Silver 2004 W209 Mercedes Clk320 Convertible on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Immaculate Benz convertible, with 73,800 original miles. Silver on charcoal leather, with black soft top. I've garaged kept it and you can tell the previous owners did as well. No accidents, clean carfax/carcheck, and a completely overhauled convertible system, no leaks in the roof either. Brand new front struts and brakes, and Goodyear Eagle Sport tires all around. Just had the convertible pneumatic pump and several limit switches replaced, so you won't have to worry about the top for years to come! Recent oil change with thousands of miles until Service A or B are due. I'm not the first owner, but was able to obtain the service history from MB, so no worries or surprises. Amazing gas mileage for a V6, car usually averages in the low-mid 20's city/hwy. Incredible handling and road manners, even with the 320, the car has unbelievable power when needed! I've owned a lot of cars, and this one is the most fun to drive on the highway. Both the heat and AC work like they should! Nice and warm, and super cold. The only physical flaws are small chips in the paint, and "curb scuffing" of the rims. If you would like specific pictures or have any questions, please feel free to ask and I would be happy to assist you. This must take place BEFORE you make an offer or click buy it now.
(The only malfunction on the car is the Tele Aid emergency phone system. HOWEVER, since the car is an 04, and the cell phone system is analog, it wouldn't work anyway since the US switched to digital in the mid 2000's. MB charges about 1500-2k to switch the phone system to digital. It's really not worth fixing. Also, the headlight washers are not working. Not sure if it's just a fuse or something else.) Features and Options: *Auto on Bi-level Xenon headlights, with halogen front and rear fog lights, with power headlight washers *Automatic rain sensing windshield wipers *5 Speed Automatic Transmission with Comfort or Sport Settings *Light blue solar tinted MB windows. *Automatic dimming rearview and side mirrors. * 205/55R16 V rated Goodyear Eagle Sport tires with 2300 miles on them.

AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
Ecclestone wonders if F1's upcoming turbo V6s should get augmented sound [w/videos]
Mon, 08 Apr 2013While every team on the Formula One grid is worried about making a good showing in this year's championship at the same time as they develop a brand-new car for next year's championship, Bernie Ecclestone and F1 circuit promoters have a different concern: how next year's cars will sound. The current cars use 2.4-liter, naturally-aspirated V8s that can reach 18,000 revolutions per minute and employ dual exhaust, next year's engine formula calls for 1.4-liter turbocharged V6s that are capped at 15,000 rpm and are constrained to a single exhaust outlet. Ecclestone and promoters like Ron Walker believe the new engines sound like lawnmowers and that the less thrilling audio will keep people from coming to races. If Walker's Australian Grand Prix really is shelling out almost $57 million to hold the race, every ticket counts. As a fix, according to a report in Autoweek, Ecclestone "suggests that the only way to guarantee [a good sound] may be to artificially adjust the tone of the V6s."
However, neither the manufacturers nor the governing body of F1, the FIA, think there will be a problem. Ecclestone fears that if the manufacturers "don't get it right" they'll simply leave the sport, but the only three carmakers and engine builders left next year, Renault (its 2014 "power unit" is pictured), Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari are so embedded that it would stretch belief to think they'd leave the table over an audio hiccup - if said hiccup even occurs. And frankly, these issues always precede changes to engine formulas, as they did when the formula switched from V10 to V8; fans, though, are probably less focused on the engines and more on the mandated standardization of the sport and the spec-series overtones that have come with it.
No one knows yet what next year's engines will sound like, but we've assembled a few videos below to help us all start guessing. The first is an engine check on an Eighties-era John Player Special Renault with a 1.5-liter V6 turbo, after that is Ayrton Senna qualifying in 1986 in the Lotus 98T that also had a 1.5-liter V6 turbo, then you'll find a short with a manufactured range of potential V6 engine notes, and then the sound of turbocharged V6 Indycars testing last year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Any, or none of them, could be Formula One's future.
