Outstanding and future-proof technology, maximum profitability, an unparalleled level of safety and high comfort - this is what the buses from Mercedes-Benz stand for. A high mileage vehicle may be more likely to need a replacement transmission but the price of the transmission replacement doesn't depend on vehicle mileage. How can you choose the right vehicle for your needs out of this line up of options? We needed to have a good pit stop to stay ahead of Kubica but unfortunately we had the problem with the right rear wheel. At the rear, the AMG spoiler lip, the two chromed twin tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system and the diffuser-style rear apron with body-coloured insert draw the design to a fitting conclusion. Running boards and a spare wheel cover with a 3D Mercedes-Benz star in stainless steel, as well as an AMG radiator grille in a 3-louvre design with chrome highlights, emphasise its exceptional position in the range.
Further contrasts are provided by running boards and the spare wheel cover with a 3D Mercedes-Benz star in stainless steel. A standard leather interior features 14-way adjustable power front seats, integrated headrests, and steel seat frames with integrated suspension. The cockpit features five analog gauges, including two pairs that overlap each other, as well as a leather-wrapped three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and console-mounted shift lever. Likewise celebrating its premiere at the International Commercial Vehicle Show will be the extensively upgraded new generation of the Setra TopClass 400. The patented Front Collision Guard passive safety system, including movable driver workspace module, is now supplemented by an additional innovation in the form of the Active Brake Assist system, whereby, if there is an acute danger of a rear-end collision with the vehicle in front, having issued a series of graduated warnings, in a final stage the system automatically initiates a full application of the brakes.
Useful accessories include rubber mats for the footwells and load compartment, as well as a load compartment cover including additional stowage boxes. Another eye-catching detail is the chrome luggage compartment sill panel with "Mercedes-Benz" lettering. The Chrome package is rounded off by a chrome luggage compartment sill protector with "Mercedes-Benz" lettering and a radiator grille with chrome inserts. Further highlights are provided by stylish yet functional ambient lighting, as well as chrome highlights on the frame and selector lever cover, seat adjustment controls and the loudspeakers in the front doors. Ambient lighting and chrome trim in the area of the selector lever, the seat adjustment controls and the loudspeakers in the front doors underline the luxurious standard. AMG flared wheel arches in the vehicle colour, in combination with 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels and tyre size 265/60 R 18, underline the striking appearance of the special model. Standard features also include an electric sliding/tilting sunroof, metallic paintwork, rear mudflaps, carbon-fibre look inserts in the protective strips, an ultrasonic reversing aid and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

It’s an evolution of the AMG principal, “Hot stuff and cold stuff don’t mix,” although it created very specific problems. For the 1993 and 1994 model years, twelve E 500 Limited's were outfitted with a 6.0L M119 V8 engine by tuner AMG. In the G500 a powerful 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine with 285 kW (388 hp) and 530 newton metres effortlessly performs the same function. Two variants will be available: in the G350 BlueTEC a 6-cylinder diesel engine with the very latest BlueTEC emissions control, 155 kW (211 hp) and 540 newton metres for great pulling power both on and off the road. When the warm-up process is complete, the engine is switched over to run on vegetable oil. These were run by front engines and powered rear wheels. With dual-stage front air bags as well, the E-Class boasts nine standard supplemental restraints, and rear side air bags are optionally available. The 2011 E-Class comes with a knee air bag for the driver that minimizes leg injuries in frontal collisions, while pelvic air bags work with the existing curtain and side air bags to provide extra protection for front passengers in dangerous side-impact collisions.
Mercedes-Benz designers paid careful attention to the E-Class interior, to ensure that every surface is appealing in form, color and material. Also standard is a COMAND system featuring a large 7-inch color display screen with a standard in-dash, six-disc CD/DVD changer and a Bluetooth interface that allows a phone still in a pocket or purse to be operated through the car's audio system. Standard equipment also includes a convenience telephony system in the armrest, with a universal interface for various mobile phone cradles, extended telephone functions, a charging function and an external aerial for optimum reception. Alongside the permanent all-wheel drive with off-road ratio and the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, the standard specification includes the electronically controlled traction system 4ETS, the Electronic Stability Program ESP and three differential locks with 100-percent locking effect selectable at the push of a button. Standard on E350 models, AGILITY CONTROL suspension provides the best of both worlds for a conventional coil-spring suspension. The suspension on the E350 can be upgraded to the AGILITY CONTROL Sport Suspension with stiffer damping. The E550 is equipped with the Dynamic Handling suspension which includes electronically-adjustable shock absorbers as well as modified throttle response.
