The car will be equipped with a V6 gasoline engine, as well as with new lithium-ion batteries, which are capable to produce more than 10 kW. With this system, the new sedan will be able to move in fully electric mode up to 30 km. The hybrid module provides output of 60 hp (44 kW). The car will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.

With regard to fuel consumption, car will show incredible 3.2 L/100 km, with only 72 gr/100km CO2 emissions.

“The Vision 500 Plug-in HYBRID is a new milestone on our path toward zero-emission mobility,” says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars. “It is a luxurious and safe S Class that offers superior driving performance while at the same time consuming less fuel than current compacts. All of this shows that our top models will also be able to combine automotive fascination with responsibility for the environment.”

“Although it will take some time before this model can go into series production, our engineers will be working full steam to carry out the necessary integration measures and ensure that all components can meet the tough everyday demands required of a luxury long-distance saloon,” says Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG with responsibility for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.

Mercedes-Benz B-Klasse, which served as the basis for the new Concept Blue Zero vehicles has immediately spawned three new models.

Mercedes Blue Zero E-Cell is a classic electric car with its own advantages and disadvantages, among which the short path range, which is only 200 km, although it should be noted that this disadvantage is common for most electric cars.

Another model of the same class, the Blue Zero E-Cell Plus is a hybrid, equipped with both electric and gasoline engines, which increase the distance run up to 600 km. The fuel consumption is very small, just 2.9 liters per hundred km, but this is another plus in favor of eco-friendliness.

The third option would be a model for fans of the hydrogen engine (400 km).

The cost of these cars is unknown, as these are still concept vehicles, but it will be clearly higher than that of gasoline counterparts.

According to the director of the AMG studio Volker Mornhinweg, the new supercar will receive four electric engines with a total capacity of 532 horsepower. This installation will be at the expense of lithium-ion batteries.

By the way, the manufacturer promises up to 150-180 kilometers non-stop journey. After which you will certainly need to put the supercar’s battery to charge for 8 hours.

The dynamics of the car is said to be excellent. If the gasoline version can reach up to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds, the electrical car can do the same in 4 seconds, when the maximum speed of the car is 200 kilometers per hour.

AMG is going to deal with testing the power setup of the electric supercar at the end of this year. And by 2015, the Germans are planning to launch production of their new civilian car.

The well-known German publication “Autobild” placed the photos on its pages, allowing tolook at the new car Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing from all angles. Taking into account the fact that the company Mercedes-Benz published the official photos of the interior of the super car a few weeks ago, we can say that the image of the successor to the legendary 300SL Gullwing is completely declassified.

The car, the exterior of which harmoniously combines contemporary fashion and retro-style, debuted last September at the international motor show in Frankfurt. Under the hood of the German sports car the 571 strong engine V8 with a capacity of 6.2 litres is located. The engine is connected with a seven-level gearbox with two clutches, which will help the model to pick the first “hundred” in 3.8 seconds and extend acceleration up to 315 km / hr, informs the WCF.

The cost of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing coupe will be approximately $200,000. After two years in the market an open version (cabriolet) of the model will be produced.

As previously reported, the new ML will receive a fairly blatant appearance in the style of the large GL. But under the hood of the car the company wants to establish not only the usual V6 and V8, but the new 2.2-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine, which thanks to modern technology gives quite decent 204 hp. At the top of the same scale would be ML 55 AMG – the car will have 571 hp (now the most powerful version of ML is the ML 63 AMG, which has a 6.2-liter engine, which develops 510 hp).

The exact date of the presentation of the new Mercedes-Benz ML has not yet been reported. Most likely, the car will be show next autumn at the motor show in Paris, whereas serial production SUV will begin only in 2011.

Under the hood of S63 AMG there is a 6.3-liter V8 engine, developing 525 hp. The output of the 6.5-liter V12engine, standing under the hood of a second car is 612 hp. With such power units dispersed cars accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds (S65 AMG), and in 4.2 seconds (S63 AMG). Maximum speed of both vehicles is 250 km/h.

63 AMG is equipped with original gearbox AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic, while S65 AMG has 5-speed automatic transmission.

Cars have received a new form of arrow-shaped radiator grill with dual chrome crossbar, LED daylight lamp LED, a new design of the rear quad exhaust pipes and rear diffuser.

S63 AMG is available in the database with 19-inch wheels, S65 uses 20-inch wheels. For an additional fee larger diameter wheels can be installed on the S63.

The interior of the updated S-Class models is trimmed in leather, it sports seats are available from the atelier of AMG with massage function.

With regard to electronic systems, which Mercedes cars are equipped with, the list of equipment includes the addition of standard ABS and ESP, sport suspension, Active Body Control, the brakes automatically adjusts the force on the brake pad, brake system Torque Vectoring Brake and intelligent set of Night View Assist with the pedestrians detection feature.

Sales of 2010Mercedes-Benz S63 and S65 AMG in Europe will begin later this month.

However, C-Class will not receive a simple engine. The car will begin to equip the new hybrid, which will consist of a fairly powerful electric motor and economical 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit.

Total power of the hybrid will be about 130 hp. Of course, this is not very much, but the customers love to save, so this will be enough. In fact, the average fuel consumption of Mercedes-Benz C-Class with the new hybrid will be about 4 liters per 100 km.

With regard to appearance, it is all more or less understandable. The new ML will get a very grave appearance in the style of large and small GL GLK. But under the hood of the car the manufacturer intends to establish not only the usual V6 and V8, but the new 2.2-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine, which thanks to modern technology gives quite decent 204 hp. At the top of the same scale would be the ML 55 AMG – the car will have 571 hp (now the most powerful version of ML is the ML 63 AMG, which has a 6.2-liter engine, 510 hp).

Mercedes-Benz BLK tentatively is scheduled to appear in the market in 2012 and take its place in the model number of German concern below the crossover GLK. It is anticipated that the design of the new vehicle, which will created based on a platform for B-Class, will be performed in a uniform style with the GLK.

According to the publication of Autobild, the car can be equipped with three turbo diesel engines powered with 175, 204 and 225 hp, as well as petrol engines powered with from 204 to 238 hp. Those customers who do not want traffic jams in the “pull” manual gearbox, the company will offer eight-automatic transmission.

It is expected that the new competitor of BMW X1 and Audi Q3 will cost approximately € 5 thousand cheaper than its “older brother” GLK.

Inside SLK 2LOOK “black and white” theme continues in the design finished with leather seats, steering wheel with control buttons on it, center console and door panels. Black velour mats and matt-white dashboard finish the image of the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz SLK 2LOOK will be issued in limited units. The price of the roadster will be 51 200 dollars in Europe.
