The car will be officially presented at the test day that some Formula 1 teams held at the Valencia circuit in Cheste, Spain on February 1, 2011, but we can go see the first official images (of fact has been published in the official team site on the internet Mercedes GP) of the car that will use this season to try to take the crown for Sebastian Vettel, the reigning world champion in the category.

At first glance, few differences are not displaying the Mercedes W02 GP from the model that came to court in 2010, spoke of the W01. The changes, beyond the mandatory regulatory changes were more than necessary given the poor performance and lack of competitiveness displayed by a car that never lived up to the Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, and (in some passages World 2010) of the Renault. The W01 was born evil and even in early winter tests Ross Brawn and company realized the poverty of the new competitive Silver Arrow, which could not be remedied over the course of the season.

When Karl Benz patented 125 years ago his invention, perhaps never imagined that everything would become what it is today … or possibly yes. The truth is that much time has passed and much water has flowed under the bridge and Mercedes Benz is now what is, in part thanks to the strength and vision of people like his creator. Not every day a company can celebrate 125 years of patenting that almost certainly has been the undisputed landmark in the history of the cars.
The German firm held by this time that great birthday and do something very special and very particular way. Just presented in a sculpture society to which they have named Mercedes Benz Aesthetics 125 which is in fact much more than it appears.

We can not consider the Mercedes Benz 125 Aesthetics as a concept car, in fact it is not. Nor can we come to regard as simply a bare chassis, and that neither is. In the best way that we can include the sculpture of the German is saying that it is actually carried a sketch materialized reality and corporately. But the Mercedes Benz 125 Aesthetics is more than a simple sketch embodied, is actually responsible for rendering all and sundry how will the cars of the three-pointed star in the future that lies ahead. Hence the unusual and unexpected importance …

Finishing Details

The AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS is of exquisite quality, except for small details in the trunk. Unlike usual in most cars, the SLS interior has many metal coatings instead of plastic with imitation metal. Has finished the best luxury sedans, without the appearance of some of them charged with a more sporty but with fewer buttons to manipulate. Optionally some parts can be coated carbon fiber (image), which gives it a certain aspect of racing car, but it reduces the elegance.

As a tribute to the Mercedes-Benz models in the 60 and 70, the outputs of the HVAC system are round (of metal) and carry the air flow regulators in a cross (picture).

The steering wheel is flat on the bottom and has cams for raising and lowering gear. It also has several buttons from which you can handle the sound system, browser and phone. The pedals are metal with rubber inserts.

AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS. Dashboard 2010.The model has two major areas of silver with red needles. The speedometer is graduated to 360 km / h, although the car has a top speed electronically limited to 317 km / h. Between these areas lies a row of seven LEDs (image) that indicates the optimum time to shift gears, using the manual shift mode.

The implementation of SLS gives much information on other rare cars, gives the temperature of engine oil grade to grade from the engine is started cold (very rare) and oil the gears. To access this information must go to a special menu (“AMG”) of the display of the instrumentation.

As everyone knows the Class A and B are quite different, the first drop height too large and has a more conventional platform, even has hatchback, convertible and coupe, and even a four-door coupe, in its various bodies.

Now, according to coach people, AMG is working on a really wild version of the Class A, which will be extracted from a 320 hp two-liter direct injection with supercharging by an electrically driven compressor provided by the manufacturer Hyprex.

Besides bringing us a gearbox double-clutch AWD “pulled back”, his name would be something like A25 AMG, I truly believe that we must wait long for confirmation of this rumor, although not the first time you hear , So it has come to our attention, hopefully things will soon clear up.

Testing the Mercedes ML 280 CDI, and tests.
Mercedes ML 280 CDI, the espri 4X4.
Your neighbors will certainly notice if you buy a Mercedes ML 280 CDI.

Looks and divided opinions, but we expect that the Mercedes ML has more to offer than turning heads for watching. Read the full review.

1. Design 8 / 10
The Mercedes ML is a strong statement – and unsurprisingly split opinions within the office. Whether for his pumped-up look with 20-inch alloys, dual chrome rectangular exhaust pipes, wheel arches huge, roof rails, grille and sporty dynamic squat is a matter of taste. We drove a black model and it is no doubt that she turns heads admirers and detractors. If you are looking for something to “bad-boy” 4X4 end of the spectrum they do not come much nastier than that.

2. Look inside 8 / 10
black plastic, black leather seats, black interior and roof glass ensure that privacy If you liked Mercedes ML outside the interior is likely to tick all the boxes to the right too. The information display and center console are positively conservative compared to the rest of the air in the car, but are simple to understand and use.

The seats are nicely molded and very comfortable – and coupled to an adjustable steering wheel height and reach, it is easy to find a good driving position. We undertook two trips of four hours during our one-week loan and both front and rear passengers have been left without harm. Read the rest of this entry »

one of Mercedes’ Smart sport utility vehicles. It was a very pleasant experience, and has continued to improve with each of the 800-mile test, we added during the test a week under very pressure.

While the M-Class offers a capacity of first-order all-terrain – Thanks to a reader full-time four-wheel and the state of the art 4ETS traction system – it is primarily intended for use on road and as such complies with all standards expected of a passenger car Mercedes-Benz. It is a great way of driving comfort on the road, especially over long distances. Read the rest of this entry »
