1993 Renn Tech Mercedes 500e on 2040-cars
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
From 1990 through 1994 Mercedes-Benz entered into a rare partnership with Porsche to built a High Performance version of their W124 called the Mercedes-Benz 500E. Each of these cars were hand built by Porsche. The process took 18 days and the car would be transported back and forth between the Mercedes and Porsche plants. The 500E had a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine that started its career in the 500SL Roadster. The 500E started with great track performance including a 0-60 MPH time of 5.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.1 seconds at 101 MPH.
Then... In 1998 with only 5,134 miles on the odometer this Mercedes Benz 500E began its journey to become a RENN Tech Mercedes 500E. RENNTech completed $109,460 worth of upgrades. The engine was completely rebuilt to become a 6.0L V-8 The engine received titanium connecting rods, upgraded camshaft, larger valves, higher compression, ported and polished heads, reprogrammed ECU, complete RENNTech stainless steel exhaust, tubular headers, high flow catalytic converters. The brakes used to stop this monster are 6 piston 14.1 brakes and mono ball link suspension and Torsen limited slip differential. RENNTech only created twelve of these Mercedes Benz 500E of which even fewer are out there today. This car is as close to one of a kind as you can get. Born and bread from arguably two of the greatest car companies and nurtured into an even more powerful beast by RENNTech, this is one fantastic sport sedan. |

Mercedes-AMG Hulks out again with new G63 test
Thu, Jan 15 2015The last time we saw Mercedes-Benz testing its camouflaged, lime-green G63 AMG, it was on the sunny roads of Germany. Perhaps recognizing that this was a tragic waste of its talents, Mercedes has now moved testing of its new brute to the windy, snowy tarmac of Sweden. Besides being a far more suitable environment for its monstrous G-Wagen, Mercedes' arrival in Scandinavia gives us yet another look at its 6x6-inspired updates. Judging by the license plates, this is the exact same vehicle we spotted way back in November, which gave us our original look at the impending arrival of the G's hoisted-up ride height, more aggressively flared fenders and meatier off-road-ready tires. As with our previous report, our spies are still arguing that the next G63 will be fitted with Mercedes' 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V8. That means as much as 544 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque will be on tap, and it'll all be dispatched via a seven-speed automatic transmission. The next G-Wagen is still on pace for a debut this year, although we still aren't sure where. Forced to put money on it, we'd bet on a European show, likely March's Genevan extravaganza or September's Frankfurt show.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
New Mercedes-Maybach concept set to debut at 2018 Beijing Motor Show
Fri, Apr 13 2018Mercedes-Maybach builds some of the most kitted out and opulent production cars in the world. Think of the Maybach S 560 and S 650 as a Mercedes S-Class taken to the next level of luxury. Today, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a new teaser for what looks like a concept for a new EV. The car is set to debut in just a few weeks at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show. This might be the Maybach SUV we reported on a few weeks back. It's difficult to make out too many details, but it definitely looks different than the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 that we've seen floating around for the past couple of years. A close-up shot of the steering wheel shows the soft blue glow that Mercedes has put on the EQ-branded concept cars. Other images show clean white leather, rose gold trim and a pair of seats flanking a flower-encrusted panel. All the shots appear to be of the concept's interior, so we can't say for sure that this is the rumored Maybach SUV. Either way, it's sure to be just as luxurious and formidable as anything the automaker currently has on the road. We're hoping they come up with another G-Class Landaulet.
