Even the Scandinavian Winter Cannot Scare the Mercedes eVan! Details here!

2018 Mercedes-Benz eVan Fans and Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts have more occasions for celebrations. The agile and versatile E-Vans have now undergone special drivetrain upgrade that make them even more endurable in extreme situations and more precisely, in winter time.

The eVito, the second-gen electric van by Mercedes-Benz has been put in the harsh atmospheric conditions of the Scandinavian Arjeplog area, where temperatures can easily reach 30 degrees below zero. The van was tested for its efficiency, handling, ergonomics and comfort under such extreme and harsh conditions. The idea behind such tests was to obtain more data about the functions of the whole software interface system, brakes, ESP and all other gadgets that might well change behavior, because of atmospheric changes.

2018 Mercedes-Benz eVan

Fitted for a so-calle inner-city delivery, trade and passenger transport, the eVito is mainly suited for big cities and urban surroundings. However, it is always better to enhance a certain vehile in order to make it more capable for all-terrain use. And as we talk about fine-tuning and tests, we should also mention that the battery capacity of 41.4kWh is capable to reach a total range of 150km/h.

Of course, the team has also given some attention to the driver and passengers themselves. The van is further enhanced with numerous cabin gadgets that ensure comfortable and smooth ride. And this is why the engineers have worked on cabin heating and window heating. When you think about it, such trivial features must not even be mentioned, but keep in mind that we are talking about Scandinavian winter here – it might get a little cold out there.

Powerful as a Blizzard, Advanced as an AMG machine: the new G 63 Titan is Here

2018 Mercedes-AMG G Yep. Monstrous in power and appearance. As any G Class machine should be. And more precisely, as any G-Class with AMG modifications should be. The latest G 63 vehicle comes with all the confidence that usually surrounds this segment and also with all the neat goodies that both Mercedes-Benz and AMG team can deliver. So, let’s delve right in and find out what this bad boy offers to the automobile maniacs.

Exterior Design

2018 Mercedes-AMG G

As you might well have expected, this is a 100% G-Class: straight lines, sharp angles and a stance ready for battle. 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. By using this technology, engineering team has achieved more body strength and somehow more modest and straightforward design. Furthermore, there are numerous AMG-specific goodies. The new G 63 comes with flared front and rear wheel arches, distinctive trim components, new front and rear bumpers and all this is topped with 22-inch weels, perforated brake discs and sporty red brake calipers.

Interior Design

2018 Mercedes-AMG G

As it comes to the cabin, both AMG and Mercedes teams have done something exceptional. G 63 comes with completely restyled design that offers both comfort and fuctunality. For example, the revised dashboard features analogue tubes and adopts the digital Widescreen Cockpit with virtual instruments. Of course, there is this large display and all additional features that come with it. In fact, the whole cabin is straightforward and sharp-looking just like the exterior. The seats are geared with tons of convenience functions and of course, deliver pleasurable experience and safe ride.

And as some might well be surprised, the cabin is also dominated by the white color. We are used to witness mainly black C-Class machines, but this time the latest edition deciced to switch strategies. And still, the white and mainly light-colored components manage to deliver that luxurious feeling and completely resemble the whole styling concept of the vehicle.

Drivetrain system

2018 Mercedes-AMG G

The AMG G-Class is geared with a mighty 4.0-liter V8 biturbo power unit that replaces the older 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine. The new guy is capable of producing a total of 585hp (430kW) and 850Nm of torque. Sweet, isn’t it? This also means that the G 63 can speed up from zero to 100km/h in mere 4.5 seconds and chase a top speed of 220km/h.

Further under-the-hood goodies include two twin scroll turbochargers, modified pistons, revised intercooling system and of course, fresh software upgrades. And let’s not forget the special AMG Cylinder Management deactivation system: it adds to the fuel consumption and power output efficiency and wider engine speed range that now goes between 1000 and 3250rpm. Cool right?

2018 Mercedes-AMG G

This whole power is tamed by a fine-tuned AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G gearbox. It delivers super short shift times and also offers new driving modes. Drivers now can choose between the new “Sport” and “Sport Plus”, along with the usual “Slippery”, “Comfort” and “Individual”. It distributes the power to all the four wheels, thanks to the 4MATIC AWD system. Of course, we should mention all additional and exclusive AMG gadgets: AMG Ride Control Suspension with impressive off-road capabilities, AMG speed-sensitive steering and all the safety features.

VATH design and the two sexy AMGs: a tale of elegance and power

2018 VATH Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet VATH team proudly presents its latest tuning project: C-Class AMG Coupe and Cabrio machines that had undergone some exclusive and pretty elaborate tuning program. Both vehicles showcase neat combination of modest elegance and superior engine power and both of them represent what VATH and Mercedes-Benz are good at.

2018 VATH Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet

So, let’s begin with the drivetrain system and what it benefited from, shall we? First of all, both vehicles now benefit from massive horsepower increase to the astonishing 700hp (513kW) and 900Nm of torque. This also means that these bad boys now can accelerate to 100km/h in mere 3.3 seconds and chase a top speed of 340km/h. Neat!

2018 VATH Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet

Of course, all the power that is untamed is just useless. And perfectly knowing this simple fact, VATH engineers have granted both beauties with tuner’s signature high-performance brake system: the engineering wonder consists 6-piston fixed-caliper brakes with large 390mm brake discs and is further fine-tuned to deliver braking force on the front axle. What VATH team has achieved by delivering the braking ratio in this way is simple: the shortest possible braking distance is fact with both Coupe and Cabrio models.

2018 VATH Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet

Furthermore, both vehicles are lowered by with up to 40mm and both are geared with suspension kit that ensure sporty and yet smooth driving experience, thanks to the comprising oil pressure shock absorber and double-spring system.

Of course, in the usual VATH manner, both machines mark the exclusive drivetrain system upgrades with some sexy exterior and interior changes. The thing that immediately catches the eye in both vehicles are the V2-GT alloy wheels. On the other hand, both cabins welcome the driver with VATH exclusive speedometer and neat and cozy floor mats, created of heavy-duty black velour. I love these small details.

Mercedes E 400 by PIECHA Design: bald and beautiful. We like it!

2018 PIECHA Mercedes-Benz E400 Here’s what might well impress you: E 400 4MATIC T with finishing touches by PIECHA team. Already sounds good, right? So, let’s waste no time and dive into the latest project by the German tuner.

The tuning magicians have created a special program that would only serve the E-CLASS with AMG upgrade. This is what I call an exclusive upgrade scheme. All this means that the vehicle benefits from two-toned spoiler lip, racing flics over the two air intakers, new rocker panels and an electric trailer hitch.

2018 PIECHA Mercedes-Benz E400

Furthermore, there are 9.0×21-inch and 10.5×21-inch PIECHA AV4 rims, wrapped by even larger The 255/30 R 21 front tires and 295/25 R 21 rear tires. But visual changes are not the only changes made – PIECHA team has done some drivetrain fine tune and changes that altogether contribute to an overall more agile and pleasurable drive. We do talk about lowering the whole height with a total of 35mm and also adding exclusive adjustable coilover springs. The best thing is that these bad boys can be further adjusted to lower the height with additional 45mm. Cool, right?

2018 PIECHA Mercedes-Benz E400

What we do like about this whole tuning concept is that it makes a fairly unrecognizable family vehicle look simply beautiful. With all the elegant exterior touches and visual changes the vehicle instantly showcases a completely new sporty spirit. And given that the updates are only showing up for massive drivetrain upgrades, we do see the family car in a rather different light.

There can always be more: G-POWER makes the AMG GT S machine even more agile!

2017 G-POWER Mercedes-AMG GT S G-POWER team strikes again. In fact, the brand has been astonishing the motorsport world since 1971. Believe it or not, but this was year that G-POWER team showcased how a BMW machine can be modified in order to deliver incredible performance rates. 35 years later things haven’t changed that much – there are still numerous lucky Bavarian vehicles with G-POWER upgrades, along with some neat Mercedes-AMG tunings that impress even the sceptics. However, the latest G-POWER tuning project appears to be a special one. This time the chosen vehicle is an AMG GT S (C190) sports car. So, let’s take a closer look at it, shall we?

2017 G-POWER Mercedes-AMG GT S

First of all, the C190 received a special G-POWER Bi-Tronik 5 power module. This little gadget boosts the overall power output to a maximum of 610hp at 6,500rpm and ensures 755Nm of torque between 4,000 and 5,500rpm. Or, in other words, the Bi-Tronik 5 ensures that the AMG GT S sprints from 0 to 100km/h in mere 3.5 seconds. Cool, right?

But how does it do it? Honestly, it is some kind of rocket science. However, here’s the overall process: the gadget is connected to the factory ECU and proceeds the data from vehicle’s censors and sends it to the AMG power control unit. By doing so, the whole engine system guarantees that G-POWER’s module works in perfect harmony with the original drivetrain hardware.

2017 G-POWER Mercedes-AMG GT S

And in order to honour the massive drivetrain upgrade, G-POWER team also adds a neat exterior styling change: sweet HURRICANE RR ultra-light forged alloys. The tire/wheel combination is 9.0×20-inch with 275/30R20 tyres in front, and 10.5×21-inch wheels with 305/25R21 tyres at the rear axle. Furthermore, the wheels come in four finish choices: Jet Black, Gun Metal Grey, Stardust Silver and Diamond-cut finish. Sweet, aren’t they?

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.

Last but not least, let’s have a look at the wheel-tire-combination: The one-piece BBS-F1 light alloy rims – in 8,75Jx19 with 245/35R19 Michelin Sport on the front axle and in 12,0Jx19 with 305/30R19 on the rear axle, each with 15-mm spacer discs – are powdered in silk-matt black and the edge of the rims are finished in high-gloss red paint. Sweet.

Almost as a Batmobile: check Inden Design’s Mercedes-AMG interpretation!

2017 Inden Design Mercedes-AMG SLS - Front Angle We haven’t published much about Inden Design. So, in order to fix our mistake, we will tell you about team’s latest tuning project. Тhis is a pretty special one – not only it showcases numerous unique features, but also fulfills the dream of Joe Inden himself – the mastermind behind Inden Design.

And here it is: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG machine that now proudly takes its place among its sibling in the Black Series. As one might have expected, the vehicle has undergone some comprehensive tuning and upgrade program. First of all, the whole body was dismantled. This means that numerous Mercedes-AMG original parts were taken down, reshaped, coated and reassembled. These include the front and rear apron, hood, and fenders.

2017 Inden Design Mercedes-AMG SLS - Front

Furthermore, some of the side components were further tailored to match the overall bodywork concept and of course, to contribute to the sporty spirit of the vehicle. Overall, the design of this machine resembles all these well-known and beloved Mercedes-AMG features: neat curves, elegant lines, expressive front face, tight and sporty rear and overall confident and masculine stance. The magic of Inden Design work is hidden in the small details. All of these components add to the original appearance of the vehicle and do not try to change the nature of the vehicle. Definitely a precise and dedicated work, isn’t it?

2017 Inden Design Mercedes-AMG SLS - Side

But even these modifications were not that refined to satisfy the taste of Mr. Inden himself. And this is why he ordered some more goodies to be installed: laminated drivetrain parts, exclusive KW suspension coil springs and stainless steel exhaust. And the best of all? Kickass wheels. These are exclusive BBS-F1 with special dimensions: 10,0Jx20 with 265/30R20 on the front axle and 12,5Jx21 with 325/25R21 on the rear axle. Cool!

The only thing I personally do not like about the styling concept is the one-tone black body finish. Designers could have used some lighter patterns in order to make these sexy details stand out. However, Sexy is still sexy. Even in black coating.

2017 Inden Design Mercedes-AMG SLS - Wheel

And the best news is that there are even more upgrades done onto the drivetrain system. More precisely, on the power unit: the refined Mercedes-AMG now produces a total of 635hp (467kW). A neat upgrade from the original 571hp (420kW). Sweet.
