Rye, New York, United States
|
This Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL set a new benchmark in safety and automotive design when it was released in 1990. Even today, you're sure to get looks when you drive down the road in this piece of automotive history. This generation S-Class was the first series production vehicle in the world to feature airbags and three-point active seatbelt restraints. Anti-lock brakes were also part of the enormous list of safety features that helped redefined the luxury sedan segment.
This S-Class has 226,123 highway-driven miles and has been owned by a Mercedes-Benz employee for the past 14 years (second owner. It has been completely maintained at all times. The vehicle just received a new exhaust and resonator, new fuel lines, brakes, ABS brake lines, tires, and neutral safety switch. The front right turn signal lamp plastic casing has cracked but the lamp inside remains intact and functions correctly. There are two small rust repair spots on the front wheel wells that have not been painted (shown in photos). The front right passenger seat has a few tears in the leather, though the driver seat is completely intact (due to a seat cover). All electronic systems function correctly and the vehicle still has its original Becker Radio. The S-Class was originally designed for long-distance, high-speed travel and as a result, still runs very well. Though the vehicle is large, it handles very precisely and is a joy to drive.

This means that all sales are final regardless of faults or failures that may develop after the purchase has been completed. Vehicles require maintenance and care.

XCAR marks 20-year anniversary of Senna's passing with Mercedes 190E Cosworth
Thu, 01 May 2014While the automotive world is focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, there was much, much more to the legendary driver than his untimely passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
XCAR has the story of a younger Senna, who, by a stroke of luck, found himself matched up against a veritable dream team of nine Formula One champions, not to mention a cadre of German touring car aces. A "probably still pissed (drunk)" James Hunt, hard-driving Niki Lauda and future champion and rival Alain Prost, were in attendance for the one-off, spec race, which was put on by Mercedes-Benz, in honor of the opening of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit. And Senna was on hand with the explicit goal of besting them all.
Each driver was handed a lightly modified, but brand-new 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, a car that can best be though of as the distant ancestor of the lovable C63 AMG. As for the race itself, well, it was sort of like an introduction of what the sport could come to expect from the Brazilian.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
