Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by ByDesign Motorsport

The Saudi Arabian tuning company ByDesign Motorsport had made this beautiful SLS AMG

The tuner does not give much information about the specs of the car. This SLS though has a new exhaust system with Akrapovic exhaust pipes finished with carbon fiber tips.



As the tuner states this Mercedes SLS AMG tune stage is 3 (what ever that means), but they only tell as that it has race headers and a BMC Air Filter.  Besides that the car has some nice carbon fiber details like the lip on the front spoiler and on the front air intake along the Mercedes badge



Overall the black and white color combination works very beautiful on the exterior of the SLS as well as on the interior. Inside the car is complete with black and white full leather interior.

Most Expensive Car Ever Auctioned: Juan Manuel Fangio's Mercedes W196 Sells For Record $29.6 Million

Fangio's Mercedes W196R Silver Arrow sells for $29.6 million

A classic Mercedes-Benz W196race car driven by Formula 1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio sold for 19.6 million pounds ($29.6 million) at auction in England on Friday, setting a record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction.



The 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 single-seater was driven by the five-time world champion racer when he clinched his second title in 1954. The Argentine drove the car to victories in the 1954 German and Swiss Grand Prix races.



Robert Brooks, chairman of Bonhams auctioneers, which handled the deal, called the car the most important historic Grand Prix racing car ever offered for sale.

The auction house said the steel-colored car is in a "remarkably unspoiled" condition and that its parts are believed to be complete and workable after proper preparation.

It was sold to a private buyer over the telephone at a classic cars auction in southern England's Goodwood. The price included the buyer's premium.

A 1965 Ferrari 330GT, first owned by John Lennon, fetched 359,900 pounds ($543,887) at the same auction.

2015 Mercedes-Benz SLC ?

A supposedly unofficially confirmed rumor coming from inside Mercedes-Benz has shaken the automotive industry these days. It appears that, after a close analysis, the executives have decided to apply a setback to the SLC AMG supercar, once slated to be released as series product in the second part of 2014.



The main concern is the fact this project could be too resource-consuming for the company in its current shape and therefore it was sent all the way to the development table again, to see if costs can somehow be decisively reduced for the sake of motoring enthusiasm. We feel fans don't have to worry the SLC AMG might be put to rest in the end, as the car was already given the greenlight for production some months ago. All in all, the new mid-sized hyper model baring the Star logo should be publicly revealed towards 2016, with the postponement taken into consideration.

Based on the global success of the SLS AMG, the little brother SLC is already looking to be an ace in the fleet of the Affalterbach-based firm. A more dynamic body with conventional doors and possibly two new engine choices, V6 and V8 - both of them biturbocharged, a peak output in excess of 500 hp and a complete sports ride management package from AMG are the tough arguments in the fight against the Porsche 911, the main target the SLC is aiming for.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG full review by Autocar

Mercedes' take on a hot hatch gets four-wheel drive and a punchy turbocharged motor, but is it as engaging as its bigger rear-drive brethren?

AMG, purveyors of wonderfully potent big cars, has made a wonderfully potent small one in the form of the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG.

To be precise, it delivers 355bhp from a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with a mammoth specific power output of 178bhp per litre. And the technical changes to this car run deep, which is why the A45 AMG costs near enough £40,000.

Over and above the A-class hatch on which it's based, the A45 gets a new bumper and grille at the front, which wouldn’t be significant were they not backed by an intercooler for the turbo, while there’s a secondary radiator inside a front wheelarch.



The steering knuckles are different as well, as are the anti-roll bars, springs and dampers. The electric steering’s constant-ratio rack is bespoke to the AMG too, further differentiating it from the A-class.

The gearbox is a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and here’s where the effort has really gone into making this more than just a fast A-class. It drives through Mercedes’ 4Matic system, making the A45 AMG four-wheel-drive. To that end, the multi-link rear suspension is new, while to improve weight distribution, the clutch that enables drive to the rear is mounted at the rear differential.

'Enables' drive to the rear? Er, yeah. The A45 is four-wheel drive, but only when slip occurs does it push power to the rear. The 4Matic system is designed to aid traction, rather than providie rally-replica-style permanent all-wheel drive. Does that matter? It might.

Meantime, inside, this A-class feels like an AMG ought to. The black headlining, diddy gear selector and carbonfibre-like fabric weave are neat; the red seatbelts and vent highlights we could live without. The terrific front seats are heavily adjustable and clenching yet comfortable, while the rest of the A-class package is as-you-were: respectable rear head and legroom and a big boot.

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series driven at Paul Ricard Circuit

SLS AMG GT Black Series, is the best SLS yet.

It is the fifth Black Series model yet to erupt from Affalterbach, among with C 63 AMG Coupé Black, SL65 AMG etc.



It's not at all the one we'd tap for a street drive or a road trip. In the imaginary fleet we maintain in the garages of our mind, that's exactly as it should be, since the SLS AMG GT Black Series could be the best track machine Mercedes has ever built.



Essentially a GT3 racer for the road, the SLS Black Series mates up perfectly with southern France's Circuit Paul Ricard, a fast track with two huge, open right-handers that offer textbook instruction on throttle modulation at the limits of traction.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

This may not be a Black Series... but this Black Mercedes is  more expensive that SLS AMG

The Looks

Looking at the AMG car there aren't much words to say, the SL65 is simply stunning. The rear of the car with the led lights and the double exhaust pipes  is stealing the show.  I never really liked the front of the present SL-Class generation (R231). So I would love to see the car with the R230 front and this great piece of.. rear.

Inside the thing are typical for Mercedes-Benz (especially that for Merc that costs over $200.000). The quality of materials and assembly is above any questions and there are some amazing details, like the transmission shifter

The Performance

As mentioned above SL65 is more expensive that the SLS and besides it's more expensive,  has more horsepower as well.  But less put first things first. So, this is the 2013 SL65 AMG. It has a 6.0lt V12 engine, that helped by two turbochargers,  produces 621 bhp @ 4.800rpm  and 1.000 Nm of torque. So, the numbers are extreme. And the question is if this car needs such "numbers". Mercedes says that, yes it does, because there are some customers, as they say, that want a car from the higher shelf that simply no one else can afford.  So, when Mercedes decides to make a car expensive they just put a base-price over $214.000, $8.000 more than the SLS AMG.  Which is weird because the SLS should be the car that everyone would thing that is extraordinary.

Besides the price policy the SL65 is half second slower  than the SL63 at  50 to 70mph acceleration and it is not the best Mercedes Benz ever built. And definitely is not better (not even better looking) that the 2007 SL65 Black Series.

But the truth is that this one is not trying to be the best. This car is built to look great, to impress and when asked to run fast as hell in a straight way. And at this tasks it has really only few competitors, and no one of them  can drop it's roof on a sunny day...

Dubai's abandoned Supercars

Among them a Ferrari F40, an Enzo and a Jag XJ220...

Abandoned luxury cars left at airports across the United Arab Emirates may not entirely be the fault of expats escaping tough debt laws.

 

Recent reports have highlighted high-end sports cars gathering dust at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports from panicked expats fleeing the country to avoid prison sentences for money owed.

Images of a  Ferrari Enzo, worth more than £1 million, allegedly abandoned in Dubai by a British expat have been circulated widely. He was believed to have defaulted on a loan for the supercar and fled the city to escape possible imprisonment.

Under Sharia law which is observed across the Middle East, non-payment of debt is a criminal offence. As the UAE has no bankruptcy laws, there is no protection for those slipping into debt, even accidentally.

There have been cases of foreigners being prevented from leaving the Emirates after being blacklisted for simply missing a credit card payment or bouncing a cheque.

More Abandoned Exotics...

Video: Dubai's Police Supercars Fleet...

Where do we sign up to work for the Dubai's Police...?

In the clip, we see a 426hp Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe, a 660hp V12-powered Ferrari FF and the 350km/h (218mph) Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, but that's not the entire fleet, as according to GulfNews, the dream-team of Dubai's cop cars also includes an Aston Martin One-77 (yes, one of 77 made!), a Bentley and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG!

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nC-qh0NA74]

Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Deputy Chief of Dubai Police, told the news site that the department upgraded their fleet of sports and super cars after the greatly positive response from the worldwide public when the first Lamborghinis hit the road in police-livery.

“Those cars will be used for road security in different areas of Dubai,” he said, adding that they will be dispatched to tourists arrears and won't be chasing thieves, as “Dubai is a safe oasis for residents and tourists and we want each and every one to enjoy our city.”

AMG 300E 6.0... The "Hammer" Sideways In The Rain!

The Hammer was a selectively equipped 300E impeccably tuned by AMG to include the large displacent V8 from the 560 SEC and all associated drivetrain and suspension upgrades. In August of 1987, Road & Track said it was a ''4-door that runs like a Ferrari Testarossa''.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MzqNn8kJqQ&w=8000&h=380]

In the 1980s, no other practical four-passenger provided Hammer's performance. It reached 0 to 60 in 5.0 seconds; the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

Each hammer began with a U.S. specification Mercedes 300E, stripped of all powertrain and running gear. The six-cylinder engine gave way a V8 which was originally intended for the larger 560. Then an AMG-designed DOHC setup with four vales per cylinder was installed. Optionally, AMG could bore the engine out from 5.6 to 6.0 litres to get 375 bhp and 407 ft lbs of torque.

Additionally, AMG revalved the four-speed automatic from the large Mercedes S-Class, replaced the rear subframe with a beefier one and fit the biggest M-B differential, A Gleason-Torsen (Torque Sensing) unit.

A special AMG suspension was installed with shorter springs, firmer shock absorbers, 8.0-by-17-inch alloy wheels, and Pirelli P700 tires: 215/45VR-17 front, 235/45VR-17 rear.

To reduce frontal area and improve wind resistance to 0.25 Cd a front air dam and side skirts, and a ducktail blended into the deck were included.

It's unknown just how many hammers were as each was custom ordered. This meant that the only common aspect of each car was the M117 V8, sometime with our without the DOHC 4-Valve cylinder heads.

Specification listed is for the largrest 6.0 liter Hammer which would be much faster than the 5.6 car which reached 186 mph during Road & Tracks record-breaking test.

50th Anniversary of the Mercedes Pagoda SL

Penned by designer Paul Bracq, the W113 SL had big shoes to fill: it had the incredible task of succeeding the original and instantly iconic 300 SL Gullwing. But you can't copy a legend, so Bracq designed one of his own. Straight lines replaced curves and a low-slung roof was replaced by a high top design that gave the car its nickname: the Pagoda.

All New Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG

Mercedes CLA 45 AMG: New York Auto Show 2013

Στην έκθεση αυτοκινήτου της Νέας Υόρκης  παρουσίασε η Mercedes - Benz την κορυφαία έκδοση της CLA,  με απόδοση  360 ίππων.

Η Mercedes εισάγει την  CLA 45 AMG στη Νέα Υόρκη, το πιο ισχυρό τετρακύλινδρο σε σειρά κινητήρα στον κόσμο. Ήδη, οι πρώτες φωτογραφίες διέρρευσαν.



Mercedes παρουσίασε στη Έκθεση  αυτοκινήτου της Νέας Υόρκης  2013, ένα νέο μέλος της οικογένειας AMG:

Το CLA 45 AMG,  το πιο ισχυρό κινητήρα παραγωγής τεσσάρων κυλίνδρων στον κόσμο. Το δίλιτρο turbo βγάζει έναν επιβλητικό  ήχο και αποδίδει  360hp. H μέγιστη ροπή των 450 Nm μεταφέρεται μέσω ενός  κιβωτίου ταχυτήτων διπλού συμπλέκτη AMG Shift  και στους τέσσερις τροχούς.  Οι τροχοί επενδύονται  με ζάντες 18-ιντσών και ελαστικά μεγέθους 235/40.  Η ειδική ισχύς των 181 ίππων/λίτρο είναι  τιμή απλησίαστει για έναν τετρακύλινδρο . Αντίστοιχη  της  απόδοσης του δίλιτρου μοτέρ, είναι και η  οδηγική αίσθηση που αφήνει το αυτοκίνητο. Το τετράθυρο κουπέ της Mercedes  επιταχύνει από στάση στα 100 km / h σε 4,6 δευτερόλεπτα, με την τελική ταχύτητα  που έρχεται πιο εύκολα από ότι νομίζεις, να περιορίζεται ηλεκτρονικά στα 250 χλμ/ώρα. Παράλληλα με τις κορυφαίες τιμές απόδοσης, η Mercedes υπόσχεται για   το CLA45 AMG  εξαιρετικά χαμηλή  κατανάλωση  με  μόλις 6,9 λίτρα καυσίμου ανά 100 χιλιόμετρα για τον μικτό κύκλο, επίσης, το μηχανικό σύνολο πλήρη της προδιαγραφές  του πρότυπου  Euro-6.

Ένας προφυλακτήρας με διαχύτη κα ι δύο διπλές χρωμιωμένες απολήξεις της εξάτμισής  κοσμεί το πίσω μέρος.



Η νέα CLA45 AMG  διαθέτει  τρεις επιλογές ρύθμισης των  οδικών της χαρακτηριστικών.  Στην ρύθμιση  "Μ" (βραχυπρόθεσμο πρόγραμμα για  πλήρη δυναμική οδήγηση) και η "S" είναι οι σπορ  επιλογές, η δε  "C" (Controlled Efficiency) προδιαθέτει για πιο ήρεμη οδήγηση με  απαλότητα στις αλλαγές από την  μετάδοση και τον κινητήρα, προσαρμοσμένη την ανάρτηση στην άνεση και την μείωση της κατανάλωσης κατά την οδήγηση με το start-stop να  ενεργοποιείται. Χρησιμοποιώντας τριών σταδίων ESP, ο οδηγός μπορεί να μετατρέπει των χαρακτήρα και τα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά  της CLA 45 AMG  με το πάτημα ενός κουμπιού.

Η εσωτερική εικόνα της CLA45AMG, ξεχωρίζει από της απλές  εκδόσης, χάρη στα σπορ bucket καθίσματα με το σφιχτό "κούμπωμα" του σώματος και τις  κόκκινες ζώνες, προκειμένου να μένεις πάντα στην θέση σου στις στροφές . Φυσικά, από το εσωτερικό του αυτοκινήτου δεν λείπουν τα  διακριτικά της AMG.  Το εσωτερικό συμπληρώνεται με  εφαρμογές σε στυλ  άνθρακα και το πολυλειτουργικό σπορ τιμόνι με χειριστήρια αλλαγής ταχυτήτων και τον πίνακα οργάνων AMG.  Εξωτερικά νέος είναι τόσο, ο πίσω προφυλακτήρας  με  διαχύτη και  τις 2 διπλές απολήξεις της εξάτμισης, όσο   και  ο εμπρός προφυλακτήρα. Την εικόνα εξωτερικά ολοκληρώνουν οι μεγαλύτερες πλαϊνές ποδιές καθώς και τα διακριτικά γράμματα AMG περιμετρικά του αμαξώματος. Τα διακριτικά πίσω φώτα σε τεχνολογία LED είναι επίσης στον στάνταρ εξοπλισμό, όπως οι  προβολείς xenon.   Η λίστα με τις επιλογές είναι ατελείωτη και δίνει την δυνατότητα να ξοδέψεις, σχεδόν όσο είναι  το κόστος του αυτοκινήτου σε αξεσουάρ.  Όποιος  τελικά αποφασίσει να προχωρήσει  στην αγορά μιας Mercedes CLA45 AMG , στην "βασική" έκδοση... θα πρέπει να είναι έτοιμος να καταθέσει τουλάχιστον € 56.079, τιμή του μοντέλου στην Γερμανία...

Χαρακτηριστικά να αναφέρουμε μόνο ότι το μοτέρ της C63 AMG Black Series είναι μια de-tuned έκδοση του κινητήρα που φοράει η απίστευτη SLS AMG. Απολαύστε το video!
