Mercedes-Benz R-Class to come to India remains unconfirmed

Mercedes-Benz R-Class

Due tothe successful launch of Mercedes Benz R-Class at the New York International Auto Show last March, the new-generation R-Class might as well come to India. But when contacted by wheelsunplugged.com to confirm the report, Dr. Wilfried Aulbur, managing director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said that they have ‘lots of surprises for the (Indian) market’ but refused to give comments about the release of Benz R-class in the country.

The latest addition to the MB fleet retains the high-class appeal and prestige of classic Mercedes-Benz luxury-class saloons, and the interior versatility of its predecessor. The appeal of the R-Class is also enhanced by a range of optimized diesel engines.

Daimler AG Board of Management member Dr. Thomas Weber said: “We have reworked the R-Class completely, thereby adding to its appeal and enhancing its premium qualities, but without losing any of the advantages of this unique vehicle concept. On top of this, our BlueEFFICIENCY strategy makes the R-Class the most economical and environmentally friendly MPV in the premium segment.”a

Mercedes-Benz SLS Gullwing AMG E-Cell Prototype

Although the name may be quite long-winded, preview shots of the E-Cell Gullwing have been released, and, well, it’s certainly wants attention. Electric cars of the late have been mostly boring, dreary creations designed by those who are just as bland. This just rewrites the rulebook though.

The electric-only power is supplied by four motors, located close to each wheel. They combine to give a total output of 392kW so the aluminium-framed chassis will power off to 100km/h in just four seconds.

AMG says the energy for all this comes from a lithium polymer battery pack that can offer up to 480kW.

The SLS AMG E-Cell comes in its own ion-savvy colour too, coded Lumilectric Mango, which means… umm. Check out the huge LCD screen in the centre fascia! The screen displays everything you need and could need to know about the electricity states, and it does all the other driver comfort stuff too.

Mercedes-Benz CLC Will Not Enter Production Post 2010

Mercedes-Benz CLC

New models of the Mercedes-Benz CLC will not celebrate the new year with us as the company plans to end production of the vehicle by the end of the year. The move comes after the small hatchback based on the last-generation (W203) C-Class platform failed to attract enough customers across the world.

The current-generation CLC was introduced in several markets in 2008 but was never bought to North America. That was because company’s C Class Sports Coupe had failed to impress the Americans and had recorded low sales numbers.

The CLC currently is being produced at Benz’s Juiz de Fora facility in Brazil, which will be undergoing changes in its production line. Mercedes plans to repurpose the plant to build trucks and high-end Accelo Actros.

Lorinser Previews Their Own 2011 Mercedes CLS

Mercedes tuner Lorinser has already come up with an imaginary kit for an imaginary new-look Mercedes CLS! Well, it’s not that imaginary to be honest, Mercedes has already shown us a shooting brake concept which kinda previewed the looks of the new CLS, and there has been a couple of revealing spyshots showing that the actual car is very close to what you see here.

So yes, Lorinser is the first to announce a package for the new CLS, but what they got?! Based on what we see, it’s a traditional Lorinser body kit with modified bumpers, a new bonnet, Lorinser famous side gills, Lorinser wheels and of course a bootlid spoiler and a diffuser. This kit actually looks pretty nice on the yet-to-be-revealed CLS!

The German tuner also will also provide different upgrade programs for the car’s interior as well as engine and suspension.
