedes-Benz
The car also has Hill Start Assist, which prevents moving backwards when the driver brakes on the accelerator pedal is moved to a small hill to start.
Audio: new units offer Bluetooth, a color display and navigation throughout Europe

2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz - Luxurious Super Sports cars

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is one of the biggest supercar releases of the past year. But the company isn't content with just making ultra luxurious supercars for the rich and well dressed, they also plan on releasing a fully homologated GT3 race version for the gentleman racer.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
The GT3 racing version of the SLS AMG is powered by the same mid-front mounted 6.3 litre V8 engine as the road car. There'll probably be a few modifications for the race unit, but Mercedes haven't yet announced final power outputs or specifications. Or even a final weight figure. That's all for the FIA to decide in the near future as part of the homologation process.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
Power transmission in the SLS AMG GT3 is done through a six-speed sequential racing transmission with steering wheel shift paddles and an integrated multi-disc locking differential. As in the SLS AMG road car, the transmission is located at the rear axle for better weight distribution: the engine and transmission are connected by a torque tube within which a carbon-fibre shaft rotates at the engine speed.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
The Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 is instantly recognizable as belonging to the SLS AMG family - as any GT3 racer is. The biggest visual changes are a new front apron, new splitter, redesigned bonnet with additional air intakes and vents, new sideskirts which have air inlets for cooling the rear brakes, rear diffuser and a prominent adjustable rear wing. The C-pillars provide housing for the standardized filler pipes for the fast-refuel system.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
The communication of Daimler release says that “the AMG V8 engine with 6.3-liter is identical to that used in the serial sports car. With a low weight, however, sports car accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h for only 3.7 seconds (serial sprint for 3.9 seconds). The maximum speed was announced for 300 mph, but producers say they have more opportunities to raise her brakes are racing by AMG, as disks are ventilated. Front wheels are size 12×18, rear 13×18.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
Powering this race car is a 6.3-Liter V8 engine that produces 600HP and controlling all this power is a six speed racing transmission system with shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. The SLS AMG GT3 is designed as a racing sports car for customers competing in sprints and long-distance races.
"Thanks to uncompromising lightweight construction and superior handling dynamics, the SLS AMG provides an outstanding basis for a highly competitive racing car. This exciting GT3 version is our response to strong customer demand for a car designed for these attractive motor sports car series," says Volker Mornhinweg, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
The body of the 2011 SLS AMG GT3 is the most significant difference from the road car starting with the aggressive front fascia and splitter to the massive rear spoiler. The hood of the race model is also very different from the normal SLS AMG with a large center cooling vent that helps to move air to cool the engine and the braking system. Along the side of the car, vents have been added to cool the rear brakes without compromising aerodynamics and all of these improvements to the overall cooling effort of the car makes it ideal for long road races like the 12 Hours of Sebring.
2011 SLS AMG GT3 Mercedes-Benz
The SLS AMG GT3 is equipped with a six-speed racing transmission with sequential shift. A steering wheel with a diameter of 13 inches facilitates perfect vehicle control. Because it is open at the top, the driver always has a perfect view of the central display, which provides all relevant information such as road speed, engine speed, operating temperatures, lap times and gear selection. The SLS AMG GT3 is also equipped with precisely calculated cooling channels – openings in the front skirt and ahead of the rear wheels direct cool airflow over the brake discs. All four brake discs are ventilated, slotted and drilled.
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG race car is expected to delivery scheduled prior to the start of the 2011 racing season. However, interested customers can order this awesome vehicle starting in autumn 2010. The Mercedes-Benz display at the 2010 New York Auto Show, the 2011 SLS AMG will carry a starting price-tag of $183,000 when it goes on sale.

Kicherer E 50 Mercedes-Benz Spots Car E-Class Coupe

The new ex-works 500 E-Class coupé is in itself not underpowered. With 388 PS and 530 Nm torque it´s the currently most powerful production model coupé that the company can offer its customers. However, those who like it a touch more dynamisc can find what they want with the traditional refiner Kicherer in Stockach. Engineers, technicans and designers have taken on the E-Class derivative and accentuated it in all things sporty, technically and optically.
Kicherer E 50 Mercedes-Benz
Engineers, technicians and designers of the car refiner Kicherer in Stockach have taken on the 500 E-class coupé derivative. This new ex-works E-class is the currently most powerful production model coupé that Mercedes-Benz can offer with 388 PS and 530 Nm torque. Therefore, the Kicherer E 50 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is dedicated for customers who like the coupe with a more dynamic and sportier touch.

Mercedes-Benz McLaren Sports Cars SLR Stirling Moss

Bearing the namesake of legendary British racer Stirling Moss, the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss, will be making its big debut as the newest McLaren SLR variant amongst the automotive elite (and few entries from Kia) at the 38th Annual North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January.
Mercedes-Benz McLaren Sports Cars SLR Stirling Moss
Stuttgart– Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are adding the crowning glory to the model family of their highly successful SLR super sports car with a new, uncompromisingly spectacular car. There is neither a roof nor a windscreen to separate the driver and passenger from the outside world; they enjoy unadulterated high-speed excitement with all the attributes of a speedster.
The new SLR Stirling Moss is also characterised by the most sophisticated technology and a breathtaking design which reinterprets the SLR legend. With 478 kW/650 hp the SLR Stirling Moss accelerates its V8 supercharged engine from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 350 km/h – no other series-production car is at the same time so open and so fast.
This extreme concept makes the new high-performance sports car a legitimate bearer of the name of the British motor racing legend and Mille Miglia record-holder Stirling Moss, who drove the legendary Mercedes-Benz SLR racing cars from victory to victory during the 1950s.
A successful collaboration of engineering which is demonstrated far beyond the relatively ancillary exclusion of a windscreen, the SLR Stirling Moss is truly an equal celebration of McLaren’s both past and present. Thus in keeping with its status as a rare breed, production of the SLR Stirling Moss will be limited to only 75 units and, to further prevent your uncultured, peasant hands from touching it, each unit will be priced at a cool $1.04 million (€750,000).
This is why the modern-day version of the legendary SLR carries the additional words “Stirling Moss” in its name. As the new SLR Stirling Moss unites the character of the current SLR models with the fascination of the SLR of 1955. The core values of both the historical and the present-day SLR models include an exciting new design, innovative technology, high-class materials displaying perfect craftsmanship, and, above all: a unique driving experience for all the senses.
Whilst the 300 SLR earned its spurs on racing circuits the world over, the new member of the SLR family is not designed for the racetrack. Although it sets new standards in terms of technology, performance and excitement – just like its forebears – it is aimed at individuals who have exquisite requirements and nurture very special dreams.
Remaining totally true to the specifications of the 300 SLR, the new Silver Arrow’s equipment is extremely sophisticated and yet at the same time decidedly spartan, doing without both a roof and side windows. There are just two wind deflectors a couple of centimetres in height to protect the driver and passenger from the airflow. Two air scoops integrated into the bodywork serve as roll-over bars. With this extreme concept the new SLR Stirling Moss is visually very different from all the other vehicles which belong to the elite sports car class.
Just like the legendary racing vehicles of yesteryear, the SLR Stirling Moss dazzles with its superlative performance. Accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and with a top speed of 350 km/h this puristic high-performance sports car denotes completely new dimensions in open-top driving. And not just because of the impressive performance figures; every time drivers take to the wheel of the SLR Stirling Moss their senses are addressed with a previously unheard of intensity, conveying a driving experience in its purest and most sensual form. This automotive thoroughbred thus facilitates the kind of open-air feeling that is utterly unique for a road-going vehicle.
Developers working on the Stirling Moss were able to fall back on a wealth of experience gathered when producing the SLR Coupé and Roadster, in particular where the technical base was concerned, with its extravagant carbon-fibre design, high-performance suspension and throaty V8 engine. The common denominator uniting the Stirling Moss with the other members of the SLR family is the aerodynamic concept with a closed underbody and a diffuser in the rear bumper for maximum possible downforce at the rear axle – with one difference: the diffuser here is considerably larger than that on the coupé and roadster.
The new SLR Stirling Moss is the kind of high-calibre speedster coveted by the sporting gentry and enthusiasts alike. At the same time it is a collector’s item which marks the pinnacle of an era and, for the foreseeable future, at least, the final curtain for the SLR. In May 2009 production of the SLR models will cease; only a total of 75 units of the Stirling Moss will be manufactured between June and December 2009, bearing chassis numbers from 1 to 75. Not only does this exclusive vehicle represent the conclusion of the current SLR family; it also serves as a very special thank you to the most loyal of SLR customers, for they are the only ones able to acquire a Stirling Moss.

FAB-Design Mercedes-Benz Mclaren SLR Desire

The SLR Desire is a creation of Swiss tuners FAB-Design, specialists in Mercedes-Benz customization. The SLR Desire is their first attempt at modifying the SLR and the vehicle was first unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

The FAB-Design Mercedes Mclaren SLR Desire features a very noticeable and polarizing body modification which is sure to have both the "love it" and "hate it" camps split into equal numbers. The styling seems to be partially inspired by the design of the original Mercedes-Benz 300 SL from the 1950s, and the two cars share the same distinctive horizontal wheel arch extensions.

The radical front end of the SLR Desire features enlarged intakes and a much deeper front bumper with an integrated lip spoiler, new vents have also been incorporated into the bumper just forward of the front wheels. Down the sides the new side sills are noticeably deeper and wider and help to connect the front and rear wheel arch extensions. At the rear of the SLR Desire a distinctive 'V' shaped design divides the larger diffuser into two separate side. This v-shaped styling is echoed in the upside-down v-shape of the rear spoiler mounting. The massive 20" wheels of the SLR Desire are also a product of FAB-Design.

Powering the SLR Desire is the same 5.4 litre supercharged V8 found in the standard car, however FAB-Design have managed to up the power output to 750 horsepower and, raise the torque level to an enormous 1,080 Nm. This setup gives the SLR Desire a top speed of 196 mph and a 0-62 mph (100km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. 






Brabus T65 RS Vanish

The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is one of those German hyper-cars which is so immense in its performance capabilities you'd think it would be left well alone by the tuning companies. And for the most part that's true. However specialist Merc tuners Brabus are always up for a challenge, and the SL65 AMG Black Series is just their sort of car.

The Brabus T65 RS Vanish is the result. An 800 horsepower monster with a top speed in excess of 200 mph, and a 0-62 mph time well under 4 seconds. In fact the T65 RS Vanish is so quick off the line it can hit 124 mph - about the top speed of a normal family car - in just under 10 seconds.

The increase in power of nearly 140 hp over the standard SL65 AMG Black Series comes courtesy of the BRABUS high-tech twin turbo system that includes two special exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers. Larger intercoolers are also added, as is a high-performance sports exhaust with free-flow metal catalysts. The engine management system was also reprogrammed to take full advantage of the mechanical upgrades.

The T65 RS engine delivers 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), available already at a low 2,100 rpm. Peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

The Brabus T65 RS Vanish package also includes changes to the exterior, like the carbon-fiber hood scoop, and optional matt-black paintwork. The interior can be custom tailored to suit the buyers tastes.

MERCEDES BENZ Biome Concept (2010)




At the 2010 Los Angeles Design Challenge, the designers from the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad, California, surprised everyone with a revolutionary vision. Taking their inspiration from nature, they designed a vehicle which is fully integrated into the ecosystem, from the moment of its creation right through to the end of its service life. The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept grows in a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a nursery. Out on the road the car emits pure oxygen, and at the end of its lifespan it can be simply composted or used as building material.

"As the inventor of the motor car, we wanted to illustrate the vision of the perfect vehicle of the future, which is created and functions in complete symbiosis with nature. The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept is a natural technology hybrid, and forms part of our earth's ecosystem. It grows and thrives like the leaves on a tree" according to Hubert Lee, Head of the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad. This year the competition had called for the creation of a vision of a safe and comfortable 2+2 compact car featuring good handling and a first-class design, and weighing only 1,000 lbs (around 454 kg/kerb weight).

Mercedes-Benz symbiosis - a partnership with nature
The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept symbiosis vehicle is made from an ultralight material called BioFibre and tips the scales at just 875.5 lbs (around 394 kg). This material is significantly lighter than metal or plastic, yet more robust than steel. BioFibre is grown from proprietary DNA in the Mercedes-Benz nursery, where it collects energy from the sun and stores it in a liquid chemical bond called BioNectar4534. As part of this process, the vehicle is created from two seeds: The interior of the BIOME grows from the DNA in the Mercedes star on the front of the vehicle, while the exterior grows from the star on the rear. To accommodate specific customer requirements, the Mercedes star is genetically engineered in each case, and the vehicle "grows" when the genetic code is combined with the seed capsule. The wheels are grown from four separate seeds.

The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept is powered by BioNectar4534, which is stored in the BioFibre material of the chassis, interior, and wheels. In addition, Mercedes-Benz has developed a technology to equip trees with special receptors which can collect the excess solar energy and turn it into BioNectar4534. This creates a direct link with nature's energy sources and acts as an incentive to cover mobility energy requirements through more trees and at the same time maintain natural resources. Like plants, the Mercedes-Benz symbiosis vehicle also produces oxygen, thereby contributing to improving air quality. At the end of its service life, the Mercedes-Benz BIOME can be fully composted or used as building material. Thanks to the exclusive use of green technologies, the BIOME vehicle thus blends seamlessly into the ecosystem.
