1990 Mercedes 560sel With Many Rare Options on 2040-cars
Pacoima, California, United States
Presenting one of the finer examples of the w126 chassis available anywhere. This one has two very rare stock interior options- orthopedic seats and the rear sunshade. I added a Nakamichi CD400 headunit and an MBQuart 4.125 amplifier, as well as Polk speakers for an excellent sound system. There is an iPhone/iPod connector installed as well. Rounding out the interior additions, I also custom-installed a TomTom GPS unit (lifetime traffic), so that there are no loose power cords.
The exterior also has several rare (for the US) modifications. It has european bumpers (very rare for a Gen II W126). It also has european headlights (using H4 bulbs for much better visibility), and european amber turn signals. I have installed a glass sunroof from a Mercedes W140 chassis (it fits perfectly), making this car practically one-of-a-kind. The european hazard triangle is also included. Mechanically, the car is in excellent shape. I just replaced the entire top-end fuel delivery system, including a new (rebuilt) fuel distributor, new injectors, new injector seals and idle air hoses. The car has an extensive repair history (with records going back to new). The timing chain and tensioner were replaced 60K miles ago, along with rebuilt heads and new head gaskets. The transmission shifts smoothly (including reverse) and has had a recent fluid/filter replacement. The brakes are in excellent condition, with Akebono ceramic pads all around on nearly-new rotors. The front shocks have 25K miles, and the rear accumulators have 40K. It has an upgraded 19mm rear sway bar (custom manufactured by Hellwig), giving the car flatter handling in corners. It has a new set of General Altimax HP tires with less than 4000 miles on them. A new radiator and a new battery have just been installed. All fluids have been replaced regularly. There are a few things that a perfectionist will want to fix. There are two small dings on the right rear quarter (pictured), and there are a few paint flaws. The clear coat is intact however.

Smart brand will be built in China as a Daimler-Geely joint
Thu, Mar 28 2019FRANKFURT/BEIJING — Daimler will build its next generation of Smart electric cars in China through a joint venture with Geely, as a way to increase economies of scale in a market segment that is struggling to turn a profit. China's Geely built a stake of almost 10 percent in Daimler last year, saying it wanted to forge an alliance to develop electric and self-driving cars to better compete against new challengers such as Uber and Google. Daimler said on Thursday it would build the next generation of Smart-branded city cars at a purpose-built factory in China, and planned to share its expertise in manufacturing, engineering and design with Geely. The high cost of electric car batteries has made it hard for automakers to build affordable zero-emissions vehicles, leading several of them to strike alliances with Chinese partners. Daimler's German rival BMW recently unveiled plans to build electric Minis in China, where production costs are low and demand for small electric cars is rising. Daimler and Geely did not disclose financial terms of their deal. The details of the joint venture will be finalized by the end of 2019, they said in a joint press release. Daimler currently develops and builds Smart cars with Renault at factories in France and Slovenia. The Daimler factory in Hambach, France, will be retooled to build Mercedes-Benz cars. Geely has been expanding rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since 2010, when it acquired Swedish carmaker Volvo from Ford. Last year, Daimler and Geely set up a ride-hailing joint venture in China. Daimler's Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said last month the German carmaker was in talks to deepen its alliance with Geely after the Chinese's group's chairman Li Shufu bought a 9.69 percent stake in Daimler in 2018.
The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
