It’s capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and can max out at 315 km/h. The top speeds of 140 km/h with standard and 160 km/h with special equipment ensure rapid progress both in and out of urban traffic. Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz gets to share a special honour: the super sports car will also grace the cover of Gran Turismo 5 as the first vehicle from a German manufacturer in the history of the game series. Studebaker Golden Hawk and 190SL Mercedes-Benz share a showroom floor. Mercedes-Benz has loaded the van with 2500 pounds of water and then built a brace that places all the weight at the roof of the van. How could such a small engine handle not only the weight of such a large van but everything it’s designed to carry, from nearly 3,500 pounds of cargo to 15 people in the case of the longest wheelbase version.
The electronic stability control (ESC) additionally has been optimized to perform effortlessly with the new 3.half-dozen-liter V-6 engine. The new Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer takes on the autonomous look of its brothers with a combustion engine. Collings makes it look easy as he sprints up the hill and handles the 17.3-liter beast with poise, and we even catch a few power slides along the way. The battery feeds an electric motor delivering a maximum power output of 286 PS and a peak torque of 400 Nm. But beneath the dynamic front with a charging connection in the bumper at the front left is the electric drivetrain (eATS), which powers the front wheels with a peak output of 150 kW. Other changes included the fitment of a more direct steering system, new wheels, three grille bars (versus the previous four), a deeper front airdam and a clear-lens taillight insert. Located in a central housing along with the system electronics and transmission, the motor drives the rear wheels, allowing for a typical BMW driving experience. One time, I thought I would be rear ended by another vehicle while I was driving in a highway. In the videos below you will see a van that is a one of a kind unit.
The nervous system of the entire driver assistance system is Mercedes-Benz "Intelligent Drive," which gets better cameras and radar units that see farther down the road this time around. While the vehicle may have sparked some hopes that BMW would follow Mercedes-Benz into the world of pickup trucks, we think the Bavarian car manufacturer could do a better job of an X7 pickup than it did and perhaps take some inspiration from Rain Prisk’s design. Since 1979, Mercedes-Benz's non-destructible off-roader has been a permanent fixture in its range of models and continues to be extremely popular among fans around the world. There are various models available (about 30, in different wheel base and load capacities) and all have impressive standard on board features. The limited edition version joins the S as the two models that go on sale here, with prices starting from RM 998,888, on-the-road without insurance. The X-Class Element Edition is available exclusively through the Mercedes-Benz Vans Retailer network in the UK, and like its nomenclature suggests, there will only be a limited number of these trucks available.
Mercedes just revealed a Sprinter van prototype with a fuel cell, and now Toyota‘s revealed something much, much larger that also aims to harness the lightest element on the periodic table. You can put so much into a Sprinter. Please click on the link above and hopefully you enjoy learning about the history of this van as much as I have. The Dubai Police have just added a new vehicle to their fleet in the form of a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S. Over the years, authorities in the bustling Middle Eastern city have added a staggering array of exotics to their police fleet in a bid to increase its security presence in popular tourist destinations. Like many other high-end vehicles from the local police force, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S will spend most of its time at different tourist spots and landmark areas across the emirate, providing members of the public with important police information and advice. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is a beast in its own right, even though it may not be quite as exotic or fast as some of the other vehicles used by the Dubai Police.
