Yesterday saw Zach’s answer to our first ever QFTW. You remember — the one where we asked what car is currently on sale that you would buy and hang onto for the next 30 years? If not more? And Zach answered pretty wisely — the Caddy CTS-V. Hard to argue with 500+ hp four-doors. Unless [...]

We’re not entirely sure where to even start on this humdinger, but those of you that can remember back further than two weeks (not I) will recall Project Alligator, the absurdly named collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin. Back then, details were sketchy. Today, thanks to CAR UK, they are a little less so. Essentially, [...]

Everybody likes overpowered Benzes. And why not? They’re aggresive, crude and adhere to John DeLorean’s thoery of the muscle car: Cram a really big engine into a smaller chassis. Or in the case of the S65 AMG, cram a gigantic twin-turbo V12 into the biggest car you got. It’s true that you can’t get a [...]

The following probably makes me weirder than you, but it also explains a lot: I’m really puzzled as to how the McMerc SLR will be remembered. It’s an insanely potent beast, essentially exactly as quick as the already historic and lust-worthy Porsche Carerra GT. In fact, according to the Stig, the McMerc is actually quicker [...]

Here’s a mythical beasty in the making. Autobild.de, or as I like to call them, “Adventures in Babelfish,” caught some more pics of the new AMG Gullwing. As the car is three years away, all anyone knows for sure is rumor and speculation. But, here’s our understanding of what the car just might be like. [...]

Ever since Ford sold off the top jewel in their PAG crown, Aston Martin’s man about town — Dr. Ulrich Bez — has been saying some funny things. You have to read between the lines to hear them (and as an unrepentant Aston-phile I pay closer attention than most) but when Aston Martin’s CEO says, [...]

Hells yeah, at least according to Dieter Zetsche, CEO of Daimler. If anyone should know, it’s that guy, and he says the trend toward smaller, more fuel efficient cars lends itself to the arrival of the smaller Silver Arrows. Looks like the 1-Series may have some competition in the upscale compact market as A and [...]

The Silver Arrow has announced that it intends to up its ownership of McLaren from the current 40 percent stake in the race team. Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team chief executive, said that Benz’s announcement was more of a reassurance of commitment to the team than anything else. Still, a larger stake in the team equates [...]

We told you the gas crisis wasn’t a bad thing. In light of ever stricter emissions standards, Mercedes-Benz has announced that every model they make will be turbocharged by 2010, at the latest. That means smaller, lighter engines that produce as much, if not more power than their current counterparts. In most cases, that will [...]

The Silver Arrow has unveiled a new level of sexy to tide us over ‘till the SLC Gullwing arrives in 2011 — meet the SL65 AMG Black Series. Powered by a 661 horsepower, 738 lb-ft of torque twin-turbo V12, the SL65 weighs a full 550 pounds less than the SL600 it’s derived from (though it’s [...]
