2014 E250 BlueTEC®

Mercedes-Benz has always been a pioneer of diesel technology and their new turbo charged 4 cylinder diesel engine continues with that trend. This motor is currently only available in the GLK, but now the E350 BlueTEC® is being replaced by the more fuel efficient E250 BlueTEC®. With 45 mpg highway and 28 mpg city it achieves the best in class fuel efficiency for a midsize luxury sedan.  Another first for an E-Class diesel is the availability our 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. The diesels are popular here in the PNW, but it has always been a hard decision for consumers to choose between the fuel efficiency of the diesel or all-wheel drive. We’ll they can now get the best of both worlds. The E250 BlueTEC® should be arriving in our showroom shortly.

S-Class Coupe

With the All new 2014 S-Class coming out in about a month, there have been questions about when the new CL-Class is coming. Well, first things first, there will be no CL-Class anymore. Just like the CLK-Class made way for the E-Class Coupe and Convertible, the CL-Class is now the S-Class Coupe. So we should be seeing the All New S-Class coupe as a 2015 Model. As you can see from the official concept designs, it is far more aggressive than the S-Class. However, as usual it does carry over a lot of the new technology that will debut on the 2014 S-Class. Sportier design and all the tech goodies sounds like a winning combination. And don’t hold us to it, but there are rumors of a convertible version of the S-Class Coupe. Think back to when Mercedes-Benz showed off the Ocean Drive concept car. It was a large 4 passenger soft top convertible. We think it is very plausible we’ll see a soft top convertible S-Class sooner than later.

The AMG® S-Models are Beginning to Arrive

New for Model Year 2014 is the addition of S-Models to the AMG® lineup. The new S-Model is the replacement for the P30 Performance Package. As of this moment the S-Model is available for the CLS63 AMG® and the E63 AMG®. There is a difference of 27hp (550hp vs. 577) and 59 lb-ft of torque (590 lb-ft vs 531 lb-ft). Both the regular and S-Model AMG® vehicles are equipped with AMG® 4MATIC® Performance All Wheel Drive. The torque split is 33% front and 67% rear. The 4MATIC® is critically important in getting the massive 577hp to the road, for an impressive 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds.  All in all the S-Model CLS-Class and E-Class are quicker than a 2013 Lamborghini GALLARDO LP 560-4, 2013 Audi R8, 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and the 2013 Ferrari California. The visual differentiation between the Normal and S-Models are as follows: 19’’ 10 Spoke Titanium Wheels, Red Brake Calipers, Chrome Rocker Panel Insert, “S” AMG® Badge, Conjoined Quad Exhaust Pipes, Spoiler, Silver Contrast Stitching and Silver Seat Belts, Affalterbach Crest Pressed into headrests, to name a few.

BRABUS S63 AMG®

BRABUS is back at it with the All New 2014 S63 AMG®.

A simple plug and play ECU kit for the S63 AMG® will offer and additional 145hp, taking you up to 650hp. Take that a step further and start with new turbo chargers, exhaust system, etc. and you can get all the way to 730 hp. Aesthetically BRABUS offers a full body kit and 19, 20 or even 21’’ wheels.

Mercedes-Benz SLC

New details have emerged on the upcoming SLC. So what we know so far is that it will be the little sibling to the current SLS AMG®. We previously thought that the SLS AMG® was going to be discontinued  and replaced with the SLC. But that is not the case and we have learned to help differentiate the models, the SLC will not have the gullwing doors. The SLC will be lighter and smaller than the SLS, utilizing  carbon fiber and aluminum. Also it will have an all new engine, a 4.0 liter V8 engine producing 450 hp and the Black Series will have a 500 hp version of the same engine.  The SLC is going to be positioned as the main rival for the Porsche 911. Hopefully we will see the coupe and convertible version of the SLC sometime in 2015.

2014 S63 AMG®

The most powerful high-performance saloon in the luxury segment sets new standards in terms of driving dynamics, lightweight construction and efficiency. The 5.5 liter V8 bi-turbo engine now produces 585hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Add the AMG® Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive and this beast puts the power down and gets you to 60 mph right a 4 seconds, which is unbelievable for the size of this vehicle. The boys in Affalterbach have put it on a diet and it now weights 220 lbs. less than its predecessor. Surprisingly the S63 still gets 22 mpg not that it matters if you own this car. Just like the standard S550 the S63 AMG® is the words first production car with all LED lighting and the AMG® version is now the words first production vehicle with a lightweight lithium ion battery. Check out the pictures and video to see all the interior and exterior excellence that AMG® has done to this vehicle. Expect to see the S63 AMG® in our showroom this November. *European Model Shown*

2015 S-Class Coupe

 

As we have mentioned before the S-Class will be offered in many different body styles including a coupe. That means the end of the CL-Class nameplate; it will now be the S-Class Coupe. We have already been introduced to the 2014 S-Class, the ultimate benchmark for the luxury sedan and the coupe will follow in its ground breaking footsteps. It’s hard to see with all the camouflage, but it seems as if the coupe has been styled a lot more aggressively than its previous counterpart. In its old age the current CL-Class has gotten heavier and looked too similar to the S-Class Sedan. Mercedes-Benz has taken that to heart and will offer something to satisfy the sporty, luxury coupe market. Just like the current model the 2015 coupe will share much of its interior from its big brother the S-Class Sedan. The sporty styling of a coupe mixed with the ultimate luxury of the sedan, sounds like a perfect combination. Also, fingers crossed the S-Class coupe will be offered as a 4 seater convertible. Look for more details later this year and we should see the coupe in the 2015 Model Year.

Car-to-X Technology

In an effort to continue the pursuit of “intelligent drive” and to improve the safety of all motorists, Mercedes-Benz has announced a new technological feet: Car-to-X technology. This will make Mercedes-Benz the first automobile manufacturer to implement a technology that allows cars to communicate with each other and other objects. This new technology will be implemented by the end of the year and a retrofit kit should be available for other late model Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The purpose of the technology will be to alert the driver to potential road traffic dangers at an early stage so that they can take appropriate action and even help to avoid critical situations arising in the first place.

SLS AMG Electric Drive Fastest EV in the World

 

The SLS AMG Electric Drive has been crowned the fastest EV thanks to its lap time around the Nuremburg Ring.

First a little background information on the SLS Electric Drive. It is an all-electric vehicle powered by 4 electric motors, which sit over each wheel of the vehicle. This setup allows the vehicle to have 4 wheel drive, which is the only way to control 737 lb-ft of torque. The 0-60 time would be under 4 seconds. This eco-friendly supercar produces the equivalent of 751hp. The only thing you’re missing compared to its big brother the SLS AMG GT is the roar of that V8. But you can always play something over the bang and olufsen surround sound system!

The SLS Electric Drive lapped the Nürburgring at a surprising 7 minutes and 56 seconds. This is officially the fastest time for an electric vehicle production car. To put that time in perspective it is only 16 seconds slower that the SLS AMG GT, which is considerably lighter. 

European Model Shown, this vehicle is rumored not to be available in the US.

You will not find many G63 with the Matte Finish paint and the diamond stitched desgino interior. We also ordered this one with the 20" Matte Black AMG Five Spoke Wheels, and black piano lacquer wood trim. This beast has black everything, for the stealth look.
