Stuttgart/Kleinostheim, Germany, Dec 02, 2010 - The success story of the MercedesServiceCard for commercially operated Mercedes-Benz trucks and vans continues. In Germany, Mercedes-Benz was once again the undisputed Number One premium brand in November. “Obviously, we’ll have to work hard again tomorrow - but, all things considered, it’s a good place for us to be starting from tomorrow: it’s on the clean side of the track, which is a positive, and it’s a long haul down to Turn One. And we’ll stay focused for tomorrow: I need to get as good a start as I’ve been getting for the past few races, stay clean, get around the first corner and keep moving forwards after that. But we’ll do the best job we can. “Our car is the best it’s ever been at this circuit. Furthermore, the CLS is the first car in the world available with optional innovative high-performance LED headlamps. The light sensor turns on the headlamps when it gets dark outside.
These combine for the first time the Intelligent Light System already available in Mercedes models with bi-xenon headlamps with LED technology. • Mercedes Benz also boasts of being the manufacturers of the first road car with brakes on all the four Mercedes wheels. Anti Slip Regulation (ASR) uses the brakes and engine management to optimise traction at any speed to allow the car to cope with low grip surfaces. With its new models, Mercedes-Benz is using key accents to set the scene in advance of the 125th birthday of the automobile, “We are celebrating this anni-versary by forging ahead with the re-invention of the automobile - with groundbreaking technologies from the A to the S-Class,” says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars at the Mercedes press conference on the completely re-designed exhibition stand that creates a fascinating three-dimensional brand experience on more than 2,000 square meters. Says Dr. Schmidt: “We continue to develop at a dynamic pace in China, where we are growing faster than our competitors in the premium segment. And, as the first 5-liter car in the luxury segment, the new S 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY is the perfect illustration of how well-prepared the premium automobiles from Mercedes-Benz are for the future.
Audi dominated the premium vehicle segment in China with a 29.6 percent share last year, followed by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Mercedes-Benz at 23.6 percent and 20.6 percent, respectively, according to estimates at researcher IHS Global Insight. Although the market continued to decrease (minus six percent), Mercedes-Benz sales rose by 22 percent, so that 27,700 vehicles (November 2009: 22,800) were handed over to customers. A total of 7,100 smart fortwo were delivered in November (November 2009: 9,800 units, minus 27 percent). All the power units have increased output and torque compared with their predecessors, while fuel consumption has dropped by up to 25 percent. The new generation of the successful CLS four-door coupe combines groundbreaking design and cultivated sporting character with fuel consumption benefits of up to 25 percent compared with its predecessor. All engines in the CLS are new and deliver fuel consumption improvements of up to 25 percent compared with the outgoing models. For this reason, we are focusing on an intelligent drive mix for our current and future vehicles that incorporates something more - fascination. Natural gas, hybrid drivelines, and advanced batteries and fuel cells were among the alternatives to diesel power that were considered for future lorries, vans, and buses.
In Europe, diesel engines are already popular for its high power output. This gives the freedom to refuel, with attractive discounts, at one of the most extensive networks of filling stations in Europe, independent of brand, and to use the card to pay for all tunnel and ferry costs, as well as all European toll charges. If you are looking for an 86/87 Cosworth be prepared to pay $10k-$20k for a nice one; One of the 1993 Limited Editions in excellent condition can also bring $12k-$15k due to being the last year of production and a 1/700 rarity.
