Images on German website Merkur Online capture firefighters dousing a two-week old S-Class luxury sedan, which caught fire in Rottach-Egern, south of Munich. ALSO SEE: Man Makes Car With... Expanding Foam? The cause of the fire is still unknown, but the 100,000 euro car (around $138,000) is a total loss. The damage is extensive--a huge...

    Maybach Apparently Not Down For The (Expensive) Count

    Remember the Maybach? You should, since it only went away in 2012. The ultra-luxe arm of Mercedes-Benz never quite hit the sales numbers it was shooting for. In its ten year run, just over 3,000 units found their way into presumably high-end garages. Automakers like Bentley and Rolls-Royce can now...

  • Mercedes-Maybach S-Class spy shots

    Mercedes-Benz might attach a Maybach badge to a stretched version of its S-Class currently in development and set to serve as the replacement for Maybach’s own 57 and 62 sedans. Though the stretched S-Class was originally thought to use the Pullman name, a name used on previous generations of the Mercedes-Benz flagship sedan, a new report suggests the Maybach name may get the nod instead. Citing an anonymous source, Car and Driver is reporting that the stretched S-Class will be called a Mercedes Maybach. The magazine goes further and reports that Mercedes Maybach may be turned into a...

Today, we have new spy shots of a prototype for the high-performance AMG variant, which should join the regular model in showrooms in the second half of next year, as a 2015 model.

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4MATIC

    The Mercedes-Benz S Class is all new this year, and with it, we get an all-new S63 AMG with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. If there is such a thing as diamond icing on a platinum cake, this is it. First things first: this isn't a driver's car, at least not in the way a BMW M3, or a Ferrari 458 Italia, or even a Cadillac ATS is. This is a car to be driven around in. At triple-digit speeds. Like a boss. Not like a Seth Rogen/Andy Samberg "boss", either. Like a Fortune 100 chief exec. Like a head of state. Like Lucifer on a top-side vacation. Luxurious and fast doesn't even begin to describe the S...
