Inden Design Challenge the SLS AMG Gullwing

The 1954 Mercedes Benz SL 300 is an icon. Back then it was the first street car ever to feature direct fuel injection. Because of that it was also the fastest. It performed with poise and grace and it looked like supermodel. Today AMG have done a good job to commemorate it with the SLS but being Mercedes Benz descendants, one would imagine that the would do so naturally.

However, now Inden Design have dared to intervene and try to improve upon the SLS itself. AMG have already fitted a 6.2-liter V8 which develops 571 hp and 650 Nm of torque but by fine tuning the software and replacing some exhaust modules, Inden have managed to add 52 hp more making a total of 623 hp. Most likely the standard wheels wont be happy about the new found power so they have been replaced as well. Now “The Flyer “ (that is how Inden have named their project) wears four 20 inch wheels dimensioned 265/30 on the front axle and 290/30 at the back

INDEN design is a tuning house for performance cars such as Mercedes and Ferrari and is situated in Rennerod, Germany.

Celebrities and Mercedes-Benz [part 2]

Nicole Scherzinger and Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG

Nicole Scherzinger drives the exceptional Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG. This sport car is dynamic and full of emotion (I bet Nicole is too), and all this is because of the AMG 8-cylinder engine with larger displacement. The effect is the development of the whole 525 hp (386 kW) and torque of 630 Nm (465 lb-ft). The AMG SPEEDSHIFT delivers its innovative 7-speed sports transmission, with which Miss Scherzinger won’t be late for any concert! Nicole’s taste is a great one and obviously she is into cars, which combine the sportiness and spontaneity of a manual gearbox with the comfort of an automatic transmission. This will undeniably ensure that she got all the driving a pleasure! Oh and not to forget the price of the car: it costs around $133000.

Denise Richards and Mercedes-Benz GL450

The ex-wife of Charlie Sheen obviously has admirations for bigger cars. She has paid for this beautiful SUV the amount of $80000. For this sum she got one of the best-looking SUV that Mercedes builds. Moreover this car has the luxury V-8 with three rows of seating. However we give an advice to the superstar, which is to look forward to the future with more ”eco”-eyes. This is very easily achievable, because Mercedes offers a very smart diesel – GL320 BlueTec. With it Denise will have the opportunity to show that she cares for the environmental well-being of the planet, just like her colleague – Christina Applegate (for more information see part 1 of the article).

Patrick Dempsey

The next celebrity that caught our attention is the movie star from Grey’s Anatomy – Patrick Dempsey. He has not only one, but two vehicles caring the brand of Mercedes-Benz. We are absolutely sure that he enjoy every summer driving his retro convertible, which adds more to his fabulous status! Unfortunately, he has kept the details about the price for himself. Moreover, he not only got the pleasure to drive this cabriolet, but also enjoys driving another Mercedes car. And this is Mercedes SLS AMG. Here, this “joy” has cost him the amount of $200000. And compared to Eddie Murphy we must confirm that he is more into sport type of vehicles. We also have to highlight the unique design of the automobile (see the Gullwing doors), and to mention the 6.3 V8-powered AMG engine (420 kW/571 hp) that this lovely car has! Applauses for Dempsey!

Gerard Butler and Mercedes-Benz S400 HYBRID

Even the Scottish star enjoys driving a Mercedes, and more importantly – a special one! This is Mercedes-Benz S400 HYBRID – the ultimate combination of eco and luxury car! The vehicle is also special because it is the first hybrid from Mercedes. Butler has paid for this environmental-friendly car the sum of $90000. And if you wonder about the engine in this S-Class Sedan, it is being powered by a hybrid system with a 3.5-liter V6 gas one. The high–power profile of Mercedes is maintained exactly by this hybrid system. In addition the electric-gas combo delivers a total output of 295 horsepower (217 kW), which are channeled through a 7-speed automatic transmission. Definitely Mr. Butler got our admirations for this “green” ride!

Celebrities and Mercedes-Benz

If you have always wondered about the celebrities who drive your favorite vehicle, here you can have a glance at four of the well known super-stars. Not surprisingly they have chosen Mercedes-Benz as their transportation method, but this choice may speak about their personalities as well. Let’s have a sneak peak:

Pharrel Williams and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

This beautiful car costs Pharrel Williams the amount of $455,000. What’s so special about the vehicle is that it has the impressive supercharged 5.5L V8 engine. The top speed of the car goes to 207 km/h and without a doubt we can affirm that the front man of N.E.R.D loves to drive it around Virginia Beach. This special car definitely expresses the unique style of the co-creator of the fashion lines Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. Unquestioningly this unique combination of Mercedes-Benz and its Formula 1 partner McLaren can impress everyone with unique pioneering developments, very high performance and also with big levels of safety and practicality. For sure the celebrity counts on good style and security!

Megan Fox and Mercedes-Benz G550

The Super star Megan Fox was very recently spotted with her Mercedes-Benz G550. You probably have ever believed that this square and edgy design of the Mercedes G-Wagon will be more appealing for the gentleman. Well, Megan Fox proves it wrong! Not only is she one of the sexiest women in the world, but as seen – she is a tough lady who likes “tough” cars! Mercedes-Benz G550 is very special 4×4 vehicle and it costs approximately $110 000. The 2010 G-Class line includes the V8-powered G550 and the high-performance G55 AMG. They will ensure that Miss Fox won’t be late for any movie shot! The beautiful celebrity not only has a good taste for a balanced off-road car, but also her choice speaks for a search of sumptuous on-road comfort. Well done Megan!

Eddie Murphy and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Fantastic car! And it cost Mr. Murphy only the amount of $190 000. This luxury grand tourer automobile is the first Mercedes automobile designed in-house by AMG. And obviously Eddy Murphy is up to date with the innovations unlike Pharrel Williams. If you wonder why, it is confirmed that this is model to replace Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Don’t envy Pharel! This sport automobile is extremely exciting. Not only it has unique design – see the Gullwing doors, but also it is equipped with 6.2 V8-powered AMG (420 kW/571 hp )!

Christina Applegate and Mercedes-Benz GL 320

Why not going to yoga with your new Mercedes-Benz GL? Well, this is what Christina Applegate does, and she does it very well! Driving this full-size crossover SUV costs the celebrity the sum of $ 80 000. Obviously she can afford a personal trainer, but the pleasure of driving a GL-Class is irreplaceable. GL-class offers a high-quality interior, but the eco-friendly superstar probably had chosen it because of the fuel-efficient diesel engine. Moreover, the driving of the vehicle feels more like a car than a truck-based SUV. And most importantly don’t forget that this spectacular automobile is a worthy heir of the G-Class … only the cabin is a bit refined.

The cost of these 54PS and 30Nm is really high – more than €8000.
