Mercedes-Benz News

Concept cars, green cars, electric cars--new cars. It's all coming to the 2010 Paris Auto Show at the end of this month, and High Gear Media is gearing up to bring you wall-to-wall Paris coverage starting...now. The show opens tomorrow to the media, but we've already previewed some of the dozens of...

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 made its first racing appearance at a four hour race held over the weekend at the notorious Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Sadly, despite qualifying in third place, the car was involved in an accident on the opening lap. Drivers Bernd Schneider and Thomas Jager...

We knew the Fireball Run was going to be full of surprises but no one was expecting to see a pair of prototypes turn up on the very first day. In truth, this pair of 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK prototypes wasn’t actually part of the event but just so happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong...

The current generation of the SLK roadster has served Mercedes-Benz well over its life since introduction in 2004, and like all cars its once-cutting-edge design has become somewhat tired despite a mid-cycle facelift. An all-new SLK is in the works, however, spotted on numerous occasions testing in...

Mercedes-Benz has released the first images of its 2011 model year CL65 AMG sledgehammer, revealing very subtle updates over the outgoing 2010 model and even fewer differences between it and its lesser CL63 sibling. Visually differentiating the CL65 from the CL63 are minor things like a chromed...

That's right, folks, if you're in the market for a new luxury car, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to at least consider a 2010 model Mercedes-Benz, according to Bengt Halvorson's latest Frugal Shopper column at TheCarConnection. The brand-new but superceded 2010s are sliding off dealer...

This morning Daimler released complete details on its 2011 Mercedes-Benz A-Class E-Cell, a limited production electric conversion of its aging A-Class five-door small hatchback, sold mostly in Europe and not available in the United States. The A-Class E-Cell is Daimler's second vehicle to use...

Three weeks ago Mercedes-Benz unveiled the 2012 CLS-Class ahead of its public debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, and today, we have a fresh new gallery of photos that show the car off in a much better light. Literally, the lighting is way better. Rather than the spotlight-in-a-cave shots loosed in...

Cigarette Racing's custom AMG 46' Rider would be pretty awesome in its own right even if it weren't inspired by the SLS AMG. Twin-turbo 552 cubic-inch Mercury racing engines cranking out 1,350 horsepower each have a tendency to imbue awesome on things. The knife-edge boat is capable of over 130 mph...

Lurking under the surface of some of the industry's top luxury sedans is a range of active suspension systems. Some are as simple as variable-rate anti-roll bars, others up the ante with magneto-rheological or air-ride dampers and complex electronic controls. Somewhere in the future lies...

Being the reigning Formula 1 World Champion has its perks. Like getting your hands on a one-of-twenty limited edition 520-wheel-horsepower Mercedes uber wagon, for example. Jenson Button today took delivery of his special edition Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG DR 520 Estate. The special-edition car...

Bawdy, brawny, occasionally bizarre, Brabus is one of the most famed Mercedes-Benz tuners on earth. The 2011 Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG lives up to the rep. The parts kit reads like the production schedul for a midsize carbon fiber factory, and they're all available in either clear coated or...

Its official world premiere won't come until the 2010 Paris Auto Show, but we have the first official images and details on the upcoming 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class for you fresh from under its midnight embargo. Though the timing is certainly inconvenient, the 2012 CLS-Class is anything but. As...

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS will be positioned further upmarket than the current model to make way for a smaller four-door coupe.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS will be launched late next year.

While Mercedes-Benz made a show of its own with a massive gathering of its 2010 SLS AMG sportscar, it also found a place of honor on the lawn at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with this near-perfect 1930s roadster. Shown for the first time at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show, this...

Mercedes-Benz, or more correctly, AMG, has developed a new racing version of the SLS AMG gullwing sports car built along the lines of the FIA sanctioned GT3 series. The new race is now available to order by privateer teams but first deliveries won’t start until February of next year. Anyone...

The latest generation W204 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been on sale since 2007 and is due for its mid-cycle facelift in the first half of next year. As these latest spy shots and computer generated rendering of the facelifted 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate suggest, the car’s designers...

Mercedes-Benz's last C-Class coupe, the CLC, wasn't a great success, particularly here in the U.S., in part because of its awkward styling and in part--towards the end--because it was actually based on the previous-generation car, with only minor styling tweaks to update its look. Now Mercedes-Benz...

That's a lot of luxury sedans.
