Roll down and start reading. Stuttgart, Germany, Aug 08, 2008 - Mercedes-Benz has gotten off to a good start in the “convertible season” with its updated models. The Mercedes-Benz Econic fulfils key requirements for this kind of specialised usage as standard, with features that include a low overall height which makes it possible to drive under aircraft wings, good manoeuvrability courtesy of the hydraulic automatic transmission (Allison) and a low cab concept to facilitate getting in and out frequently. The advantages of the Direct-Steer system therefore include very low susceptibility to faults and low weight. The performance increase up to 420 hp, in particular thanks to a stainless steel exhaust system with two AMG tailpipes left and right, almost inevitably involves lifting of the Vmax limiter. In the interior, the changes will be even more subtle, but expect some changes to be made to the COMAND infotainment system. Since the beginning of April 2008, Mercedes-Benz has been offering an even sportier SLK generation. Since spring of 2008, the new generation SL-Class has been carrying on the brand’s unparalleled sports car tradition, which began in 1954 with the legendary “gull-wing” 300 SL. The latest - and now the fifth - generation of the SL-Class has so far been chosen by 145,000 customers.
So, now that we are back(earlier than expected), we shall do a little effort to catch up with all the important news and stuff about Merc that we missed during the hault period. Like the outgoing Sprinter 4x4, the new model is so far available only with a turbo-diesel 3.0-liter V-6 engine, which now makes 190 horsepower and 324 lb-ft of torque-a 2-hp gain, but 1 lb-ft less than before. The luxury limousine could also be offered in the S 400 BlueHYBRID version, powered by a 3.5 liters V6 engine, co-developed with BMW. Mercedes-Benz may have updated the M-Class and renamed it the GLE, but the full-sized luxury SUV is still based on the old architecture. The first article deals with the CL-Klasse luxury coupe. The car is absolutely gorgeous;those sexy, curvaceous coupe lines, those powerful rear shoulders, those full-LED headlights, those leaf-shaped tail lamps, those impressive high-diameter alloy wheels - each and every of these, and more besides them, give the new CLS a distinctive, unforgettable and effortless supremacy.
Instead of continuing to promote “Darkness” for weeks or possibly even give fans another single before finally focusing his attention on “Godzilla,” the rapper quickly selected the Juice WRLD collaboration as the latest single from Music to Be Murdered By, and since then, it’s been performing well on many Billboard charts. Regardless of how well it drives - and it drives very well indeed - the latest S-Class Coupe, in any iteration, is a true automotive sculpture. Naturally these engines also meet the expectations that are taken for granted in a power unit bearing the Mercedes star: outstanding reliability and a long operating life to cope with the high demands of day-to-day commercial vehicle operation, as well as long service intervals. For whatever service your looking for business, airport or nights out we have you covered with discounts, free entry to clubs and more . Two Mercedes-Benz Econic semi-trailer trucks with a tanker body have just entered service at London Farnborough Airport.
The trucks are based on the 18-tonne Econic 1824LL chassis but were fitted with a Jost fifth wheel coupling and converted into 4x2 semi-trailer trucks for transporting hazardous goods at the Mercedes-Benz factory in Molsheim, which specialises in constructing special-purpose vehicles. The Chassis style has a van cockpit and open storage bed. A ladder takes a lot of space inside the cargo area but when securely fastened on a rack system, you have more room to utilize inside the van. Since the beginning of the year, more than 8,000 customers around the world have purchased SL-Class models. Since the CLK’s market introduction in 2002, more than 700,000 coupes and convertibles have been purchased by customers worldwide. In Germany the SLK thus continued to defend its position as the market leader in its segment since the beginning of 2008. Moreover, Mercedes-Benz delivers one fifth of its SLK models to the U.S.
