Mercedes-Benz will be pulling the sheets off of its much-anticipated SLS AMG Gullwing at the Frankfurt Motor Show tomorrow. Not that there’s a whole lot of point to being there to see the car in the flesh. The company has rolled out a bevy of photos and video to showcase the great-grandson of the delicious [...]
It’s been a good week for long-roof fans so far. Things kicked off with GM-honcho Fritz Henderson hinting we may eventually see a V version of the CTS Sport Wagon headed our way by the end of next year. We all know that means the supercharged LSA from the current CTS V, complete with its [...]
Recollect that sweet shooting-brake the boys and girls at MB showed off at last year’s Paris Auto Show? The “Concept Fascination” had us hook, line and sinker with its sexy E-Class curves and a beautiful, low roof line. Word from CAR is that the Silver Arrow is currently working on a real-world version of the [...]
The Fiends over at Avus must have a secret army of Umpa Lumpas. It’s the only way the company could churn out the Matte Black Audi A5 TDI and this bad ass sedan in such a short period of time. The German tuner has set its wrenches on Mercedes-Benz’s vicious C63 AMG and squeezed 585 [...]
Speaking of potent sedans, Mercedes-Benz has rolled out a new trailer for its S 63 and S 65 AMG sedans. Both of the cars pack serious gusto, with the “baby” S 63 boasting a 6.3-liter with 518 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the S 65 rocks a more potent 6.5-liter V12 packing 604 [...]

Mercedes-Benz has been hard at work on the successor to the legendary Gullwing name, but it looks like someone else is keen on creating a modern interpretation of the car. Arturo Alonso has just rolled out his own, modern take on the classic Merc. So far there’s only a few renderings to go by, but [...]
Random? You bet. Last night, a gent calls about my ad on Craigslist for the Mark III. I’m stunned. He says he loves the car and has a few rides that he might be interested in trading for the Lincoln. Never one to turn away new-to-me tin, I listen to what he has to say. [...]
The boys and girls at Merc have taken a different approach to testing the new SLS AMG Gullwing. Instead of stealing the hot new ride away to clandestine locations in the night and avoiding spy photographers like the plague, the company has released a slew of images and videos detailing testing. Of course, the car [...]
If you’ve hung around here long enough, you know we’ve got a soft spot for torturing passengers. I think it reminds me just a little too much of high school shenanigans. The video after the jump shows former F1 champ Damon Hill flogging the snot out of Merc’s SL55 AMG. And by flogging we mean [...]
Secret time, Fiends. See, like most of the other demented fools around here, I’ve got a wagon bent. There’s just something awesome about them. That’s not the secret though. When I was in school I knew a girl with an old turbo diesel Mercedes-Benz. She got the car for a song from a family friend, [...]
