Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet launched in India



Mercedes Benz has more for India. Indian buyers can now buy the new version E-Class sedan priced at Rs 64.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). All attempts to revamp cars and make them friendlier for Indian driving conditions is obviously being seen as an attempt to strengthen the brands domain in the Indian luxury car segment.

The E-Class is certainly a strong model with this being the 7th in its range. The abundance adds to the brands versatility giving buyers a wide range of choices including the Cabriolet, E-Class Saloon and the E- Class Coupe. Prices for E-Class cars already in the Indian auto market range between Rs 42 lakh and Rs 50 lakh.

Current data released by SIAM suggests that Mercedes Benz has left BMW behind in the race for te luxury sector. Mercedes Benz has witnessed a 79.31% increase in sales for the period of January-July as compared to last year. In all, the brand has sold 2921 cars this year for the aforementioned period.

BMW hasn’t had a decrease in sales, and have actually sold 2,718 cars but that obviously means they’re alredy trailing Mercedes Benz sales in India. Merc is manufacturing cars at Chakan, outside Pune and its production unit has a capacity of 5000 cars annually.

2010 Mercedes E-Class
































 Following tons of spy shots (Mercedes E-Class variants spied in Germany, '09 Mercedes E-Class sheds disguise, Mercedes E-Class coupe exposed in the snow, Mercedes E-Class AMG sedan spied on the Nurburgring, Next generation Mercedes E-Class spied and Mercedes CLK CoupĂ© spied in Stuttgart), Mercedes accidently posted official images of the new 2010 E-Class sedan on the German Merc website.

Based upon the Mercedes ConceptFascination, the new E-Class has grown in size (4950mm), length and width for more comfort and interior space. Safety has been a paramount consideration of course and we see that in the new impact absorbing bonnet that pops up 5cm to lessen injury to cyclists or pedestrians in a low speed collision. There's also a system that recognises potential collisions and warns through the driver's pedal that it's time to brake. In addition, top-spec UK models will receive LED day-time running lights.

Existing technologies for Mercedes like Night Vision are to be found, and new ones such as blind spot and lane departure warning. New generation diesels E200 CDI, E220 CDI and E250 CDI give the frugal potential owners plenty of choice while the E300 CDI and E350 BlueTec come into play higher up. We know there are petrol variants too including the formidable E-Class AMG which should produce around 600bhp.

The debut of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is happening at the 2009 Geneva International motorshow along with the E-Class Coupe. The E-Class Cabriolet will appear at the 2009 Frankfurt later.

Mercedes Benz CL63 AMG

The CL63 AMG, the lesser of two powerful large AMG-tuned Mercedes-Benz coupes, sits somewhere between excessive and grandiose on the scale of high-end cars. With 518 horsepower on tap at 6800 rpm, the nearly 4,500 pound two-door Mercedes-Benz is hardly sluggish, despite tipping the scales at about double what a subcompact weights. 465 pound-feet of torque from the 6.2 liter V8 and a 7-speed automatic transmission help ensure that the CL63 has ample power in any situation.

New for 2008, the CL63 upgrades the basic CL-Class, introduced for 2007, with the standard range of AMG tuned sporting cues, including a lowered sport suspension with active body control, a unique look inside and out, 20' wheels (versus 18' wheels otherwise), performance tires and a few additional standard features, like ventilated and massaging front seats.

Auto Trend Mercedes Benz AMG

Mercedes-Benz upgraded its now-legendary top-end roadsters for 2009 by giving the previous model a substantial facelift designed to reflect the German automaker’s current design philosophy.

Mercedes replaces the entry-level (or second-from-top, depending on your perspective) AMG-modified roadster, the SL 55, with a more powerful, larger-displacement SL 63. That “63” denotes the AMG-designed 6.3 liter V8 now under the hood. This motor, the first designed in-house by AMG, puts out 525 horsepower, a 10 horsepower bump from the outgoing SL 55. Torque, however, is down to 465 lb-ft. from 531. The new, naturally aspirated V8 replaces a supercharged 5.5-liter V8.

The 6.3 liter, 32-vale V8 revs up to 7,000 RPM, though AMG claims that 90 percent of peak torque can be found at just 2,000 RPM.

The SL 63 is the first Mercedes vehicle to get the all-new, AMG-developed Speedshift MCT (Multi-Clutch Transmission) seven-speed automatic transmission. It features four different shift programs: Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Manual. Unlike previous automatic transmissions, the Speedshift MCT replaces the traditional torque converter with a much faster wet start-up clutch. In Manual mode, shift times are cut to 100 miliseconds, a 50 percent decrease over Comfort mode.

A lowered ride height and stiffened suspension again set the SL 63 apart from its more mundane siblings. An optional AMG Performance Package adds ceramic front brake discs, wider rear tires, a flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters and an AMG-modified Active Body Control system.

Compared to non-AMG SLs, the SL 63 really gets the performance styling treatment. An ultra-aggressive front diffuser with multiple vents, a unique bodykit and 19 inch wheels are standard. The SL 63’s bodykit differs from the optional kit for regular SL roadsters. The metal-folding top returns and a glass top will again be an option.

Like other SLs, the SL 63 will receive new, angular headlamps to replace its dual rounded lamps from before. Those new headlamps will hide bi-Xenon bulbs said to be more powerful and efficient than LED bulbs. An Intelligent Light System offers five different settings based on different driving conditions ranging from country driving to motorway driving.

The interior is mildly revised, highlighted by a new three-spoke steering wheel and new instruments. The SLK’s Airscarf system migrates over to the smaller roadster’s big brother.

Dubai has established its status with the whole UAE earning name to be the biggest market for Mercedes –Benz with more than 114 vehicles delivered last year as compared to the previous year. Saudi Arabia continued to grow with the deliveries up over by more that 25% during the same period of time. C – Class deliveries have also gone up by over 30 % from 375 to 490.
For launching its biggest showroom and workshop for Mercedes-Benz, Abu Dhabi was chosen as the prime location. The brand new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé will hit the showrooms across the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman from July 2009, with stupendous range of options in engine.
The Director of Sales and Marketing for Mercedes-Benz cars in the Middle East, Frank Bernthaler, said,” 3,818 cars were sold across the region, a 20 per cent drop compared with the first quarter of last year. Of those, about 1,400 cars were sold in the UAE, outselling sales in all other countries in the region. We’re down in the GCC in basically all markets, But the UAE is the most important one in terms of volume, and we’re keeping our market share.”

EMC (Emirates Motor Company), Abu Dhabi’s general distributor of Mercedes-Benz and Al Ain and an auxiliary of Al Fahim Group, got 881 cars sold out in the initial three months of this year, a 15 per cent drop from the first quarter of last year, said the general manager, Irfan Tansel,.
“We were slightly down from last year but we were higher than 2007,” Tansel said. Selling of cars across the Emirates has decreased since the last year’s fourth quarter, as buyers have begun to restrict their expenditures and banks have increased requirements for minimum salary and down payments for car loans.
“People tend to have more spending power in Abu Dhabi, and at the same time, given the fact that the local economy has not been slowed down as Dubai has been, that is also reflected in the slowdown of the car business,” Laurent-Patrick Gally, a retail analyst at Shuaa Capital said.

New Mercedes service centre and showroom of Al Fahim group has over 250 work bays and covers 93,000 square metres , in sync with the positive outlook of the company, as mentioned by Rashed Al Fahim, its managing director. The group is through with its final stages of establishment of Daimler Finance, a joint venture and an esteemed project between Daimler Gargash Motors and Al Fahim Group, to arrange a provision of financing to customers.
Abu Dhabi has also invested in the German car maker. Aabar investments, an Abu Dhabi government –linked company, contracted to buy a Dh9.73 billion (US $2.64 bn) stake in Daimler that owns Mercedes-Benz. This contract in turn made Aabar, the biggest stakeholder of the company at 9.1% and is a part of the strategy of Government to develop domestic industry in partnership with popular brands of the West. Dr Schmidt said that Daimler was in dialogues with Aabar for future business enterprises, but he would not reveal the details of the timeline or projects.

Mercedes to unveil zero-emission sports cars


mercedes
Mercedes Benz are about to offer the perfect vehicle for people who like their cars to be fast, but at the same time are conscious of the environmental impact they are having by driving them.
A press release issued on Monday announced the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG electric drive; a sports car running on four electric motors producing zero emissions. The car sports a 400-volt liquid-cooled lithium ion battery that is recharged through breaking, but at the same time can power the four motors to produce a 0-62mph time of just 4.0 seconds.
Volker Mornhinweg, Chief Executive Officer of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, said:
With the SLS AMG with electric drive, we wanted to redefine the super sports car … For us, it is not just about responsibility. We attach just as much importance to excitement and classic AMG performance.
The positioning of the electric motors and two transmissions near the wheels, combined with several battery modules positioned along the center of the car, allow the SLS to have a very low center of gravity resulting in a sports car with great handling. The combined power of the motors results in 517bhp and 649lb of torque.
The new car will be unveiled in September at the Franfurt Motor Show along with the new non-electric SLS.

Matthew’s Opinion
I find it hard to believe Mercedes has made such an advance that it can produce a sports car powered by nothing other than electric motors that recharge from breaking alone. I expect further details will reveal a standard engine as a backup and further charging required from the mains between journeys.
Regardless of the questions about recharging though, managing to create a sports car running on electric motors bodes well for the future of zero-emission cars. We just need a better way of powering these cars beyond the lithium ion battery we rely on so heavily today. Replacing that with a fuel cell or similar power source will surely put electric car development into overdrive.

Mercedes SLS AMG supercar will come with 526bhp battery power as well as a V8

Mercedes SLS AMG

The new Mercedes SLS AMG supercar gets its big unveil at the Frankfurt motor show in September, and it’s set to be quite the technology fest.

As well as a 564bhp 6.2-litre V8 version there’ll be an all-electric SLS. It’s a bold move for Mercedes and AMG, but it doesn’t mean they’re belying their performance focus – power comes courtesy of four electric motors, with 526bhp and 649lb ft on tap. Those figures aren’t far short of the petrol SLS, and with thrust likely to arrive from zero revs, it’ll probably feel more powerful. The 0-62mph dash arrives in the same circa 4sec as the V8.

Those motors are cleverly applied, too. There’s one positioned beside each wheel (rather than in the hubs), reducing unsprung masses. It also means the car’s effectively all-wheel drive, with a transmission at each axle and torque vectoring sending power to the wheels that will use it best. It’ll means the electric SLS could have quite a different character to previous AMGs that send copious amounts of power to the rear wheels.

The 400-volt lithium ion battery is recharged by way of energy recuperation during braking. In its current early stages it’s not known what range will be like, but it’s likely that plugging your SLS into the mains will be another source of recharging.

Dynamics should be pretty sharp, too, with a low centre of gravity achieved by placing the battery and motors very low down in the car. Weight distribution should be fairly close to neutral, too. Impressively, no changes have had to be made to the gullwing car’s aluminium spaceframe chassis to accommodate the new setup.

While the petrol SLS is due next year, expect another few years to pass before the electric version comes to fruition. It could signal a stable future for high power AMGs, though. Volker Mornhinweg, CEO of AMG, said – ‘With the SLS AMG with electric drive, we wanted to redefine the super sports car. For us, it is not just about responsibility. We attach just as much importance to excitement and classic AMG performance.’

Mercedes-Benz CL Class 2 door

MSRP: $107,900 - $203,700


According to Edmunds, minimal external differences separate the different CL models other than the AMG versions that come with "unique exterior enhancements" and "20-inch wheels.” Otherwise, they share a "sporty" appearance highlighted by a roofline that "sweeps smoothly from windshield to rear window without the interruption of a B-pillar." Cars.com calls that roofline "one of the CL550's best attributes" and goes on to say that "in the world of high-dollar the CL550's styling is rather restrained," though "its long profile, low-slung stance and big three-pointed star on the grille say 'I'm expensive.'"

Reviewers at ForbesAutos comment that this 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL Class"looks shapely from some angles," but it also "appears a bit fussed-over from other angles," and overall, it simply "didn't provoke public swooning in the manner of the2009 Mercedes-Benz CL Class or Jaguar XKR." Kelley Blue Book calls it “neither showy nor obviously exotic.”
Kelley Blue Book praises the interior of this 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL Class as do most reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, for the2009 Mercedes-Benz CL Class that "abounds door-to-door, floor-to-roof" and is enhanced by a "leather-trimmed aviation-style cockpit." ForbesAutos goes on to say that "nearly everything about the design" of the2009 Mercedes-Benz CL Class interior "announces that this is a genuine article." ConsumerGuide mentions "most major controls are logically placed and easy to reach." Cars.com is impressed by the way that the "CL550's cabin manages to elegantly fuse modern technology with old-world sophistication," thanks to its "orange ambient lighting with classic burled walnut trim and a full-leather interior."
