When it comes to combining performance and luxury, few do it better than Mercedes-Benz. But, if you had to pick out one car that might just do it better, it would have to be the Bentley Continental GT, a car that brings the driver to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, lets him flirt with 200 mph and does it...

Celebrities and expensive cars go hand in hand. Throw in an artsy film festival and you’ve got a Mecca for all things luxury, including diamond-studded Maybachs as we’ve already seen, and now one of the rarest cars built in recent times, the highly impractical Mercedes-McLaren SLR...

Earlier this year we brought you the first spy shots of the 2012 C63 AMG Black Series, and today we have fresh images of a moderately disguised the coupe version of the car, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series--only this time it's at the notorious Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Like...

Mercedes-Benz is already a pillar of style on the highways, why not in the airways? After all, a personal helicopter is more of a luxurious accessory than even the fanciest automobile. Mercedes-Benz Style, the design and lifestyle arm of the automaker, debuted the EC145 helicopter at the European...

Mercedes-Benz is hard at work on its next-generation S-Class flagship sedan, which is expected to bow onto the market late next year as a 2013 model. We’ve already seen countless spy shots of prototypes for the new car, which have revealed a fairly conventional sedan shape with similar...

If you like to haul the kids and, in the same car, get a bit sideways on occasion, you'll probably have to choose something besides the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E550 Sedan (2010 model pictured), because this time around it's all-wheel-drive only. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Given the...

That's right, folks, the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is no longer the only uber-wagen to be on sale this year. Mercedes-Benz is joining the party with its 2012 E63 AMG Wagon, and it's everything you'd expect. That means it's a 5.5-liter, 518-horsepower, 516-pound-foot, twin-turbo, direct-injection V-8...

Glass roof panels are becoming a popular option in modern cars. Taking the old sunroof and moonroof a step further, you can enjoy all the view you'd get in a convertible with none of the gusts of wind. The glass roof isn't without its problems though. If you live in a hot and sunny climate you'll...

File this one in the unsubstantiated rumor bin for now, but reports out Europe indicate Mercedes-Benz is working on a twin-turbo V-12 version of the G-Class for a special 200-unit limited run as the sun sets on the platform. If it is built--and that's doubtful--it would potentially mean a...

UPDATE: The new Mercedes-Benz A Class has been revealed. Click here for all the details. New images have emerged on the Web today, looking very much like official patent filings, and showing what appears to be the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Expected here in the U.S. either next year or early in 2013...

Mini-films are a favorite of the high-end luxury brands, particularly the German ones. This film skips a lot of the kitsch and awkwardness common to most of the genre and offers a nine-minute action/thriller in its place. Dubbed "Drive & Seek," the mini-movie follows a lead character as he...

Back in 2009 Mercedes-Benz launched a new telematics feature called mbrace that at the time was said to offer everything from a vehicle locator for crowded car parks, somebody to direct you if you get lost or even the ability to order online--all whilst sitting in the driver’s seat. Designed...

Mercedes-Benz was late to the telematics game, but now that its mbrace system has been available for a while, it's looking like a trailblazer, compared to systems just hitting the market--Hyundai's Blue Link, Kia's UVO and Toyota's Entune, among them. At the recent New York Auto Show, we talked...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster has been of the worst kept secrets of the year, perhaps purposely so, as we’ve not only seen barely disguised prototypes but also leaked patent drawings and even a Super Bowl ad appearance. Now Mercedes-Benz has released some preview shots of the...

Germany's own military-bred super SUV is soon to meet its end, and to celebrate the G-Class's run, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a pair of special edition models: the Edition Select and the aptly named BA3 Final Edition. The Final Edition is a short-wheel base model, while the Edition Select is long...

Concept cars as dashing as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class are often little more than design bucks, built to give the flavor of future styles, without any intent for production. The A-Class is going to production, however (albeit in much more production-spec clothing), with an AMG variant even planned...

Germany's DTM race series is coming to the U.S. in 2013, but there's no reason to wait until it gets here to enjoy the show. Especially not when the 2012 C63 AMG is the field's official safety car, shown off here in its be-lighted guise--and now with video. The previous C63 AMG was also chosen for...

According to Mercedes-Benz design chief Gorden Wagener, the lines of the stunningly good Concept A-Class revealed at the recent Shanghai and New York auto shows are virtually identical to what we’ll see on the final production version due late next year. “What you see is...

We’ve already seen plenty of spy shots of the next-generation 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class but in this latest round of shots we have a prototype fitted with the new AMG Sports Pack destined for the upcoming luxury SUV. This isn’t the high-performance 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG spied...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 is a very interesting car, and not just because it packs a new 3.5-liter V-6, a rather SLS-like nose, or a high-tech retractable hard top: it's soon to be the only manual-transmission offering in Mercedes' range. And it starts from $55,675, including destination and...
