1992 Mercedes Benz 500E
I am selling my beautiful and rare 500E. As you may know, the 500E was a joint collaboration between Mercedes and Porsche to build the fastest sedan in the world. The resulting 500E is a beast, and in the early 90's it was both feared and respected by the drivers it passed on the Interstates and Autobahns. These rare and expensive cars were out of reach for most in 1992, and today you can buy this outstanding example for pennies on the dollar! 1 of 1502 imported 1992-95 Porsche developed and hand built to be the fastest sedan sold in USA in 1992 Metallic black over black leather 18" CLS staggered replica wheels with 85%+ tires Lowered with H&R springs Koni adjustable front shocks Factory SLS rear shocks in good condition Slotted rotors with Porterfield RS brake pads All factory options Perfect CarFax 283k mi on chassis Engine refreshed around 200k 250 miles on $3,500 freshly rebuilt transmission Deep throaty exhaust Huge stack of service records Exterior 8/10 (typical chips from road use, presents very well) Interior 9/10 Previous ownership by well known MB Enthusiast writer Reed Hitchcock. A few notes: - My 500E starts, runs, drives, stops, etc, as it should. It is a joy to drive! - While it has high miles, keep in mind it has been loved and maintained by MB experts, and has received an engine refresh and complete transmission rebuild - The car presents very well, but keep in mind that this 500E is 22 years old, so the original paint has the paint chips/marks one would expect from a car that has been driven and enjoyed - The factory radio is currently locked and needs the code to unlock it. I have not taken the time to dig this out of the mountain of paperwork I have for the car. - The rear antenna is stuck. I haven't forced it, out of fear of breaking it. - I have a large box of new and OEM take off parts that will convey with the car. Mentioned as 1 of "Ten future collectible cars" by Car & Driver, Hemmings, and several other publications. According to "The Illustrated Buyer's Guide to Mercedes Benz" by Frank Barrett: The 1992-1993 500E's and 1994 E500's have a four (4) star rating. Frank Barrett gives a nice description of the car, and mentions MB's tradition of building the world's fastest and finest sedans, like the 300 SEL 6.3 and the 450 SEL 6.9. He also mentions AMG built a Hammer model, but sold very few at $150,000 / copy. He concludes the summary of this car with the following: "The 500E is the prime Mercedes-Benz collector car of the early 1990's".

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class spotted in the snow
Mon, 11 Mar 2013The entry-level Mercedes-Benz C-Class has long felt like nothing more than, well, just that. Aside from the potent and delicious C63 AMG models, there hasn't been much to set the C-Class apart in the entry-level luxury/sport segment, leading to the model being regarded by many as "The Cheap Mercedes." No, it's certainly not a bad car, but for our money, it hasn't stood up particularly well to competitors like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4.
So with the handsome new CLA-Class coming to round off the entry-level end for Mercedes-Benz, big plans are in store for the C-Class. We can see some evidence of that in this latest set of spy shots from our friends at CarPix. According to earlier reports, the new C-Class will be "far more dramatic" in the visuals department, and while the sedan's sculpting is still covered by camo, the much sleeker headlamp design we see here is, at the very least, a good start. The car's overall size is expected to grow a bit to further distance itself from the CLA, though thanks to lightweight materials, curb weight isn't expected to increase.
Just like the current model, the new C-Class is expected to use four- and six-cylinder engines, both gas- and diesel-fed, and overall power output for the global engine range should span from 120-ish on the low end to as much as 330. These new engines are expected to be mounted lower and farther rearward than before, offering better balance for both rear- and 4Matic all-wheel drive configurations. And as for that AMG? Rumors suggest a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 will fall underhood.
Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
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.
