  • Mercedes-AMG vehicles benefit from expanded range of engines

    2018 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Mercedes-Benz expands the features of the E-Class range with new petrol and diesel power units. This means that Mercedes-AMG E 53 4MATIC Plus Coupe and Cabriolet, along with CLS 53 4MATIC Plus would feature new systems and engineering additions that would add kick to the overall great performance rates and power output measurements.

    The 53s would feature a 3.0-liter biturbo in-line six-cylinder petrol unit that incorporates brand’s latest EQ Boost technology. Furthermore, the power unit is capable of producing 435hp and 520Nm of torque and a neat addition of 20hp and 250Nm when EQ Boost function is engaged. With such capabilities, the Coupe would chase electronically limited top speed of 280km/h and will sprint from 0 to 100km/h in mere 4.4 seconds. Sweet!

    2018 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Cabriolet

    On the other hand, CLS 53 version can travel from 0 to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds and also chase the top speed of 280km/h, which is also electronically limited to these amounts. Also, we consider it incredibly generous to include AMG Speedshipft TCT 9G gearbox system to all models as standard – as you know, this transmission features super short shift times, fast response and comes with shift paddles. Sweet!

All this is covered with unusual white finish ad some additional small detailings. The front face features an AMG radiator grille, AMG bumper, large air intakest and the usual for Mercedes-Benz headlamp design, idicators LED lamps.

    What has caught our attention is the roof. It is no longer spot-welded, but connected to the body by laser welding.

  • Inden Design strikes again: here is team’s depiction of a mighty Mercedes-AMG machine!

    2017 Inden Design Mercedes-AMG C 63 Black Series Joe Inden and his team of magicians strike again! Inden Design proudly showcases its latest project: a heavily revised 2015 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe Edition 507 that is now part of tuner’s Black Series. We have much to discuss about this badass, so we’d better waste no more time!

    First of all, the original Mercedes-AMG was completely dismanteled and has undergone a rather comprehensive inner revision. There were new KW coil-over-suspension Club Sport pack and exclusive original Black Series side skirts and body parts. Of course, the engineering team proceeded further with internal tweaks and adds revised front and rear bumpers, side sills and a pretty neat AMG Black Series original hood. Badass to the bone.

    2017 Inden Design Mercedes-AMG C 63 Black Series

    Long story short, we see a rather menacing beast: the best part of all is that the well-known and beloved Mercedes-AMG lines and curves are present, but at the same time are further enhanced and make the overall stance far more muscular and menacing. And let’s admit it: these widened bumpers are just out of this planet. And all of this is topped with massive one-piece BBS-F1 light alloys in 8,75Jx19 with 245/35R19 Michelin Sport on the front and in 12,0Jx19 with 305/30R19 on the rear axle.
