1970 - Mercedes-benz 300-series on 2040-cars
Bradenton Beach, Florida, United States
For sale is a wonderful example of legendary Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3, MB factory code W109 E63, mother of all modern AMG 63-series. Sought after combination of electric sunroof and air-condition. Repainted 2011 in classic navy-blue colour code 904. First stamp in warranty book made by a Las Vegas Mercedes dealer in April 1970. Performance still pretty surprising for unexperienced drivers. Automatic gearbox including "kick-down" is working accurately. I only used kick-down at a speed of 50 mph in order to be nice to drivetrain. Still running 220 km/h on German Autobahn representing 137 mph. Car comes with 5 Fuchs-alloys in correct size of 6,5'' x 14'' and 5 Michelin XWX tires. 4 additional factory steel wheels equipped with 195/70 winter tires. I purchased this car from a collector in California in 2010 with 55.000 miles (odometer) and took it to Germany for a deeper technical restoration. The interior has been done completely in the U.S. before shipping. - new leather seats, armrests, B-columns and lower window-frame in blue leather OEM-quality - new velours carpets and isolating mats underneath - new headliner - grey alcantara interior for glove-box - restoration of all Macassar ebony wooden parts (dashboard, door trim, window-trim) at Madera Concept in Santa Barbara This mechanically excellent Mercedes was rust-free when I purchased it, so only a few conversions to European standard had to be made e.g. removing sidemarkers and license plate lights. In 2010 a thorough mechanical inspection has been made at HK-Engineering (specialized on 300 SL coupés and roadsters) followed by restoration and maintenance works on - fuel injection pump (full restoration with galvanized parts including detailled report) - renewal of water pipes - engine valve adjustement - oil-maintenance of axles and gearbox - air condition with refill of modern-standard liquid All cylinders with good compression (report can be shown). Only 2.000 miles driven after restoration. Air bellows are in good shape; main air valve (engine compartment) will be done before shipping. I have to let this beauty go for lack of time and space and decided to offer it back to the US-collector's market. It has seen Mercedes Benz plant in "Sindelfingen" twice in it's life: 1970 and 2010. I can assist with shipping, however all costs for shipping, handling and tax must be carried by buyer. If you need further information and pictures, please don't hesitate to ask !

Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is the luxury car for the discerning dictator
Fri, Mar 16 2018For decades, Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach cars have been the ride of choice for leaders across the globe, presidents, ambassadors, dictators and despots alike. The Pullman model — a long-wheelbase six-seat variant — has been particularly popular with this select clientele. This week, the German automaker announced the latest version of the car, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S650. Essentially, this is a stretched version of the V12-powered Maybach with two rear-facing seats just behind the front row. Mercedes is calling this vis-a-vis seating. There's also a partitioning glass between the front seats and the rear cabin. This is of course to help prevent the chauffeur from learning and spilling any state secrets or plans for plans for secret moon bases. New for this model is a front-facing camera for rear-seat passengers. This allows occupants to watch for any oncoming obstacles, barricades or road blocks. Visually, there's no mistaking the Pullman for another Maybach or really anything else on the road. The car is 21.3-feet long, 4.5-feet longer than the standard Maybach or roughly the size of two and a half Smart Fortwo placed bumper-to-bumper. The requisite 20-inch 10-hole wheels are present and the standard pinstripe Maybach grille has been updated with a slightly new design. The car only comes in S650 trim, meaning it's powered by a 630 horsepower 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12. As expected, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman isn't cheap. Orders have started, but be prepared to shell out at least $615,000 before adding any custom touches.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
