E-Class Hybrids to be Introduced in January

In January next year, the much awaited Detroit Motor Show will be held. Almost all car companies will have models that will launch in the said event, and of course, Mercedes-Benz will not be left behind.

The E300 BlueTEC Hybrid and the E400 BlueTEC Hybrid will premier at the auto show. The car is known to provide green benefits to owners while making sure the luxury feel remains intact.

The E300 BlueTEC Hybrid consumes only 4.2 liters per 100KM and produces 200HP with the help of its 4-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the E400 BlueTEC Hybrid is a V6 engine which can produce 300HP. Both cars will be run by a 20kW electric motor.

“The modular technology opens up a quick way for us to complement other model series with hybrid models. With these two E-Class models we are now continuing our comprehensive hybrid offensive,” said the Head of Mercedes-Benz Car Development, Dr. Thomas Weber.

Scooped: Brochure Scans of the 2013 Mercedes SL

Germancarforum showed a scanned brochure of the new Mercedes SL. Even if there were lots of spyshots that has been showing up in various car blogs, the cars there are heavily shelled or disguised. If these scans are true, then this is the first time we'll be seeing the actual thing, at least on photo.

Aside from the reported new windshield technology and engines, the 2013 SL is pretty much like its predecessors. It maintained the retractable hard top too.

What's making this car exciting is its 89% aluminum body that will apparently make it 308 pounds lighter than 2012 SL.

The car will make its debut at the Detroit Motor Show, but if this scans are true, then we might be seeing the official photos anytime soon – before its debut.
