Probably the biggest surprise of the Geneva Motor Show was the arrival of the Lagonda Concept. Although the revival of the Lagonda Marque had been much speculated upon, particularly with Lagonda celebrating its 100 year car making anniversary this year (an all the marketing opportunities that offers) no one had seen a super-luxo SUV on […]
Mercedes SLS Gullwing – images and news
The long awaited Mercedes Benz Gullwing, the new Mercedes Supercar, has been confirmed by Mercedes as the SLS AMG. We have firm information and images of cars testing.
Mercedes E-Class Coupe – It’s official
Mercedes is in the middle of a model designation change. As we reported when we brought you unofficial pictures of the Mercedes E-Class Coupe, it looked like the CLK range was ready for the scrapheap, to be replaced by the E-Class Coupe. Which is now confirmed, with the release of the first official images and […]
Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR – the Unique RHD versions
Update September ’09: It looks like these rare RHD Mercedes CLK-GTRs didn’t sell, and are now due to be auction by RM in October. The Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR is a rare beast indeed. In fact, it’s a fair bet that even real petrol heads won’t recognise it. But exist it does, in very small numbers (just […]
Maybach Zeppelin comes over the horizon
Maybach has not exactly been an unmitigated success for Mercedes. Conceived as a competitor for Rolls Royce, it does seem to have carved itself a niche, but probably not the one that Mercedes wanted. Perceived by most as a tarted-up S Class, and bought by the wealthy of the Playstation generation, rather than the Captains […]
Mercedes SLC Gullwing caught testing
When Mercedes and McLaren decided their road car future was not together, they went separate ways in development, but both with the aim of producing a lighter, more efficient car than the SLR. McLaren is well on the way with development of the P11 as we saw recently, and Mercedes is definitely getting close with […]
Mercedes AMG has best year ever
With car sales plummeting in 2008 (and likely to be worse in 2009) there aren’t many bright spots around. But performance saloons are certainly one of them. As we reported back in December, BMW’s M Division had a cracking year, with sales of nearly 27,000 for the year. In fact, they did so well that […]
New Mercedes E-Class Coupe spotted
There have been a variety of E-Class Coupe shots cropping up lately, but they’ve all been disguised, or pictures you’d find hard to fathom! But this picture, published by Motorpasion, shows a virtually undisguised E-Class Coupe, except for what looks like a bit of black tape on the headlights. Quite a handsome looking beast. But […]
Mercedes E Class gets AMG Pack
Mercedes quietly unveiled the 2009 Mercedes Benz E Class at Detroit. Quietly, because it wasn’t actually planned, but due to details leaking out ahead of the show, it seems Mercedes decided they may as well get the reveal over. Bigger than the last generation E Class, the new E Class gets a complete styling overhaul, […]
Now the Germans say no to Volvo
As we’ve reported in the last few weeks, Ford has been trying its best to offload Volvo, the last of its ‘Prestige’ Euro marques. The Chinese looked to be the best bet, but it seems that that is going nowhere at the moment (the Chinese are probably waiting for Ford to get in to an […]
