It’s official, confirmed the Mercedes and intends to develop a rival to the Porsche 911 that will be placed in the range under the SLS AMG, which will be named SLC.

Several rumors announced, the German manufacturer has just put an end to the waiting and speculation. The SLS AMG is going to have a little sister and it will take the surname of SLC. This is a future rival of the Porsche 911 that will emerge in the coming years. Specifically, the future SLC should be launched in 2014 for a price of around 90,000 euros. The style of the car should take the new models as Class A or SCC but the design of the baby SLS will also be given to the sports department of the brand to the Star, AMG. Contrary to the SLS, the SLC should not opt for butterfly doors. This information of the arrival of the SLC was confirmed by two sources. The first is none other than the President himself Mercedes who said that the SLC will have a motor which will place it under the SLS AMG. The second source is the chief designer of the brand that it has confirmed the name SLC to our British colleagues to AutoExpress. As for the engines of much speculation and it seems that the entry-level model can receive a V6 while the most powerful version could be equipped with a V8. we expecting to see land by next year a concept from Mercedes which will prefigure the style of the future SLC.

While Mercedes is preparing the new generation E-Class, the German manufacturer has just produced the 500,000 th copy of the W212 sedan.

This is a new course that has just passed the model of the mark to the Star. Launched in 2009, this generation W212 E-Class has just seen the 500,000 th copy out of the assembly lines of the Sindelfingen plant in Germany. This is a very good figure for the Germanic sedan with nearly 60 after its launch and nearly 10 million units since that time, three years on the market, this latest generation of the E-Class still has a bright future ahead. Beautiful day, but not forever, since Mercedes already working on the new generation of the model we saw the first pictures spies at the beginning of March. However the E-Class facelift should not happen before 2013. For the record, the 500,000 th copy that came out of assembly lines is for an American buyer and it is a E350 4MATIC in a refinishing Arctic White. There are still some months before the new generation for the W212 Mercedes E-Class is a little more commercialized.

Mercedes, there are real AMG, as the SLS or the C 63 AMG, and then those like an ordinary Class C is adorned with a decorative Christmas package AMG.

But at Mercedes, as we sold the SLS like hot cakes (more than 5000 copies), we say that there is an untapped niche in the brand with the star and which would allow rapid margins and profits: creating a branch of special vehicles, supercars what!

And what better than to feed the buzz to say that we want to just address a popular reference of its kind? Miss 911 …

And that Christoph Jung, director of development of the AMG division, which dropped the piece: ” There is room for a model under the SLS AMG , targeting the Porsche 911. This is the next market for AMG, we consider the best mix “…

A garage in Santa Monica, California (United States), has hosted for nearly 40 years a rare, very rare Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing Special Edition , version sports performed in only 29 copies and that, in total indifference.

It could almost be an archaeological find ,: under inches of dust and disdain, collectors have unearthed the treasure and journalists of the Edmonton Journal have revealed the discovery.

It all started in 1971: Tom Wellmer receives the Special Edition from 1955 as a gift from a graduate. Months pass and the sport begins to transmission problems. The owner loses interest and will never repair the car.

Why not? After the explosive cut C63 Black Series, AMG uses the same recipe to the sedan.

Because there is patronage on AMG sedan versions, sedan or coupe, there will necessarily for Black Series finishes on each of them.

The 6.2L V8 517 hp 6800 rev and torque of 620 Nm equipment is changing rear limited slip differential, new wheels 19 “with brake discs of 390 mm front and 360 mm in back.

An aero kit as the cut should be as available and a semi slick tires,. AMG Speedshift box is also expected to exploit the cavalry.

Well, it would be presumptuous to comment on any style about this new S-Class still hiding under the covers plastics.

The only probable indication as to the general appearance is that the grille seems to be gaining vertical , making it perhaps more imposing style and the future S-Class

Under the hood, there will be diesel, big V8 petrol engine and certainly a hybrid, so as not to leave too much room for Lexus that the teeth particularly long in this market. A presentation in Frankfurt 2012, a 2013 marketing seems good timing to unless it is done on a living room where the big Asian limousine devout worshipers.

Harry Metcalfe journalists from a British car magazine EVO has been behind the wheel of  the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster . But this time the test has not chosen to propose a trial where the adrenaline is the main protagonist as is usually the magazine.
