Completely rebuilt, this SL65 is a custom masterpiece. To start, the car is fitted with a Prior Design Black Series Widebody kit. This is not a bolt on bodykit. This is a highly intricate, and extremely precise install, converting the standard SL to the looks of an SL65 Black Series. Wider fenders front and rear, new sideskirts, front bumper, front carbon fiber lip, rear bumper, rear carbon fiber diffuser, rear decklid, and hood have all been upgraded to create the look. To further make finalize this look, the car has been upgraded to R230 v2 headlamps (2009 and newer), and SL63 AMG Tail Lights, with the smoked center portion. After fitting the kit, the car was resprayed in Ferrari Grigio Silverstone by the infamous StrasseSport in Los Angeles, CA. The end result: one of the prettiest SL’s in the world. The suspension has been slightly modified with the use of Adjustable Links, and a factory calibration via the SDS System at a Mercedes Benz dealership. To finish it off, the car is on a set of custom Forged D2 Forged wheels finished in matching Grigio Silverstone with a Polished lip. The 3 piece concave wheels look massive on the car, and show off the Verde Ithaca Painted AMG Brakes perfectly. The pads have been changed to Ceramic to keep the stopping power high and the brake dust low! The car rolls on 265/35/20 and 325/25/20 Pirelli P-zero Tires. Performance wise, the car has had it’s ECU upgraded, as well as a resonator delete. The sound and performance of this car are breathtaking. It sounds more like a speedboat then a car, and the pull due to the almost 700 horsepower and 850 foot pounds of torque is intoxicating. It is not a car for an amateur, and in the wrong hands, could be deadly. Make sure you keep the ESP turned ON! Lastly, the interior of the car from Mercedes Benz is so close to perfect, that it didn’t need much to make sure it had as clean as a presence as the exterior. The Burl Wood has been replaced with Carbon Fiber everywhere, which looks phenomenal. The door panels and center console weave ties in great with the dark Natural Gray Full Leather of the car. The Shift knob has the slightest accent of Verde Ithica, which was done to subtly tie into the brakes.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes stationary batteries, 2015 E-Mazing Race

Tue, Jun 2 2015

Mercedes-Benz is following Tesla's Powerwall in selling stationary batteries for home, business, and industrial solar energy storage. The lithium-ion batteries will come in 2.5- and 5.9-kWh capacities, and can be linked together. Daimler's vehicle battery technology, "has proven to work for millions of driven kilometers in the toughest environments of heat and cold, which makes it the best candidate also for stationary use," says Harald Kroeger of Mercedes-Benz. Pricing is unavailable as of yet, but Mercedes promises "competitive" pricing when the batteries go on sale at the Intersolar trade fair (June 10 through 12) in Munich, Germany. Read more at Automotive News, or in the press release below. The third running of the E-Mazing Race competition for electric vehicles is underway in Canada. The race challenges drivers to earn the most points by charging at Sun Country Highway charging stations in a month. Contestants needn't have been at the official starting point nor cross the finish line; they just needed to sign up and download the race app to participate. More remote charging stations offer more points when charging, and participants can also win prizes for photos and using social media. The 2015 E-Mazing Race, which began May 27 and ends June 24, is meant to raise awareness of electric vehicles. Sun Country is working on expanding its EV charging infrastructure in the US, so don't be surprised to see the race encompassing most of North America in the future. Read more at Green Car Reports. Linde has opened a new hydrogen fueling station in Innsbruck, Austria. The station, located in the popular destination city that has twice hosted the Winter Olympics, will allow hydrogen-powered vehicles to cross the Alps and travel between Italy and Germany. The station is capable of 700-bar refueling and can fuel six cars per hour. It was built as part of the HyFive project to create hydrogen fueling infrastructure across Europe to facilitate the rollout of fuel cell vehicles. It is the second public hydrogen station in Austria. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release below from Linde.

Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.

Geely and Mercedes-Benz invest $780 million to make electric Smart cars

Wed, Jan 8 2020

BEIJING/SHANGHAI — Zhejiang Geely and Mercedes-Benz on Wednesday said they would each invest $388.77 million (2.7 billion yuan) in a China-based venture to build "premium and intelligent electrified" vehicles under the Smart brand. The 50:50 venture has received regulatory approval and will be based in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo, the Chinese and German automakers said in a statement. Like Mercedes-Benz, smart is a Daimler marque. The venture will have manufacturing capacity in China and sales operations in China and Germany, the automakers said. Geely will lead in engineering the cars while Mercedes-Benz will take charge of their overall look, they said. The partners will each have three executives on the board of directors, with Geely's Tong Xiangbei becoming the venture's global chief executive. Geely has expanded rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since buying Sweden's Volvo in 2010 from U.S. parent Ford. In 2018, it built a stake of almost 9.7% in Daimler and set up a ride-hailing venture in China with the Stuttgart-based carmaker. Its latest announcement comes just over a month after China's Great Wall and Germany's BMW formed a venture to build electric Mini-branded cars in China, the world's biggest market for electrified vehicles where demand for smaller EVs is on the rise.
