“Leaked” photos seems to have become a trend with carmakers nowadays, alongside useless “teaser” images and fake Facebook “likes”. There’s always just a few images that get “leaked”, likely intentional by the carmaker’s marketeers themselves. Here we have the facelifted 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as found on various sites on the internet.
This is the weirdly-named Brabus B63-620 WIDESTAR. It’s named like so because it is based off of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. And it has “620” horses. And it’s very wide.
The SLS AMG may be two years old now, but it was just recently that Mercedes-Benz released a teaser showing what could be the covered SLS AMG Black Series. However, suspicions were proven true as the automaker removed the tight-fitting drapes.
So if you thought that the crazy automobile recall saga had ended, you were wrong. Since our last post on the recalls earlier this year, there were an insane amount of recalls that followed, from almost every car manufacturer in the world you can ever think of, almost all of them being issued following instructions from the U.S.-based NHTSA agency. And we could not bother to post each recall issue as a separate story, the task being as equally tedious as the reader-response to these. Here are all the recalls that could potentially be relevant to our region since April 2012.
Mercedes-Benz prototypes are seasonal to Dubai, as new camouflaged models are spotted around the city at regular intervals as they undergo hot-weather testing. This time, we have the 2013-2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class trundling around in the UAE.
German auto-manufacturer Mercedes-Benz have officially revealed the CLS Shooting Brake, essentially a station-wagon version of the CLS-Class “four-door coupe” sedan.
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the 2013 SLS AMG GT in Affalterbach, in an event which marks the end of shelf-life of its original SLS AMG ‘Coupe’ of 2010 and the ‘Roadster’ version from 2011. Henceforth, all SLS AMG models will be of the new GT variety.
For certain reasons, we hadn’t brought home a Mercedes-Benz in over three years until this one, but it is interesting that the last Merc we fully tested back in 2009 also happened to be an ML 63 AMG. This new one is a fair bit different though.
On any given day the 510 hp from the naturally-aspirated 6.2-litre Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series would quench anyones thirst for speed, but the tuners at Väth in Hösbach think speed should have few bounds and that is why they have created the 756 hp V63 Supercharged monster.
