2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG – Second Drive
A Hallelujah spin in the New Church of the revived Gullwing. Let’s start with an unassailable premise: in a corporate history overflowing with exceptional automobiles, few if any have more enduring cachet than the Mercedes-Benz 300SL gullwing coupes of 1955–57. It’s no exaggeration to call them automotive immortals, which makes the prospect of a contemporary sequel downright daunting to those responsible for its execution—the denizens of AMG, Mercedes’ in-house performance division.

Beast of Eden: To a landscape loved by Steinbeck, in a silver star with wings. Thomas Steinbeck is too quick for my note taking, so I put a tape recorder on him as well. The exclamations, the damning anecdotes, and the careening non sequiturs are firing off as if dispensed by the fuel injectors of the Mercedes SLS’s 563-hp V-8. Keep Reading:...
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG will roll into showrooms this July with subtle visual changes. The SUV scores new darkened headlight surrounds, tinted LED taillights, and the hood from the ML450 hybrid , which features subtle power bulges. Otherwise, the ML63 remains essentially unchanged for the new model year, retaining its 503-hp, 6.2-liter...
More proof that an electric future wouldn’t be all bad. While we remain somewhat skeptical of electric cars, we acknowledge that the latest prototypes are getting far more interesting. Last December, Audi let us drive the R8-based E-Tron in California, and we came away impressed by its 313 hp and a level of refinement we’ve never before experienced...
We spot the upcoming CLS (mostly) uncovered; and our house remains divided. Born in 2004, the Mercedes-Benz CLS defines sleek, its elegant body seemingly drawn entirely from the simple sweep of the body-side crease. In the car business, falling in love with a design is dangerous, but we did. As previous spy shots (and one frightening concept said...
Originally published in Sports Cars Illustrated in April 1956. So you can’t climb Everest, you can’t have Monroe, and you’re not likely ever to ride a rocket to the moon.

Enter the turbo: the S-class’s high-revving party is over. The era of high-revving, naturally aspirated engines has passed its zenith at Mercedes-Benz’s AMG performance division.

Mercedes changes the nose on its not-a-minivan, but leaves pretty much everything else alone. What Is It? We’re not exactly sure. This not-an-SUV, not-a-wagon, not-even-a-crossover is Mercedes-Benz’s version of the people mover. Seats for six are standard and an optional second-row bench increases capacity to seven. With the seats down the...
A slightly reshaped exterior hides a new twin-turbo V-8 and sky-high tech for 2011. As rare a sight as the Mercedes-Benz CL-class coupe is (unless you live in Beverly Hills or Monte Carlo) the arrival of a new one—or even a refreshed one, as is the case here—is nevertheless newsworthy. For 2011, the S-class ’s two-door sibling (which...

Mercedes E-Cell Prototype Unveiled (Pics)
[Autos]
The car generates 525 horsepower, about 10 percent less than the 6.3-liter V-8-powered SLS AMG, and accelerates to 62 mph in just 4.0 seconds, 0.2 seconds behind the gas-powered car. The quick time is no doubt attributable largely to the all-wheel drive layout of the E-Cell.
