Benz 560SEC: A meticulous paint restoration was done by Advantage Auto works, in North Richland Hills, TX at a cost of $8,500. All molding taken off, clips replaced, windshields removed and reinstalled with new gaskets. All moldings and cladding blacked out. There are no dings or scratches. The car was recently wet sanded to remove any shrinkage and orange peel. AMG wheels installed along with Continental DWS tires. Driver's side bolster and center armrest were re-skinned. Installed new fog lights and used European headlamps. Replaced ignition wires, freeze plug on right side of engine and replaced engine mounts and shock. Replaced front grill. Replaced ignition cylinder and key. Replaced front brakes and calipers. Reverse flush engine and install cooler thermostat. Replaced O2 sensor, gaskets on the intake manifolds, replaced air cleaner, replaced the fuel injectors, replaced flange, air filter, guide and fuel intake hose. Replaced incorrect fuel pump relay and ECU. Replaced fuel accumulator and temperature sensor. Replaced valve stem seals. Replaced front control arms and 2 front tires in January 2013, as the tires were cupped do to the worn suspension parts. The suspension has been lowered with H&R springs and new Bilstein struts. The front end was entirely re-bushed and the left front tie rod end was replaced along with the lower control arms. The transmission was rebuilt within the last 3 months. While the car shows very well, there is a small blister on the right rear quarter panel, just above the wheel well. The recommended fix is to cut out the metal 2” around the blister and weld in new metal. I will have the repair done if the buyer meets the Buy-it Now price. $25,000 invested after the car was purchased. This 2 owner, low mileage, meticulous restoration is a rare example of an extraordinary vehicle. The car was hand built and was Mercedes flag ship in 1991. It sold new for $84,000. This was the last year of production of the 560SEC and benefited from upgrades based on production and warrantee experience. For someone who knows these cars, values the workmanship and what has been done, this is a great value. Zims Autotecnik in Bedford, TX and Park Place Mercedes in Grapevine, TX performed the mechanical work done in Texas. I have all receipts for work that I had performed and I can send a spreadsheet of the expenses I have incurred since I have owned the car. While I have confidence in the car and the work performed, I urge an independent inspection be done on the car, which is a prudent practice prior to purchasing any vehicle. I have taken much satisfaction in bringing the car back to its original glory and driving has it been a pleasure. I have moved on to other projects and can only park 4 cars under cover. Having more than 4 classic cars would stress my wife in the extreme. My wife is a keeper, so the car is being placed on eBay.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head
Fri, Sep 4 2015Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

Daimler, Geely mull China as production hub for hybrid powertrains
Sun, Nov 22 2020FRANKFURT — Daimler and Geely on Friday said China could emerge as a manufacturing and export hub for hybrid powertrains jointly developed for Volvo and Mercedes-Benz cars. Earlier this week, Daimler said it would cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. The engines will be produced in China as well as in Europe, and Geely and Daimler will cooperate in engineering, sourcing and production, the companies said in a joint press release. "The export of the engine from China is considered to be an option," the release further said. Mercedes-Benz aims for more than half of its passenger car sales to be comprised of plug-in hybrids or purely electric vehicles by 2030. Geely is ChinaÂ’s most internationally known automaker. It owns Volvo Cars and Lotus, almost half of Proton and 9.7% of Daimler. Through wholly owned company Polestar, it builds low-volume Polestar 1 hybrid performance cars in the western city of Chengdu and Polestar 2 volume sedans in Taizhou in the east. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. The modular engine will be used in cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group, President and CEO of Geely Auto Group said: “This project reflects the need for economies of scale and targeted research and development investment in clean and highly efficient powertrains and hybrid drive systems and their applications." Geely also plans to build a plant with annual manufacturing capacity of 30,000 premium EVs in the western city of Chongqing, run by a wholly owned, newly registered company, according to documents on its website. Geely and Polestar declined to comment. The plan comes as foreign automakers including BMW AG and Tesla expand EV production in the worldÂ’s biggest market, sourcing major EV components such as batteries locally and often even exporting a portion of the vehicles it builds.  Auto News Earnings/Financials Green Plants/Manufacturing Mercedes-Benz Volvo Green Automakers Future Vehicles Hybrid
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
