1992 Mercedes Benz 500e on 2040-cars
Sag Harbor, New York, United States
|
The sportsman in a suit - Mercedes 500E In the early 1990’s if you were rich, wanted to go very fast and wanted 4 seats there weren’t many options. When it arrived, the 500E caused quite a stir. A massive V8, 4 speed automatic gear box and a stunning wide body that is subtle enough so that only people who know what it is look at it. In 1992 the 500E was the fastest production sedan in the world, with 150 mph top speed, and 0 – 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. This was the Mercedes muscle car. The high-performance variant of the W124 is considered by many to be father of the modern factory production V8 Super Sedan, whose bloodlines live on today in the form of the E63 AMG. Each car took an unheard-of 18 days to complete, hand-built at Porsche (in the same facility that previously built the 959) with special flared bodywork, modified SL suspension, SL brakes, Recaro seats, and powered by a naturally-aspirated, all aluminum 5.0L V8 making 322 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. This Smoke Silver 500E is an extremely well-kept example true to original form. In and out it is clean as a whistle. No after market modifications have been made allowing for a true experience as it was intended. Included with this 500E are complete original owners handbooks and leather folio, thorough and impressive service records and receipts totaling over $35,000. Great care went into sourcing original and appropriate parts along the way to keep this vehicle unaltered. The engine is very strong and runs extra smooth. The transmission was professionally rebuilt in house at MB in Germany at 95K miles. The majority of the miles came from its life as a ballistic missile on west coast highways. I'm the first owner to bring it to the northeast, where it currently rests in a lush heated garage awaiting beautiful sunny days and clear roads. All of the cornerstone maintenance is well detailed in the included treasure chest of documentation along with receipts. The body is in excellent condition - No accidents, no dents, no rust with only minor nicks and scratches. Front air dam does have a small cosmetic tear that was there when I bought it. Clear coat has thinned in a couple spots due to weather, primarily on top of the front fenders. It's imperfections allow for a completely immersive driving experience without having to worry about putting that horrific very first scratch on a brand new machine or fully restored classic. This machine is meant to be driven, fast. It's not meant to sit in a garage collecting dust. That being said it’s not far from perfect. The original Mercedes wheels are crisp. No curb rash and damage free. Doors open and close as they should. The chrome trim is beautiful, the rubber components and seals are like new. Sit down in the premium leather wrapped 19 way, powered Recaro seats and you'll feel as though you entered a brand new car. The interior is immaculate. This car has never been smoked in. The leather and carpeting is so clean you'll wonder how the vehicle acquired its milage. The Blaupunkt stereo never worked while I've owned the car and I just couldn't bring myself to replace it with non-OEM equipment. Can't say I ever missed it though. The sound coming from the engine bay is entertaining enough for me. The classic Mercedes Dash board is free of cracks, the center console wood is in very good condition as well. AC blows cold and working perfectly. The Legendary, successful and famous engine (MB-Code M119) used for over 10 years in different models is working with no issues. All the power is there as you would expect from 5.0 V8. There are no expenses spared in order to keep this engine healthy. The most recent service includes a new battery, new ignition coils, new alternator, complete tune up, new oil pump, CO2 sensor, new belts, wires and hoses, cooling system service, among others. Consult the summary of service sheet for more detail. The genuine, untampered nature of this particular machine increases not only it's rarity, but future collectability and value. As time passes these models will only be more sought after. I am open to your best offer or specific questions. Serious buyers will be appreciated.

Mercedes rolls out the long red carpet for new Maybach S600 Pullman [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015Remember when the S-Class was the S-Class and that was it? The pinnacle of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, at least as far as sedans were concerned. But those days are long behind us. Now there's a coupe as well (bringing the former CL back into the fold), a convertible on its way, the uber-luxe Maybach limo and this: the new Pullman. The creme de la creme of the Silver Star range, His Excellency Field Marshall Dr. Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Dada – as it's known in full, at least with the twelve-cylinder engine – is... well, it's enormous. It's bigger than the old Maybach 62 it essentially replaces and bigger even than an extended-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom. And why would you need a vehicle so large? Well, you wouldn't. And neither would we. But there are some, shall we call them "unelected heads of state" who would accept no less. They're the customers who favored the original, and 50 years later, they're the ones who'll be snapping up the new one. (The little wavy flags on the front fenders are optional.)
Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive goes on sale in Europe, Spain gets Nissan Leaf taxis
Wed, Oct 22 2014The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive goes on sale in Europe on November 3, with deliveries starting before the end of the year. Developed with the help of Tesla, the new electric B-Class offers more than 132 kilowatts (177 horsepower) and 250 pound-feet of torque. It features Economy Plus, Economy and Sport driving modes. An optional radar support system uses the collision prevention assist sensors to help make smarter decisions about when and how to use the regenerative braking. The B-Class Electric Drive also offers an optional Range Plus button, which can unlock more battery capacity when charging for the occasional longer drive. Learn more in the press release below. Racing returns to the streets of Miami for the first time in more than a decade for the Formula E Miami ePrix on March 14, 2015. Formula E has revealed the track layout, which takes the race around the Miami Heat's home court, American Airlines Arena, along the Biscayne Bay. "This event will help to make Miami more of a sports city," says Mayor Thomas Regalado. "In addition, we will show the younger generations that you may have motor racing without noise or pollution." Read more about the event at the Formula E website and see the track layout in detail here. Hyundai has delivered the first ix35 Fuel Cell vehicles to customers in the UK, including clean energy company ITM Power. ITM is responsible for three of the hydrogen refueling stations being built around the EU as part of the Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles project - the same project that helped bring the Hyundai ix35 (also known as the Tucson) Fuel Cell to Europe. ITM's 700-bar hydrogen stations will be built in London by Spring 2015, each with its own electrolyzer system on site. In the meantime, ITM will use the ix35 for commutes between London and Sheffield, refueling at a site that uses wind-generated electricity from an on-site turbine to power the electrolyzer to make the hydrogen.

Aluminum supplier Novelis says demand will likely increase 30 percent annually for the next 10 years in China, Japan and Korea, and possibly more depending on how China's plan to increase EV use and decrease air pollution shakes out.

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is business class without the jet lag
Thu, Nov 21 2019Mercedes-AMG demonstrated how sporty a mammoth SUV can be by unveiling the 2021 GLS 63 S at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. Across the Pacific, at the Guangzhou auto show in China, Mercedes-Maybach revealed another GLS variant that puts an unabashed focus on comfort. The 2021 GLS 600 ends years of rumors by finally taking Maybach into the SUV segment. (If you don't count the limited-edition G 650 Landaulet). It's not a standalone model developed from the ground up, and it's in no way related to the electric Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept introduced in 2018. It's a second-generation GLS dressed up in a Hugo Boss suit. Stylists spruced up the front end with Maybach's chromed waterfall grille and mesh inserts in the lower part of the bumper. An abundance of chrome trim (including big slabs of it in on the B-pillars) and Maybach emblems on the D-pillars further set the SUV apart from its non-Maybach-badged sibling. Buyers can order a two-tone paint job at an extra cost. 6.8-foot-long running boards automatically extend from under the body about a second after one of the passengers opens a door. Designers took advantage of the cavernous interior to replace the second- and third-row seats with a pair of business class-like chairs that offer heated, ventilated, massaging and reclining functions. Maybach developed the GLS with chauffeur-driven buyers in mind, so the passengers traveling in the back benefit from their own infotainment system with wireless headphones, folding tablets, wireless device chargers, plus heated and cooled cupholders. Alternatively, buyers can order the GLS as a five-seater with a three-person rear bench. The GLS 600 receives the twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 engine that's omnipresent in the Mercedes range. It delivers 550 horsepower from 6,000 to 6,500 rpm and 538 pound-feet of torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm in this application, and it spins the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes pegs its zero-to-60-mph time at 4.8 seconds. The standard 48-volt mild hybrid system briefly gives the GLS 600 an additional 21 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It also sends the kinetic energy it recuperates to the battery pack while braking or coasting, and powers a technology named E-Active Body Control which scans the road ahead and adjusts the suspension as needed if it detects a pothole, a bump or another obstacle.
