Ever since its release, the new GT R has gotten a whole lot of attention in the media. It’s been scouted by Michael Bay to be one of the next Transformer’s movie’s autobot protagonists and been preordered by YouTube personality Shmee150. With all of this media hype you’d expect Mercedes to roll out production and rank in the bank for their amazing car. They’re doing exactly the opposite with announcing that no more than 2000 will be produced worldwide making this one of the most exclusive cars of the modern market.

So while it is likely you won’t be able to get your hands on the GT R, you can still feel like you’re behind the wheels of one by upgrading your engine and going on from there until your Mercedes-Benz may as well be an honorary GT R.

Lewis Hamilton even blurted something about an LH Series of the GT R, but I’m exactly sure that will pan out. More recently, Autocar reports that Mercedes-AMG has hinted that production of the GT R “could be limited to just 2,000 units, when asked about build numbers at the car’s recent launch.”

If you ask me, that’s a teeny-weeny bit uncanny. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG of yesteryear, for example, sold a total of 2,733 units in Gullwing and Roadster forms throughout its production cycle in the U.S. alone. Why would the mad professors in Affalterbach limit production of the GT R other than for the sake of exclusivity is beyond me. Be that as it may, Mercedes-AMG is reportedly working on an even more extreme Black Series iteration.

That said, the next model to debut in the GT lineup is the Roadster. Slated to arrive in 2017, the open top variant of the GT be available in two flavors: 462 PS (456 hp) and 600 Nm (442,5 lb-ft) or 510 PS (503 hp) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque. Estimated time of arrival? Next year at either Detroit or Geneva. Continue Reading

Takata airbags have become a popular brand for almost every auto-industry giant, including Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Toyota, Volkswagen and more. Sadly though, it looks like Mercedes would have benefitted from manufacturing their own safety measures for their vehicles as 2016 and 2017 Takata airbags have been found with a fault that has caused 13 deaths and over 100 injuries.

While it seems the best measure is to follow the recall due to the externally manufactured part, for those with older Mercedes be sure to look into keeping your drive safe. We’d recommend looking into Steering and fresh Brakes to increase control on the road.

Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler Van vehicles have been added to a list of new cars and trucks being sold with potentially defective airbags made by Takata Corp.

A report released Wednesday by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who leads a Senate commerce committee, cites several makes and models that are equipped with part in question.

Takata-made airbags are part of an unprecedented recall that spans 14 automakers and 22 brands, and includes some 34 million vehicles in the U.S.

At the heart of the recall is an airbag inflator that can become explosive and send metal pieces flying through the cabin of the vehicle when it’s deployed.

Nelson’s report adds these vehicles to the list of new cars and trucks with defective airbag inflators: Continue Reading

Mercedes has answered the age old question of how to create the perfect car for the market. This secret was to take an already successful powerhouse on the market and raise the price by $20,000 to cram it full of some of the most luxurious features possible. The Mercedes-Maybach takes everything great from the Benz S600 and turns it into the perfect chauffer car, with the most accommodating back seat design seen on the market.

While it might be hard to extend your already excellent Benz to accommodate this luxurious First Class back seat, click here and look into upgrading your interior.

It must have been a horror for Mercedes to see its position as the ultimate German luxury automobile brand challenged by BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen. Three brands that initially have, and in the case of Volkswagen still does, produce entry-level cars.

Mercedes’s board of directors must have more than a few sleepless nights over the fight between Volkswagen and BMW over the control of Rolls-Royce/Bentley (see The Bentley Bentayga: You Will Love The $160,000 Dashboard Clock Option).

When the dust settled around the British automobile icons, BMW had become the proud new owner of Rolls-Royce while Volkswagen controlled Bentley. Mercedes’s supremacy as the oldest and most regal German car manufacturer was on the line – or so it must have felt to the company’s board. Continue Reading

The E300 4Matic has made its first visit to the states and it looks like it will be making a big splash when it returns with the fleet to hit the market. As expected of the E-Class line, it has a modest exterior with a few sleek lines through the design that help break up the monotony and make it more than just a plain Jane. But what matters most is what’s on the inside, and when you see the interior off these Benz you’ll fall in love.

Furthermore, much of the car’s mechanical components have been replaced with aluminum versions, trimming 100 pounds and making this sleek machine quite the efficient beast. For those with older E-Class models who are getting a little jealous, click here and see about sprucing up your own interior.

Ask Mercedes-Benz what built the bones of the brand, and they will cheerfully tell you that it was the stalwart E-Class that cemented Mercedes’ role as innovators in not just the luxury midsize segment, but the industry as a whole. The redesigned 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class unsurprisingly remains one of the segment standards, arriving with the level of design, quality, and technology we have come to expect of the three-pointed star.

Like the middle child it is, the 2017 E-Class blends the style of both the smaller, sportier C-Class and the luxe-centric S-Class into a smooth and well-designed executive package. When the cover dropped on the new E-Class back in January of this year, we can’t say we were surprised. Like the brand’s recently refreshed SUV lineup, the E-Class has a bit of every other Mercedes in both its bodylines and face. Continue Reading

While not the kind of canvas that you would expect in fine art museums, Mercedes offered up a small Sprinter Van to artist Gregory Siff who proceeded to hand paint ice cream advertisements all over the surface of the vehicle to give it a lovingly rendered small business ice cream truck look. Every white inch of the truck has been utilized as a joyous canvas that is intended to take viewers back to their childhood with red white and blue bomb pops and every other ice cream you’d remember from your childhood.

And what every good ice cream truck needs is good air conditioning, and every resident who can visit their local galleries to see the display would also benefit from a tuned up air conditioning system to help them survive the summer.

You’re not likely to see a Mercedes-Benz van used too often as an ice cream truck — unless you’re perhaps wandering the streets of Cannes Monaco or visiting a new art exhibit in Los Angeles this month. Since the French Riviera lends itself more to gilded gelato over red, white and blue bomb pops, your best shot would definitely be LA.

Currently, Mercedes-Benz and the 4AM Gallery teamed up to present artist Gregory Siff for the unveiling of The Portrait of the American Ice Cream Man. The automaker commissions its favorite artists to contribute to its cultural promotions around the world, and Siff’s latest work commemorates the 10 Year anniversary of The Deitch Parade in NYC where the artist introduced his popular work, The Marshmallows.

On display through July at 422 S. Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, Siff’s work looks to recreate his experience of childhood through becoming a man in Los Angeles. Mercedes-Benz offered up a small Sprinter Van as a pristine, white canvas to represent a glimpse into those child years. Continue Reading.

The Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4 has seen an amazing tune up and facelift from Masonry, a Swiss tuning company who have an apparent fondness of carbon fiber. Many of the G500’s components have been replaced with carbon fiber versions making this truck built like a bomb shelter and the look is pulled off fabulously.

This tuneup wasn’t just a makeover though, as various upgrades have given the G500 an extra 52 horsepower and 73 lb-ft of torque. The big secret to this upgrade was a fancy new Exhaust System that allowed the already powerful engine to breath better and function to its full potential.

Outlandish Swiss tuning company Mansory has applied its know-how to the Mercedes G500 4×4², making the standout off-roader even more conspicuous than before.

If you like carbon fibre, Mansory’s take on the G500 4×4² should be right up your alley. The firm has applied a new carbon fibre vented hood, carbon fibre headlight surrounds with LED headlights, carbon fibre fender flares and a carbon fibre roof and spoiler. There’s also carbon fibre door handles, exterior trim and taillamp covers.

Backing up the sporting looks is a lighter and louder sport exhaust system. The exhaust helps the G500 4×4²’s 4.0-litre BiTurbo V8 breath a bit better, resulting in an increase of 52hp and 73 lb-ft of torque for a total of 468hp and 522 lb-ft. Continue Reading

The sexy new Mercedes-AMG GT R has hit the market and attracted a lot of attention with its sleek looks and amazing performance. Most interesting of all, the car has caught Michael Bay’s attention and he intends to use the car in ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ as the character Drift.

With all the action and destruction that goes in those movies, we’re sure Drift is going to need some new Body replacements to get back in shape for round 2 with Decepticons.

The fire-breathing new 198 mph Mercedes-AMG GT R that we told you about last month is already attracting interest in Hollywood. Specifically it’s been cast as “Drift” in the 5th installment in Michael Bay’s Transformers series, The Last Knight, due out next year.

The barely road-legal AMG GT R takes over the, um, role from a Bugatti Veyron, and will rev up beside the new Bumblebee Camaro and evil Barricade Mustang (below) previously revealed by Bay. Read More

ZR Auto of Western Canada has produced one of the most gorgeous modded cars of the year with this Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG.

On the visual front, a custom FAB Design widebody kit gives the car a meaner stance. Completing the kit are the remodeled front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and trunk spoiler.

It was a wild race to behold and perhaps one worth going back to for those who did not watch it live. The depth of strategic and mechanical variety on the race track made this an amazing race to behold. With an eventful start with the variety of cars making a rapid succession of overtakes, the race culminated with the driving team lead by Wim de Pundert taking first place, followed by an audi team then yet another Mercedes team.

With all that power in a new Mercedes engine, consider clicking here and upgrading your Mercedes Benz with the best engine in the business.

Le Castellet (July 16, 2016) – With the first two hours of the Hankook 24H Circuit Paul Ricard, the fifth round of the 24H Series powered by Hankook, in the books, the HTP Motorsport GmbH Mercedes AMG GT3 (#41, Wim de Pundert/Bernd Schneider/Brice Bosi/Clemens Schmid) leads the 51 car-strong field.

After Wim de Pundert had driven the first stint, the five times DTM champion Bernd Schneider handed the Mercedes over to young Austrian Clemens Schmid. Half a minute down, the Optimum Motorsport Audi R8 LMS (#14, Flick Haigh/Joe Osborne/Ryan Ratcliffe/Edward Sandström) follows in second place.

Currently in third are the 2015 winners, the Ram Racing Mercedes AMG GT3 (#30, Stuart Hall/Roald Goethe/Daniel Brown/Jamie Campbell-Walter). In these early stages, the order is likely to change rapidly due to small gaps, strategic variety, and different car configurations. Several teams running top-field cars already struggled.

The team sponsored by red bull last year failed to collect any grand prix metals leading Renault and Red Bull to almost split, however they have renewed their contract this season and are claiming confidence that they can catch up with Mercedes. With the way business has been favoring Mercedes this year, another bad performance by Renault could lead to their contract being terminated for good. For upgrading your Mercedes with the best engines in racing, click here.

Adrian Newey is convinced that Renault can “really start to close in” on Mercedes if they continue to improve at the current rate.

Although Red Bull tried to part ways with Renault last season as they failed to win a single grand prix, the four-time World Champions eventually re-signed in a deal that sees them running TAG Heuer rebranded Renault engines.

And that decision has begun to pay dividends.

Red Bull is the only team aside from Mercedes to have won a grand prix this season with Max Verstappen triumphant in Spain while the team has an additional four podiums to their tally.

“I think it’s fairly well recorded that at the start of last season there was a frustrating time when Renault if anything, frankly, were going backwards rather than forwards,” Red Bull design guru Newey told ESPN. Continue reading
