1992 Mercedes Benz 500e on 2040-cars
Sag Harbor, New York, United States

The sportsman in a suit - Mercedes 500E In the early 1990’s if you were rich, wanted to go very fast and wanted 4 seats there weren’t many options. When it arrived, the 500E caused quite a stir. A massive V8, 4 speed automatic gear box and a stunning wide body that is subtle enough so that only people who know what it is look at it. In 1992 the 500E was the fastest production sedan in the world, with 150 mph top speed, and 0 – 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. This was the Mercedes muscle car. The high-performance variant of the W124 is considered by many to be father of the modern factory production V8 Super Sedan, whose bloodlines live on today in the form of the E63 AMG. Each car took an unheard-of 18 days to complete, hand-built at Porsche (in the same facility that previously built the 959) with special flared bodywork, modified SL suspension, SL brakes, Recaro seats, and powered by a naturally-aspirated, all aluminum 5.0L V8 making 322 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. This Smoke Silver 500E is an extremely well-kept example true to original form. In and out it is clean as a whistle. No after market modifications have been made allowing for a true experience as it was intended. Included with this 500E are complete original owners handbooks and leather folio, thorough and impressive service records and receipts totaling over $35,000. Great care went into sourcing original and appropriate parts along the way to keep this vehicle unaltered. The engine is very strong and runs extra smooth. The transmission was professionally rebuilt in house at MB in Germany at 95K miles. The majority of the miles came from its life as a ballistic missile on west coast highways. I'm the first owner to bring it to the northeast, where it currently rests in a lush heated garage awaiting beautiful sunny days and clear roads. All of the cornerstone maintenance is well detailed in the included treasure chest of documentation along with receipts. The body is in excellent condition - No accidents, no dents, no rust with only minor nicks and scratches. Front air dam does have a small cosmetic tear that was there when I bought it. Clear coat has thinned in a couple spots due to weather, primarily on top of the front fenders. It's imperfections allow for a completely immersive driving experience without having to worry about putting that horrific very first scratch on a brand new machine or fully restored classic. This machine is meant to be driven, fast. It's not meant to sit in a garage collecting dust. That being said it’s not far from perfect. The original Mercedes wheels are crisp. No curb rash and damage free. Doors open and close as they should. The chrome trim is beautiful, the rubber components and seals are like new. Sit down in the premium leather wrapped 19 way, powered Recaro seats and you'll feel as though you entered a brand new car. The interior is immaculate. This car has never been smoked in. The leather and carpeting is so clean you'll wonder how the vehicle acquired its milage. The Blaupunkt stereo never worked while I've owned the car and I just couldn't bring myself to replace it with non-OEM equipment. Can't say I ever missed it though. The sound coming from the engine bay is entertaining enough for me. The classic Mercedes Dash board is free of cracks, the center console wood is in very good condition as well. AC blows cold and working perfectly. The Legendary, successful and famous engine (MB-Code M119) used for over 10 years in different models is working with no issues. All the power is there as you would expect from 5.0 V8. There are no expenses spared in order to keep this engine healthy. The most recent service includes a new battery, new ignition coils, new alternator, complete tune up, new oil pump, CO2 sensor, new belts, wires and hoses, cooling system service, among others. Consult the summary of service sheet for more detail. The genuine, untampered nature of this particular machine increases not only it's rarity, but future collectability and value. As time passes these models will only be more sought after. I am open to your best offer or specific questions. Serious buyers will be appreciated.

Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.
