Mercedes-Maybach S-Class cars a probably the most luxurious ones currently offered on the market. Since the people utilizing them as a transportation method are among the minimal percent that requires maximum protection, Mercedes has made their choice of ultra-luxurious and expensive vehicle much easier. Low and behold the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard! This “car” is more a military machine, because it features special protection and is certified with the highest ballistic protection level VR10… for civilian vehicles. To translate this into a more understandable language, this means that the S600 Guard can withstand hardened steel core bullets fired from an assault rifle.
What is more, part of the protection concept is that it is very hard to distinguish the armored version of the Maybach from its series-produced counterpart. The vehicle also has an ERV 2010 rating, which stands for Explosive Resistant Vehicles.

The key advantages of the armoring done here include the following: excellent strength and stability due to the reinforced base structure, as well as the high level of comfort due to the integration and intelligent overlapping of all protective elements.
Protective components made of special steel are integrated into the cavities between the body structure and the outer skin. In addition, the intelligent overlapping systems at particularly critical points, such as material transitions deliver comprehensive ballistic protection. The windows are a fixed and made of appropriate materials and thicknesses. They have been too coated with polycarbonate on the inside for splinter protection. Protection against explosive devices is ensured via the underbody armoring, which covers the underbody under the occupant compartment.
The other benefits of the Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Guard include that it can be ordered as an eight-cylinder (long-wheelbase S500) and as a twelve-cylinder (long-wheelbase S600). The “car” is huge with its 5453 mm length and a wheelbase of 3365 mm. In addition, other changes are minor and include for instance the repositioning of the rear seats further back, which adds to the sense of privacy. The standard equipment already features executive seats on both left and right, and innovative voice amplification.
Congrats to those purchasing!

Vorsteiner has finally released their latest project and first for the 2016 year. It is based on the strong and beautiful Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, which was recently updated by Mercedes in terms of visuals, but also in terms of power and torque. As a matter of fact, the latest Mercedes E63 AMG has a lot to offer with its 557 hp (410 kW) and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) in both the Limo and the T-model. What is more, the factory S version, enhanced with the AMG Performance Package, pumps out above 585 hp (430 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft).
The Dream Car Collection of Mercedes-Benz is going to be exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show and it will include brand new roadster and cabriolet models. Precisely, at the exhibit the first highlight is the C-Class Cabriolet with its classic soft top, then come the SL and the SLC as well as the E-Class that are premiered in Europe, and the Mercedes-AMG S 63 Cabriolet Edition 130.
M&D Mercedes-Benz CLS 500 Black Edition Stealth is a fresh project in midst of the Geneva Motor Show turmoil. The ‘Stealth’ CLS is dressed in camouflage colours, but this isn’t its only asset. It features also a lot more power than its standard one, and one-off optic exterior kit coming directly from Prior-Design.
The latest project of the tuning experts at Carbon Motors is based on the Mercedes-Benz E500 W124, which was released in the distant 1990. The model is iconic for Mercedes because it was produced in close collaboration with Porsche and was actually hand-built by both brands. It features only four seats and the assembly of only one car took 18 days. Another interesting fact about the E500, is that it is driven by a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine that was derived from the 500 SL R129 roadster. The unit produces 322 hp (240 kW) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque.
Finally, Mercedes-Benz SL is available for order from all Mercedes-Benz dealers. What the well-known German brand offers is incredible, provided the fact that all the standard features are now more, the optional choices are extended and all this with relatively good price. So, let’s check out what is going on here!
This is a little bit more different project that we usually show on this blog. However, it is one hundred percent worth your attention. First, because the exclusive one-off Black Crystal exterior it features, and secondly, because you haven’t seen such a luxurious interior for a while. Do you remember the Black Crystal by LARTE Design, which was revealed almost two years ago? If you do then you are getting the idea why this V-Class carries the same name.
Mercedes-Benz has made a big step with the introduction of the new E-Class. This is the tenth generation of luxury sedan and it comes with that distinct and dramatic design, blended with advanced technologies and superior levels of comfort. And along with the premiere of countless technical additions the beautiful vehicle also offers and enhanced safety and utility features. For example, Mercedes now offers new dimensions and next-gen infotainment system, along with the optional AIR BODY CONTROL air suspension that ensures smooth and pleasurable drive. So, let’s check out what more this sweetie has to offer.
It was about time for Mercedes to reveal some additional tweaks for its recently introduced SLC model. The new extra equipment is called Night Pack and it is definitely worth the look. Both the new SLC and the new styling kit will be available to order and in dealerships in the spring of 2016.
Posaidon has been very active lately (see in the link below) and this time they have sent us a very exclusive project, which again involves a Mercedes. However, what is particularly very cool about this car and what has impressed me much is that the tuning company has worked with the rare Posaidon Mercedes-AMG A45 Edition 1. The changes featured here not only involve power uprating but also feature some additional upgrades which we’ll discuss in details.
Posaidon is a young tuning company which is fond of optimizing Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This time the attention of the specialists got the Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S in their station wagon versions. Note that in the gallery below is depicted only the C63 variant. They have chosen these two, because of the potent twin-charged 4.0 liter V8 engine, which in the C63 produces 476 hp (350 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque.
The New Prince is the nick name of this Mercedes-Benz AMG GT tuned by the specialists at the Canadian studio SR Auto Group. The car looks amazing even without modifications, but in sake of individuality this car has received some minor updates. And we do not want to see more, since this AMG GT has it all.
