Rapper + Spray Paint + Mercedes = Rolling Art

Rapper + Spray Paint + Mercedes = Rolling Art
In an obvious attempt to stay cool and relevant, Mercedes-Benz recently hooked up with the Panda-masked German rapper CRO to let him loose with some spray paint cans to see what kind of art he could make out of a new CLA.…

Brabus Upgrades Mercedes S550 Plug-in Hybrid
The gang over at Brabus is well known for taking Mercedes-Benz cars and giving those lots more power and torque. The last time we spoke of them was when they coaxed 850hp from the C63 AMG coupe.…

The Next Mercedes E-Class Could Have Highway Autopilot

The Next Mercedes E-Class Could Have Highway Autopilot
There’s probably a certain kind of driving that you, as a gearhead, genuinely wishes you had an autonomous car for: long stints of highway driving. I love my short morning drive to work.…

Who Wants a Mercedes Sprinter63 AMG?

Who Wants a Mercedes Sprinter63 AMG?
Yes, I know it’s April Fools’ Day, and this is not going to be a production car, unfortunately. The funny thing is this: whenever I see Bart Herring, Mercedes-Benz’ North American General Manager of Product Management, I make him try to make the case for a few stupid cars.…

Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 6×6 Turns up on eBay
Mercedes-Benz and AMG only made a handful of its over-the-top G63 6X6 off-roaders before ending production, and presumably most of them went to sheiks, oil magnates and other insanely wealthy show-offs.…

Mercedes-Benz Autonomous Concept Spotted in SF

Mercedes-Benz Autonomous Concept Spotted in SF
As much as I like driving, I really like the idea of autonomous cars. I can see trips with the family being much more fun if I didn’t have to focus on driving and could focus on seeing the sights with my family.…

The Best Sounding Emergency Vehicle

The Best Sounding Emergency Vehicle

The Mercedes-AMG GT3 Looks Awesome

The Mercedes-AMG GT3 Looks Awesome
I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a Mercedes fan-boy. I’m impressed by the company’s history, respect the dedication to automotive safety, love AMG’s craziness and willingness to make stupid cars like the R63, and am also a sucker for the trappings of the wealthy and dangerous.…

The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Is Glorious Dictator-Chic
We’ve all been waiting to see just how over-the-top and magnificent the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman would turn out to be, and now we can. It’s 21.3 feet of insane, private jet-like luxury, and it costs “around half a million euros.”…
