Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand

Wed, 22 Jun 2011

When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).

Fastest cars in the world by top speed, 0-60 and quarter mile

Tue, Feb 13 2024

A claim for the title of “Fastest Car in the World” might seem easy to settle. ItÂ’s actually anything but: Are we talking production cars, race cars or customized monsters? And what does “fastest” even mean? For years, car publications have tended to define “fastest” in terms of an unbeatable top speed. ThatÂ’s distinct from the “quickest” car in a Usain Bolt-style dash from the starting blocks, as with the familiar 0-60 mph metric. Professionals often focus on track lap times or elapsed time-to-distance, as with a drag racer thatÂ’s first to trip the beam of light at the end of a quarter-mile; or the 1,000-foot trip of nitromethane-powered NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car dragsters. Something tells us, however, that you're not seeking out an answer of "Brittany Force rewriting the NHRA record books with a 3.659-second pass at a boggling 338.17 mph." For most barroom speed arguments, the focus is firmly on cars you can buy in showrooms, even if many are beyond the financial means of all but the wealthiest buyers and collectors. Here are some of the enduring sources of speed claims, counter-claims, tall tales and taunting dismissals that are the lifeblood of car enthusiasts – now with EVs adding an unexpected twist to these passionate pursuits.   Fastest from the blocks: 0-60 mph Thirty years ago, any car that could clock 60 mph in five seconds or less was considered extremely quick. Today, high-performance, gasoline-powered sedans and SUVs are routinely breaking below 4 seconds. As of today, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 crushes all with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds. That's simply absurd, but keep in mind the Demon was engineered with the single-minded purpose of going fast in a straight line. It's also important to realize that direct comparisons are difficult, because not all of these times were accomplished with similar conditions (prepped surfaces, adjustments for elevation and so on). The moral here is to take these times with a tiny grain of salt. After the Dodge, the Rimac Nevera comes in with an officially recorded 0-60 mph time of just 1.74 seconds. EVs crowd the quickest list, with the Pininfarina Battista coming in a few hundredths slower (1.79 seconds) than the Nevera and the Lucid Air sapphire (1.89 seconds) right after that. Eventually, you arrive to the Tesla Model S Plaid, which has a claimed 1.99-second 0-60 mph time, though instrumented testing by Car and Driver shows it accomplishes the deed in 2.1 seconds.

Infiniti shows Q30 interior ahead of Frankfurt debut

Tue, Sep 1 2015

Infiniti is supposed to debut the all-new Q30 hatchback at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, but as the show is still a couple of weeks away and the company has elected to release yet another image, we aren't sure there'll be all that much to see come Sept. 15. With that in mind, then, we give you the first images of the entry-level hatch's cabin, and they're, um, wow. We knew the Q30 had a lot in common with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class but as these images show, this is far more than a common platform. The steering wheel, instrument cluster, switchgear, and shifter are direct from the Mercedes parts bin. From the looks of the images, the Q30 will even have a Mercedes-style key. This might not garner much attention in the budget ranks – take the Scion iA and Mazda2, for example – but this degree of parts sharing in the premium market is sure to raise some eyebrows. It's also a rather bewildering move for Infiniti. The company is, in effect, selling a Mercedes-Benz to any new customers it attracts. That'll certainly make a Q50 a hard sell when it comes time for an upgrade. Now, in Infiniti's defense, there are some differences in the layout here. The triple nozzle-style HVAC vents have been replaced with a more conventional pair of outlets, and the instrument cluster hood extends over the built-in navigation screen. That design decision, in particular, will certainly appeal to critics of the tacked-on-tablet look offered by Mercedes. The analog buttons for the multimedia system have also been tweaked, with the result looking far cleaner than the mess of buttons offered on Mercedes' products (we wouldn't be shocked to see this layout arrive on a facelifted A-, CLA-, or GLA-Class in the near future, though). Beyond those changes, though, there are multiple Mercedes design hallmarks here, including the location of the controls for the seat adjustments. You can check out the Q30's cabin in both right- and left-hand drive varieties courtesy of the images above. And for comparison's sake, we also included our most recent gallery of the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class at the bottom of the page. Have a look and be sure to scroll down for the official press release.

Q30 interior design echoes daring expression of exterior ?

DESCRIPTION
As the collector car market goes up and down, some special vehicles prove that a down economy just doesn’t apply to them the same as others. The Mercedes Benz 280SL roadster, or Pagoda, is definitely one of those vehicles. It has been on a soaring price increase over the last 5 years that is truly remarkable! And for good reason! When one looks at infamous Mercedes autos of the past, such as the SSK, 500K, 300SL Gullwing and roadster, you can easily find beautiful cars from each decade that has become a multi 6-figure investment. This is why many investors who have missed their opportunity have turned their attention to the 1970’s generation of Mercedes SL’s! These stunning cars offer superb design, increased driver refinements, and better performance to their owners making them not just excellent investment choices to hang on to, but wonderful cars to drive on today’s roads!

The St. Louis Car Museum is very excited to offer this 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda roadster finished in its original code correct Signal Red (568 H) over Parchment MB Tex interior and new black soft top! This car is simply gorgeous! Having only 4 estimated owners from new, it was preserved the way you only dream all cars could be! It began life in Northern California and made its way to Southern California by 1973. It was purchased by its second owner in May of that year and stayed in their care for the next 28 years! Moreover, this particular car was serviced by only Independent Mercedes Benz service centers the entire time! This includes all C, D, & E services that are fully documented in receipts that will be included. This vehicle has never been involved in an accident, and was professionally restored in 2001. The exterior paint, complete interior upholstery, carpet, dash & console wood were refinished, exterior chrome was re-plated, exterior emblems & mirror replaced for new, and all weather stripping window felts replaced. From the correct front fender guide marks to the near perfect pan in the trunk, it all shows as a testament to the impeccable care this vehicle has received over the years! Options include USA version VDO gauges, 4-speed floor shifted automatic transmission, Frigiking air conditioning, Becker Europa II AM/FM Stereo radio, matching hardtop with garnish moldings, outside rear view mirror, and power steering!

This car will come with service history back to 1973 with records showing yearly fluid flushes, chassis lubrication, new king pins, brakes, tires, fuel filters, air filters, repacked wheel bearings, spark plugs and points, accessory belts, and more! The head was rebuilt with reconditioned valves, all new exhaust & intake valve guides with seals at 93,706 miles. Compression across all cylinder measures 150-155 psi. Newer BF Goodrich 1” whitewall tires have approximately 1,000 miles on them, and a brand new correct, complete Mercedes Benz exhaust system was installed in 2009. Chances to purchase cars surviving in this condition are growing extremely difficult! This car may not be perfect, but we feel it is very close! It will also come with a folding hardtop rack, hardtop storage cover, original Mercedes Benz tools in cloth bag, original rubber trunk mat, and owner’s manual & books! Act quickly; the world market is definitely waiting for these opportunities as well! Please call with any questions!
