Jaguar vs. Chicken or Cat vs. Mercedes-Benz [VIDEO]

Do you remember the chicken add from Mercedes-Benz? Then you’re going to love this witty response by Jaguar! Mercedes undoubtedly impressed us with the commercial of its MAGIC BODY CONTROL. The spot even served as an inspiration for other ads of products that do not relate to the automotive market.

Now Jaguar’s creative department has gone even further with a brilliant parody of the dancing chickens. The main difference between both videos however is that in Jaguar’s ad is involved a big cat. It seems that the latter brand is more interested in “cat-like reflexes”.

MAGIC BODY CONTROL is an active suspension which can deal with any situation and is based on the Active Body Control suspension. In fact, it features an active suspension that improves both comfort and driving dynamics. So the creatives at Mercedes-Benz decided to make the very artistic dancing chicken advertisement. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth it to see how the British brand chaffs with this marketing concept.

Kahn Maybach 57 S In The Bargain Bin

Kahn-Maybach-57-S-shadow Kahn-Maybach-57-S-medium Have you ever tried to decipher The Maybach 57 S? The number 57 stands for the total length of the luxury leviathan in decimetres (570 cm or approx 224 inches). It serves as a comprehensive distinction from the Maybach 62 which… well, you do the math. What about the S? Being a Daimler brand, you’d think it’s a reference to the S-Class, but it isn’t. S stands for “Special” and by extension it implies a 6.0-liter V12 engine as opposed to a 5.5 one.

What happens when we add “Kahn” to the equation? Not much, actually. There are, of course, 22-inch silver platinum Kahn RS-XF alloy wheels with the original Maybach center caps preserved – they are adding a dash of luxury surely. There’s also a Khan lowering module for which we see no apparent reason. It’s not like you are going to take it to a track day despite the impressive 620 hp output and 4.9 second 60 mph sprint. It will be like trying to powerslide a cruise liner. Nothing else seems out of the ordinary

The biggest news, however, is that Kahn are putting it up for grabs. Since 2007 it has done 67,721 nautical miles (kidding, not nautical) and it is very, very well equipped, they ensures us. There’s supposed to be a rear seat entertainment pack, a reversing camera, radar-guided cruise control and tons of more gadgets. The price? £89,875 or $146,254. Not bad when you consider that a new one costs around $585,828.

Bargain of the year?

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class With On-Screen Debut [VIDEO]

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 is the first of the new-generation S-Class model line which hits the U.S. showrooms today. In addition, it makes an on-screen debut as a part of an integrated marketing launch.

The vehicle is undoubtedly a benchmark in the luxury sedans, but it also adds many exclusive features such as hot-stone massage and at the same time provides one of the most sophisticated accident-avoidance technologies.

The marketing campaign includes two TV spots. The first one is called “Four Words” and it explores the origins of the company’s storied tagline “The Best or Nothing”. The video goes back in time through the 127-year history of Mercedes-Benz, and begins with the Gottlieb Daimler’s garage, where the very first automobile was made.

The advertisement then reviews the historic Silver Arrow race cars inside the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, and more importantly, the ad conveys how those four simple words written by the founder have challenged Mercedes-Benz to “inspire, provoke and push”. The end of the ad shows the new 2014 S-Class as the logical development of the entire history and philosophy of the brand.

httpv://youtu.be/AHvwMA7h6bg

The second advertisement is named “Control” and it illustrates what makes the S-Class driving experience “a new era of innovation”. The video shows a nighttime drive through the city and introduces features such as hot stone massage, interior lighting available in seven colors and a cabin fragrance system.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a vehicle which brings new levels of luxury, technology and safety to market. The interior of the car includes heated armrests ionized air purification via the Air Balance Package, First Class rear-seat luxury and a Burmester sound system.

Its sophisticated exterior design is complemented by an intelligent suspension system, named Magic Body Control that sees the road ahead and adjusts the suspension accordingly. In terms of safety technologies, Mercedes-Benz offers more than 30 standard and optional active and passive features.

An example for one of them is the Driver Assistance Package, which includes the following: DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist, PRE-SAFE Brake, PRE-SAFE PLUS, BAS PLUS with Cross Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Protection. Other Intelligent Drive safety features include Attention Assist and Night View Assist Plus with human and animal detection.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a starting price of $92,900 USD.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class: Magic Body Control [VIDEO]

The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has made its debut a few weeks ago and now the luxury brand is beginning its advertising campaign. On its YouTube Channel, called MercedesBenzTV, it has released a very creative video which promotes the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive MAGIC BODY CONTROL found in the new S-Class. This is a world’s first suspension system which ensures optimum driving comfort by using “eyes”.

ROAD SURFACE SCAN technology detects road surface’s undulations in advance by the means of the stereo camera in the windscreen. Then the MAGIC BODY CONTROL sets up the active suspension in order to deal with the situation. This new technology is based on the ABC (Active Body Control) suspension and includes an active suspension that enhances both comfort and driving dynamics.

The new advertisement however, does not show the S-Class, but surprisingly – it is all about chickens. And to be honest, it is one of the most creative and eccentric ads I have ever seen! I’m sure that everyone will love it and it is undoubtedly worth the attention. You can view the video below:

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Fully Revealed!

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been finally fully revealed showing its incomparable characteristics, exceptional attributes and full capability of luxury and style. The brand relies here in three engineering priorities “Intelligent Drive”, “Efficient Technology” and “Essence of Luxury”. This simply means that the 2014 S-Class extends the boundaries of technology on many levels.

Perfection to the last detail and the pursuit of the bet results in motto – “The Essence of Luxury” seen very prominently thorough the interior. There, new ideas are fully expressed whether it is the seats or the air conditioning, the controls or the design, the infotainment or the comfort and safety in the rear.

The safety features included in this new Mercedes-Benz refer to the motto “Intelligent Drive”. A wide range of new systems makes the new S-Class even more comfortable and safer. In addition, the model-Class offer great efficiency and improved fuel consumption in the 150 kW output category to 64.2 mpg, for instance.

In terms of exterior design some changes have been applied. They start with the radiator grille which is now larger and continue with the more upright and distinctly three-dimensional design of the body. With its long bonnet, the flowing, domed roof line and the gently slanting rear end, the S-Class looks prestigious, sporty and powerful.

The slightly slanting form of the model delivers also aerodynamic advantages. In addition, the highlights are in new-style: the tail lights are completely encased by the car body. LED technology is included, however in a single light bulb.

LED lights are included in the interior as well delivering more comfort to it. Visibility is enhanced by two assistance systems that have undergone some key improvements – Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus and Night View Assist Plus.

More importantly, the drive system offers class-leading efficiency in every output category. The 2014 S-Class line-up includes two hybrid versions, a petrol model and a diesel variant: S 400 HYBRID, S 500, S 350 BlueTEC and S 300 BlueTEC HYBRID, respectively.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class model data:

Acceleration 0-62 mph (s)	6.8	4.8	6.8	7.6
Top speed (mph)	155	155	155	148

Moreover, the new S-Class is the first vehicle on Earth which will be able to detect bumps on the road ahead thanks to the ROAD SURFACE SCAN Technology. It detects unevenness by means of the stereo camera. Then the MAGIC BODY CONTROL sets up the suspension and manages the situation. Standard equipment for the new S-Class includes the continuously operating Adaptive Damping System ADS PLUS and an enhanced version of the full air suspension system AIRMATIC.

To go further into details, the body of the car offers maximum stability and high-quality lightweight design, high level of crash safety, excellent rigidity and extremely low levels of noise and vibration. The bodyshell is made of a third-generation aluminium hybrid which results in lightweight construction.

In terms of safety and security, there steps in the extended PRE-SAFE® protection system.

It helps prevent collisions with pedestrians and vehicles in front in city traffic and in dangerous situations in general. In addition, there are new functions that rely on sensor system, comprising a new stereo camera together with multistage radar sensors.

To sum up, the list of new assistance systems includes the following: DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot, Brake Assist System BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, Night View Assist Plus and Attention Assist.
