Show, sex appeal and striking poses. Behind the obvious aura of the Mercedes SLS AMG with its vertically opening doors is there more than just talent for attracting attention? Is the successor to the legendary 300 SL worthy of the title of super athlete? Finally, the Mercedes SLS gets a chance to prove itself. For too long, the first solo creation of AMG engineers has been bathed in the rays of mass interest and threatened to turn into another sugary beauty. A fate that the sports model deserves as little as the prospect of forever remaining in the shadow of its famous predecessor, the 300 SL. So on to the race track - an attack on the Hockenheim track! The limits of the possible Without a drop of sentimentality regarding the retro romance of the official catalog, we chase the graduate of AMG around the corners, mercilessly spurring it on ...

Mercedes has launched a completely new generation of one of the two most important models in its range – the C-Class. Reason enough to really take a closer look at the C 200 Kompressor to reveal all its strengths and weaknesses. A special test of the model, carried out by all publications called auto motor und sport. So far, no serial Mercedes saloon has looked like this. Anyone who orders the new C-Class in the sporty Avantgarde version gets a radiator grille, which until now was the privilege of only owners of roadsters and coupes of the brand with the three-pointed star. Excellent handling, but also excellent comfort The mostly positive reviews from the public indicate that the car's designers have really done a good job. 17-inch wheels with 45 mm tires in…

Impressions of outstanding off-road qualities, modern security systems and a luxurious interior of the new G-Class fade against the background of how it rides. It only seems that the Gelandewagen has hardly changed during the generation change. You look at it, and the subconscious mind already gives a hint - "restyling". But this is only the first impression. In fact, behind the familiar angular appearance is a completely new car, built from scratch. And it could not be otherwise: who will allow you to take a swing at the unsinkable image of the icon, built over decades into a cult? However, both the exterior body panels and decorative elements on the new G-Class are also different (door handles, hinges and spare tire cover on the fifth door do not count). The exterior is still dominated by…

We continue the series of cutting-edge technical solutions in the range of units The new M 256 six-cylinder petrol engine The M256 also marks Mercedes-Benz's return to the brand's original six-cylinder in-line arrangement. A few years ago, the six-cylinder atmospheric units M272 KE35 with injection into the intake manifolds (KE-kanaleinspritzung) with an angle between the cylinder banks of 90 degrees and M276 DE 35 with direct injection (DE-direkteinspritzung) with an angle of 60 degrees were replaced at the same time, the basic architecture of which was borrowed from Chrysler's Pentastar engines. The successor to the two naturally aspirated units was the M276 DELA30 with V6 architecture, with a working volume of three liters and forced filling with two turbochargers. Despite the relative youth of the latter…

The elevation difference on the Bilster Berg track is so great that at the entrance to the next turn the car falls sharply down, and the morning cheesecake with coffee rises to the throat. After exiting this hairpin, you need to open by putting the accelerator pedal to the floor, because there is a long straight ahead with a very steep uphill. But the trajectory beyond the top is not visible at all - it's scary to accelerate, especially on the C 63 S. The compact sedan on steroids picks up speed almost like a ballistic missile. The fact is that the updated C 63 has acquired an AMG Speedshift MCT 9G gearbox with nine steps instead of the previous seven-speed one. And if, according to the figures on paper, the acceleration of the car has changed slightly - the new car is gaining a “hundred” in ...

This year marks exactly 20 years since Mercedes launched a small roadster called the SLK. Mercedes designer Bruno Sacco sketched out a short, cute (but not exactly masculine) model with a folding hardtop and a picture of a car for those more interested in the wind in their hair than in performance – although the first generation also had a 32 AMG version with 354 “horses”. The second generation, which came to market in 2004, also found itself in a similar situation when it came to sporty and exciting driving. If it had to, it could have been, but the feeling that the car was designed to entice the driver to do even more was somehow absent, even with…

The question of whether there is an executive sedan better than the Mercedes-Benz S-class belongs to the eternal category. And you can argue, sitting not only on the back sofa, but also in the driver's seat Paradoxically, in our transient life there is quite a lot of eternal. This is not only art, but also a number of issues. Most of them, of course, are existential, but there are also practical ones, because of which wars constantly start. At least on the internet. First of all, this, of course, is a dispute about winter tires: Velcro or spikes. Fans of Mitsubishi Evolution and Subaru WRS STi also break verbal spears without sparing their stomachs. Finally, another eternal question is whether there is a better executive sedan than the Mercedes-Benz S-class. We answer this question...
