2014 Black Series, Collector Owned on 2040-cars
Prescott, Arizona, United States
|
i am the original owner of this car, and I placed a special order for it over a year ago. I took delivery just a couple of months ago. In my humble opinion, it is perfectly specified and silver is the most attractive color choice for this car. The SLS Black Series comes with virtually every option Mercedes offers, including tons of carbon fiber, AMG Performance Media, and ceramic brakes. The original MSRP was approximately $286,000. It Features the Bang & Olufsen Stereo. I have a small collection of exotic cars, and this car has been pampered just like all the others. AMG specifies a strict break in procedure, advising that the car should not be driven at over 4500 rpm or 82 mph for the first 1000 miles. This is not my first AMG, and I always carefully observe break in cautions. Thus, the first 1000 miles on this car were almost entirely accumulated on the freeway at varying, lower speeds. It is incredibly boring and frankly a pain in the neck. But, its done now! I had clear guard professionally installed when the car was delivered, and it covers the nose, the rockers, the rear panels, the entry sills, and the mirrors. The car is in perfect condition, has never seen any form of moisture, and has spent its entire short life in my garage. It presents itself as a brand new car. I am a non smoker, and of course the car has never been on a track. This is a no story, no excuse car that is a vast improvement over the standard SLS (which I also owned). I sincerely hate to part with it, but in the time I waited for it to arrive, I acquired too many other cars. If you are truly serious about what has to be one of the greatest cars Mercedes Benz/AMG has ever built, you owe it to yourself to consider the SLS Black Series.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
