1966 - Mercedes-benz 200-series on 2040-cars
Ontario, Oregon, United States
1966 Mercedes Benz 250SE Coupe Remarkably nice 250SE coupe with 94,765 miles in very good condition. Vin:11102112085220 History: I purchased this rust free car here in Oregon in the spring of 2013 from the second owner who had the car in his heated garage for the last 25 years. The Mercedes shop I use comprehensively went through the car when I bought it and it was clear that this car had received lots of attention over the years and had been maintained to a high standard. I grew up driving these cars and have owned several of them and this one is a solid quality accident free car that is a rare find in this condition. The hood and trunk gaps are factory correct, I have seen and owned cars that have not lined up well and this car shows its original lines extremely well. In my opinion this is one the best cars ever designed (thank you Paul Bracq) and with only 5,259 250SE Coupes produced between 9/65–12/67 its rarity also makes it great for any collection. This is a great solid well cared for car that I am selling it to downsize my collection. Engine & Transmission: Excellent running and driving condition. The mechanics on this car are very well sorted and maintained. The M129 engine starts right up every time and can run all day every day as it was designed to do. I have always loved the sound these cars make as they shift through the gears. This car’s transmission shifts flawlessly and drives as it should, strong and smooth. The sats say 150 horsepower and a top speed 117 mph, and while these cars never jumped off the line (0–100 km/h acceleration 14 seconds) once you get to cruising speed it is very comfortable and you can sit behind the wheel all day long effortlessly. This car floats down the road and is very nice to drive. Body: Excellent rust-free body panels are all straight. The car has had one very nice professional re-paint in the original 501 H (orient red) color. I have taken extensive photos to show how nice the paint is. I would grade it 8.8 on a scale from 1-10. (I am picky) Glass is all good. Chrome is very nice. Front bumper is very nice, rear bumper has a few scratches in it. Plastic lenses are all good with no cracks. Unrestored undercarriage has a new compensator spring in the rear installed by the previous owner. The factory undercoating is still intact, the bottom of this car is original and solid. Muffler is in great condition showing little use. The doors close with little effort and make the signature Mercedes click (see video). The exterior is truly immaculate and the color and condition show the great lines of the car. Interior: The interior is a time capsule for 1966. The dash and interior panels are in great condition. The last owner took great pride and care of this car, carpets are like new, wood is in show condition. The driver seat is new and the rest of the interior is very well preserved. This car is equipped with headrests that are a nice option for these cars. The trunk mat, spare tire, jack, and trunk mounted tire iron tool look to be original. The heater/defrost work well and the A/C blows cold. All dash instruments work as they should, (except clock loses a little time each week). This car is equipped with a power window option and they work well, all lights are in excellent working condition, headliner is very nice. The smell of the leather seats is one of the best things I like about these cars and this one smell great. This cars interior is really a special time capsule and makes driving the car fun. Summary: I am a car enthusiast and Mercedes fan, this is a very solid car that I have enjoyed and am happy to be able to help preserve it.

Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class presentation leaked, debuting in May
Fri, 22 Feb 2013WorldCarFans was reportedly sent what looks like a dealer presentation on the coming V222 series 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. There have been hints for years as to the kinds of technology the world's best-selling large luxury sedan will contain, and it appears those hints had some foundation. To be shown in Germany on May 15 before a launch window that runs from September to November this year, the evolutionary design will be built of aluminum and steel, using that lighter material for the front end, roof and "detached body parts."
Among the new options buyers will be able to choose are the Rear Seat Package with rear seatbelt airbags and active buckles that extend, a Warmth and Comfort Package with heated seats front and back, heated armrests and side panels, and power rear seats with active ventilation and memory function. There's a chauffeur seating option that comes with 10-way adjustable rear seats, an extendable footrest and folding tables in the front seatbacks.
Blatant technology will be on display via two 12.3-inch screens, one for the dash cluster and one for the COMAND infotainment screen on the instrument panel. The third generation of Nightview Assist Plus will be able to detect animals as well as humans, and the next generation of Surround View will provide high-res views all around the car. A touchpad and a color head-up display will arrive in 2015. It will be the first Mercedes-Benz to utilize LED lighting everywhere, inside and outside the car.
Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
