Mercedes-AMG Collaborate with MV Agusta for the DTM Race Car

Mercedes-AMG und MV Agusta has cooperated for this year’s DTM season. The result is this special C63 Coupe race car with one-off MV Agusta livery. In addition, it was also announced that the person behind the steering wheel and taming the racetrack will be Maximilian Götz, who also makes his debut at the DTM.

As you can see the logo of the Italian motorcycle brand “sits” on the top of the hood and the roof of the Mercedes‑AMG DTM car. The vehicle itself has been covered with many and versatile stickers and was decided in white and matt grey exterior colors underneath.

Just like MV Augusta’s logo adorns the AMG C63 DTM car, Mercedes-AMG logo will be the main glance catcher on the livery of MV Agusta F3 and F4 RC machines. The last two will enter the World Superbike and World Supersport championships and will carry German’s brand signature for the first time.

What’s common between the two brands? Well, first thing we should mention is their passion to always deliver the best. And secondly, the North Italian manufacturer is the Mercedes-Benz of the motorcycle world. It has achieved great popularity due to the advanced technology it uses and the high performance of its machines. Therefore this is a logical step for both companies to continue writing a racing history together.

Mansory with Another 1000 HP S-Class Project Called Diamond Edition

Do you remember Mansory’s 1000 hp S-Class sedan? If you do, then you will be happy to hear that the tuning brand has transformed another S-vehicle, this time a coupe. The car was on display in Geneva and gathered a lot of attention. There are reasons for this, not only due to the exuberant color, but also due to the masculine body extensions, the massive interior change and more importantly the 986 HP (725 kW) that the car can now produce. There is now no question why Mansory decided to call the vehicle Diamond Edition.

To go into details, the muscular and athletic stance of this Mercedes can be attributed to the remake that has happened to the front. This includes new LED daytime running lights and cooling air inlets as well as the lightweight hood with integrated NACA nozzles.

Next, we have to mention that both sides of the car have been widened by 50mm and this has happened with the help of the new front fender made of carbon fiber and the integrated spacers on rear ones. The sides also received modifications, but they are somewhat expectable: these are the side skirts and the carbon housing for the side mirrors.

Carbon has been featured at the back of the car, precisely in the roof spoiler, rear lip and rear bumper. Speaking of the rear we can’t skip the new sports exhaust which produces threatening sound.

This beautiful new machine couldn’t be complete without the revisions on the engine, could it? The tuner has revised the aggregate of the S 63 AMG and installed the M1000 performance Kit. The result is astounding, since the production 576 hp (430 kW) has been boosted to 985 hp (735 kW). In addition, the maximum torque has been raised up to 1,400 Nm at 1,500 – 3,500 rpm.

And if you ask about the 0-100 km/h acceleration time, we won’t hide that it is 3.2 seconds! The maximum speed is limited at 300 km/h. The nearly 1000 hp are transmitted onto the road via better 22-inches multispoke alloys that were fitted with ULTRAC SESSANTA tyres.

At last, the interior comfort has been improved due to its total transformation. Take for instance the new white-and-blue leather wrapping or the aluminium pedals, or the redesigned steering wheel. There are also more beautiful foot mats and illuminated door sill trims. Well done Mansory, well done!

Which is Women’s World Car of the Year?

If you have ever wondered what women want, well it is obviously a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The car has been voted Women’s World Car of the Year 2014 by 21 judges from various countries around the globe. Next to this award, the pretentious S-Class was named Luxury Car of the Year, too. The selected jury had to vote on 10 criteria which are said to be the most important among women. Some of them include the appearance of the car, styling and of course the ‘wow’ factor.

In other words this basically means that the car stands for everything she seeks to find in a vehicle. Of course, there are other factors that have lead to this award and they include the great safety characteristics as well as the quality and comfort of the model.

And if you consider buying an S-Class as a present for your dearest lady, then you should know that the range comprises of four-, six-, eight- and twelve- cylinder engines. There are also two Hybrids and a Plug-in Hybrid.

The trims are two: SE and AMG that can be ordered in two different wheelbase options: a standard and a long one. In case there is something of Christian Grey in you, then you should definitely think of acquiring a Mercedes-Maybach or a Mercedes-Maybach Pullman.

Comfort is the other name of the S-Class. It proves it with the seven different ambient colours for its interior, the hot stone massage capability of the front seats and the perfume diffuser. Regarding the driving quality, it has been recently made even better with the introduction of Magic Body Control. The technology is capable of detecting bumps in the road ahead and then automatically corrects the suspension.

Mercedes-Benz was presented with the Awards at the Geneva Motor Show, where it has made a lot of furore with its luxury-imbued stand.

VATH Mercedes-Benz C-Class V18 has nearly 200HP to Share

VATH is a German tuning company which specializes in Mercedes-Benz transformations, if you wonder about it. Their latest modification involves a C-Class and a V18 tuning kit, which as you can expect endows the car with more power. And if your interest has grown you should definitely read further.

This kit has been applied to C180’s CGI T engine with more than 156 serial horsepower (115 kW). As a result the Mercedes is now capable of 192 hp (141 kW) and 300 Nm of optimum torque at 2,800 rpm. The maximum speed has also shifted to 230 kmph (140 mph).

No gain in power is that good without a new exhaust. Hence, the tuner decided to complement the silversih car with a sports exhaust comprising of down pipe system with 200 trimetal stainless steel cells and a two flood stainless steel axle back exhaust system with two oval end pipes.

The next thing to mention when it comes to additional power is how close the car to the ground is. Correct, there is also a VATH lowering set making the C-class more aggressive, sportier and 30mm closer to the ground.

What is more, for the sportier look also contribute the black multispoke alloys in dimensions 8.5 x 20 inches and 10 x 20 at the front and rear, respectively. Oh, did we forget to mention that there are some external tweaks. Obviously, the tuning company has decided to share its carbon front spoiler and diffuser with fins with this Mercedes. Nothing as impressive, but if you decide to have this kit on your C-Class you’ll definitely end up faster and more individual.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 Racer is Fully Revealed!

After we had a glimpse of what the Mercedes-AMG GT3 car would look like, now it is time to have a full view on it. In addition, there is some impressive data regarding its specifications. Although the famous carmaker has revealed only four pictures of the motorsports-beast we are extremely satisfied that the veil has been finally lifted. So, take a look at the gallery and tell us what you think.

The 2015 motorsport season starts in March, not literally of course, but with the start of the Geneva Motor Show, and this is where we are going to hear the V8 engine of the AMG GT3 roaring.

The car has all the necessary characteristics of a FIA GT3 racer, thus it will be eligible to compete in the race series. Spectacular design is what we can see from the photos, but what Mercedes ain’t telling us is the cutting-edge racing technology imbued in it.

Going straight to these facts, the 2015 GT3 car is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT. This means that both models have similar characteristics like the low centre of gravity, the perfectly distributed weight and wide track width. As a matter of fact, this layout is the reason of the precise cornering as well as the high lateral acceleration, exceptional agility and traction.

The design of the car is classy: the body is painted in matt designo selenite grey mango, while the large air intakes, diffuser and the rear aerofoil speak of extreme track performance. The vehicle is constructed with lightweight aluminium spaceframe, thus ensuring less weight and more aerodynamism.

Inside, the driver is protected via the carbon-fibre seat pan and the integral roll-over cage. For the purpose of weight savings the engine cover, doors, front wing, front and rear aprons, sidewalls, side skirts, diffuser, boot lid and rear aerofoil are all made from carbon-fibre.

The horsepower comes from the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine that is coupled with a six-speed sequential racing gearbox. The transmission is mounted in a transaxle configuration on the rear axle, which actually results in the perfect weight distribution. What’s left to be mentioned is the aluminium double-wishbone suspension.

The GT3 has gone through extensive testing and the company is saying that it will ship the racer to the customer teams at the end of this year.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class is FABulous Thanks to FAB Design

FAB Design knows how to make cars look just FABulous and now two Mercedes-Benz models, G55 and G63 AMG, have been lucky enough to get some improvements. Firstly, there is a power upgrade which enables the Mercedes-Benz G55 to boost 530 HP (390 kW) with a peak torque of 775 Nm (572 lb-ft) while the upgraded Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is capable of cranking out up to 620 HP (456 kW) and 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of maximum torque.

The G-class remains one of the biggest attention-grabbers among tuners. Thanks to FAB Design, the four-wheel drive luxury SUVs gain one-off bodies which are crafted out of carbon fiber components. Precisely, the improvements on the outside are comprised of bespoke front and rear spoilers, tweaked side skirts and bigger wheel arches which can take advantage of 23-inch wheels in 305/55 R23 tires.

Even though the tuner hasn’t shared any images of the interior, they confirmed that the G55 and G63 AMG benefit from Alcantara and custom leather. What is more, inside there are accentuating carbon fiber elements as well. An additional storage room is possible thanks to the special tire failure which replaces the spare wheel.

What do you think of the reworked models? Are they better than before?

I must mention that the red color of the car is the first thing that captivated my attention and I definitely like it better than company’s previous project, which involved the same model colored in yellow. Then, the next thing to capture the sight is the aero package, which gives the car unique appearance.

The kit comprises of specifically developed for the model front bumper lip, as well as hood mount and vent covers. The latter elements help the car breath easily and cool down its untamed character. At the sides, the changes continue with skirts and side vent covers, while the rear gets new diffuser.

Proper size of the rubbers and alloys is always needed when it comes to extreme cars and exquisite tuning. The wheels for this particular project were delivered by ADV.1., while the tyres are coming from Pirelli and are with low profile.

There is nothing changed in the engine, so there are no surprises. Basically this car is driven by the naturally aspirated 6.2 liter AMG V8 unit, which produces the astounding 571 hp (420 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm. These impressive numbers allow the car to sprint from standstill to 100 km/h in mere 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph).
