Description

This is a rare opportunity. What you are about to read will be just as thrilling as the car itself. We are presenting to you at this auction a stunning 1995 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG.  The inline 6 cylinder 4 valve engine is based on the C280, however, it has a 1.1 mm increase in bore diameter and a huge 18.9 mm increase in stroke length. The compression is also slightly stepped up to 10.5:1, while the electronics have been recalibrated and more aggressive camshafts have been fitted by the factory and has a free flowing exhaust. The result is 276 horsepower at 5750 rpm and 284 ft pound of torque at 4000 rpm. The engine has 82 more horsepower that the C280 and 36 more that the BMW M3.

The five-speed automatic transmission can be shifted manually through the gates is quite effective. The C36 uses 12.3 inch vented disc brakes up front and 10.9 inches in the rear. The brake engineering used on the heavier SL600 was used on the C36, adding great braking performance.The C36 can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 5.9 seconds and can cover the quarter mile in 14.7 seconds. 

The engine runs execeptionally strong. The transmission shifts crisply, no lag, no slippage or harshness. The air conditioning blows ice cold. The vehicle has 4 new Bridgestone tires, as per Mercedes-Benz fitmant guide. The paint is factory original and is glossy and no signs of fading. Everything works and the vehicle has been serviced regularly since new. We have all maintenance records. The vehicle was originally purchased and serviced at Fletcher Jones Motor Cars in Newport Beach, in Southern California.

Ownership

The C36 belonged to an elderly gentleman in his 80's, who owned it since new and took care of it faithfully for more than 18 years. The mileage is correct, and was driven on a regular basis. Since he was not driving much these days, he decided it was time to get it in the hands of someone who would drive it more often and appreciate it. So that is the car we have today. No bodywork has been done on the car at all. The 54,600 miles, gives this Mercedes-Benz special value. It still feels new, smells new, the seats don't even look like they have been sat on. Turn the key and the engine starts right up. If you ever wanted a Mercedes, don't let this classic slip through your fingers.

Mercedes-Benz History

Mercedes-Benz found itself with not much competition in the sports sedan arenas, so they joined up with AMG who helped Mercedes produce new sport sedans in the early 1990's. The C36  was their first collaboration sold to the public. The car was more powerful than the BMW M3, which was very exciting. The C36 had a limited run in production. Mercedes-Benz and AMG produced 1018 C36's from 1995 to 1998, making it even more desireable to own.

Mercedes may be working on a new electric car dubbed 'Ecoluxe'

Fri, Dec 26 2014

Automobile has a lengthy piece this month on how the four German mass-market luxury manufacturers each plan to go after Tesla with their own electric vehicles. It was written by Georg Kacher, the magazine's European bureau chief, and the English version came a month after he wrote the German-language original for Autobild. Tesla isn't exactly a threat to the Germans, but, according to the report, the Model S is planting the right kinds of seeds in niches that are important to the luxury players. The thinking is that - in addition to needed electric vehicles anyway for stricter US regulations - it's better to start designing the machinery now. The article posited Porsche's attack would rest on the coming Panamera platform, but a big hurdle would be battery placement. Unable to find one large space for a lithium-ion pack, engineers would instead put batteries everywhere they could, for a supposed tally of some "108 battery pouches" throughout the body. A few days after the Automobile piece, however, Porsche publicly said it had no intention of challenging the Model S, because the enthusiastic driving the brand is known for doesn't jive with useful range. In Kacher's retelling, Mercedes' plans are even more ambitious, supposedly taking aim at the Model S and the coming Model X. It would do this with an investment in excess of $2 billion in a program called "Ecoluxe" – Mercedes has no brand division akin to BMW's i and Audi's e-tron. The new brand would create a four-strong family of bespoke electric vehicles: a smaller platform with a wheelbase around 106 inches and a larger one with a wheelbase around 118 inches. In addition, the range would have "provisions for rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering." The numbers are impressive: seating for seven in the larger vehicles, both longer than 16 feet, front and rear storage areas, ratings of up to 610 horsepower and production capacity of 80,000 units per year. When would we see such creatures? Perhaps as soon as 2019. We do know that if Tesla can knock the Model X over the outfield fence, automakers are going to have to do something. We don't know what the chances are that Ecoluxe is Mercedes' first move - but such a plan could help explain the weird Mercedes concept spied in October.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.

The BMW 8 Series leads this month's list of discounts

Tue, Jun 9 2020

Whether you prefer the sleek looks of a sport coupe, the wind-in-your-hair exhilaration of a convertible or the flexible practicality of a four-door sedan, BMW has an 8 Series to suit your fancy. And if you're in the market right now, you may find that your local BMW dealership is willing to take $18,124 off the sticker price. That figure comes courtesy of TrueCar, and it reflects the discount buyers are getting off the 8 Series' average $122,395 retail price. Most of the 8 Series models in American showrooms today are 2019 models, and that's the model year to which the discount above applies. This represents the largest discount on a new car in America this month, based on the dollar amount off the car's sticker price, and the third largest discount by percentage. And it means the average transaction price for a 2019 BMW 8 Series is hovering at $104,271. 2020 BMW 840i Gran Coupe View 38 Photos BMW offers two distinct versions of the 8 Series, the 335-horsepower 840i with rear- or all-wheel drive, and the 523-horsepower 850i, which comes standard with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. If you want to step even further up the performance ladder, there's the M8, but that 600-horsepower monster is getting a much smaller $6,150 discount. If you're not into BMWs, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT boasts the second largest monetary discount this month, with buyers averaging $16,713 off the Benz's $176,035 sticker price. Another Mercedes, the S-Class, is next with a $11,452 discount. After that comes a pair of Maserati sedans, the Quattroporte and Ghibli, each with discounts of around $11,000. Since the Ghibli's base price is so much lower than that of its larger sibling, that represents a much larger 13.5% cut from its average retail price of $81,384 for an out-the-door cost of $70,373.
