The 2019 Mercedes-AMG C63 Gets a New Mouth and More Gears
It’s mid-cycle refresh time for the Mercedes-AMG C63, and that means there’s a new face, a new transmission and new driving modes for the up-to-509 horsepower V8 Muscledes-Benz. Let’s start with the important bits: the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is unchanged, and makes 469 horsepower in basic AMG C63 guise or 503 ponies if you go with the AMG C63S. Both trims an be had as either a convertible, a wagon (in Europe), a sedan or a coupe. There’s no indication that the long-roof variant will be coming to the U.S. this time, but that’s never stopped us from hoping before. But what’s not unchanged is the old “Speedshift MCT” seven-speed automatic transmission, as it’s been swapped out for an AMG “Speedshift MCT 9G,” a nine-speed that, like the seven-speed before it, uses a wet “start-off clutch” in place of a torque converter. This, Mercedes says, “allows faster bursts of speed and more spontaneous … [Read more...] about The 2019 Mercedes-AMG C63 Gets a New Mouth and More Gears

Opel teases new “bold and pure” design language
Teaser for Opel concept introducing “bold and pure” design languageEnlarge PhotoOpel announced Wednesday plans to unveil a new concept car by the end of the year. The concept, previewed in a single teaser shot, will introduce Opel's new design language “bold and pure,” which the German brand will use to mark its new era away from the control of former parent General Motors. Coinciding with its arrival will also be a new brand strategy emphasizing Opel's German roots and accessible offerings. The bold and pure design language is said to feature strong proportions, simple but sculptural surfaces, bold graphics, and only a few well executed details. It's an evolution of themes we already saw on Opel's GT sports car concept (shown below) unveiled in 2016. Key to the design will be a new face where two strong axes intersect at a prominent logo in the front grille. The vertical axis will be emphasized by a central hood crease while the horizontal will be emphasized by … [Read more...] about Opel teases new “bold and pure” design language

2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class – all new, inside and out
After numerous teasers, spyshots and leaks, the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class has finally been unveiled at the 2018 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The iconic Geländewagen has been thoroughly redeveloped inside and out, putting this behemoth firmly into the 21st century. That may be so, but the G-Class is nowadays as much a fashion item as it is a robust go-anywhere machine, and the designers took great care not to mess with a winning design. The boxy body remains, but the front fascia is more fluid, incorporating elements from Mercedes’ Sensual Purity design language. The round headlights, for example, are now full LED, with ring-shaped daytime running lights around the perimeter. The front and rear bumpers are also better integrated into the overall design, as are the square wheel arches – Mercedes says that they look less like add-on items now. The company has also worked to minimise panel gaps and improve surface quality with the move to the … [Read more...] about 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class – all new, inside and out
