The scale and complexity, not to mention cost, of developing self-driving cars is causing a lot of consolidation behind the scenes. For example, Volvo has joined forces with Autoliv; BMW with Intel and Mobileye (soon to be owned by Intel); and now Mercedes-Benz has also announced it will work with...

We’ve already learned a lot about the mechanical make-up of Mercedes-AMG’s upcoming hypercar, code-named the Project One, but now the people responsible for the design of its exterior and cabin have dropped a few details. Mercedes-Benz design boss Gorden Wagener was responsible for the...

I'd like to start this review by prattling on about how this 550-horsepower super sports car can slay the toughest track set before it. I'd love to wax poetic about its relentless grip, its composure at speed, its hunkered down feel in sharp bends, and the feeling of joy it imparts to the driver as...

Regardless of where fuel prices go in the coming years, Mercedes-Benz’s future will be one skewed towards electrification. The automaker launched its new EQ sub-brand for electrified cars during last fall’s 2016 Paris auto show by unveiling the Generation EQ concept and promising 10...

Mercedes-Benz has one of the biggest lineups of any automaker on the planet. It may even be the biggest if you include the various commercial vehicles that also wear the famous three-pointed star. In the United States, the lineup isn’t as large as in other regions but there’s still a...

Mercedes-AMG is expecting another year of growth in 2017 as new, money-printing AMG vehicles reach dealerships, according to a report in Automotive News (subscription required).

Mercedes-Benz used the 2016 Paris auto show to launch a new sub-brand for electrified cars called EQ. Since then Mercedes has used the EQ Power+ name on its 2017 Formula One car and Mercedes-AMG GT concept to denote the cars’ respective hybrid powertrains, and eventually the automaker will...

Mercedes-Benz’s GLC Coupe is set to receive the full-force AMG treatment. The slinky coupe-like SUV already comes in GLC43 flavor, but our latest spy shots reveal a prototype for what’s destined to be a GLC63 Coupe. Signature AMG elements include the protruding grille, aggressive aero...

Mercedes-Benz’s Sprinter is about to undergo a redesign. The large van last received an update for 2014 but we’ll be seeing a complete overhaul this time around. Our spy shots show a test mule for the redesigned Sprinter. The tester features the body of the current generation but the...

For some, it may be considered blasphemy to do this to a Mercedes-Benz 300TE. That would be weird, though, because there isn't much special about the W124 wagon. It's a great machine, but it doesn't exactly tug at our heartstrings. The Unimog, however, does just that. So when you pair the 300TE...

Mercedes-AMG used this week’s 2017 Geneva auto show to divulge a few more details on its upcoming hypercar code-named the Project One. The car will be rolled out during September’s 2017 Frankfurt auto show as part of AMG’s 50th anniversary celebrations and is a precursor of the...

If you're going to build a ridiculously powerful station wagon, why not go all out? That's just what Mercedes-Benz has done with the latest iteration of its ultimate family/cargo/stuff hauler: The 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S. Like the E63 S sedan, the wagon derives its power from a 4.0-liter V-8 with a...

The Mercedes-AMG skunk works builds some of the hottest cars in production. AMG's GT sports car, for example, is the fastest rear-wheel-drive car around the Nürburgring, requiring just 7:10.92 to achieve the feat in GT R trim. Soon, AMG will launch a hypercar powered by a Formula One power...

Mercedes-Maybach has just launched its first SUV, though the model isn’t based on the GLS as had been expected but rather the legendary G-Class. That mystery G-Class initially thought to be a pickup has turned out to be a new open-top model for the growing Maybach family. The vehicle is...

Mercedes-AMG has signalled its intention to jump into the high-performance sedan market with the unveiling of the stunning GT sedan concept on Tuesday at the 2017 Geneva auto show. Although AMG already offers tuned versions of Mercedes-Benz sedans, the GT concept heralds a standalone four-door...

Mercedes-AMG is slowly transitioning from a tuner of Mercedes-Benz products to a standalone automaker on the same level of names like Aston Martin and Lamborghini. Its sole standalone model at present is the GT sports car but in the coming years we could see up to two more added to the lineup. One...

Its impossible not to notice that the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 has too much tire. The 225- and 245-millimeter, 19-inch Pirelli P Zero rubber sticks to the road like hot Doublemint, and the standard traction control setting has a short leash anyway. Back and forth in the C43 along coastal roads, we...

Mercedes-AMG is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2017, and the Affalterbach tuner has numerous models planned to mark the milestone. The first of these was the GT C Edition 50 that we saw at the 2017 Detroit auto show. At next month’s 2017 Geneva auto show, AMG will introduce the...
