Germany’s BUND is an earth friendly group, similar to Greenpeace here or some other ones, which are trying to get car manufacturers to stop just focusing making the car faster and more luxuries, but also focus at making it more earth friendly.
We’ve had our fair share of crazy and useless crap on the site, but here is another one that will surely trump those that have come before it. For those stinking rich bastards out there, but also for those that love dreaming at owning something like this, I present to you the glass rims.
In the past week, we have learned a lot about the new C-class, but there is still something that we don’t know about the car, and for most buyers that is the most important factor.
It seems that they have a very talented partner (Huckfeldt) that does everything for them, but it also looks like they possibly received some help from inside the companies. It could also be that they create the designs based on spy-shots or some other ways we are not familiar with.
The countdown has began for the world premiere of the new C-Class in the Mercedes World in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim. The press conference, which will be attended by some 600 journalists from around the world on 18th January 2007 can be seen live on the internet from 7:00 to 7:40pm (CET)
Tiff takes the SLR drifting, this time it is much easier and more fun for him. Even though, it isn’t his favorite sports car, he seems to have enjoyed it.
they transformed a SL600 into a light reflecting killer Roadster that would cost you as much as a Maybach. It cost them $200,000 to create this masterpiece that was featured in numerous magazines and also at the SEMA Auto Show.
It seems that I am not the only one urging (like someone is going to listen to me) drivers to be careful on the roads, but Environmentalists are demanding that speed limits of 120km/h or 75mph be put on German highways (better knows as Autobahns).
This is such a disturbing video that I am not even sure I should be posting this, but I feel it is important for people to see what happens if you crash full speed into a truck.
Now it may look like the awesome truck from the TV series ‘Highwayman’ (that I loved watching when I was a child), unfortunately, it doesn’t have the built-in helicopter, but instead it has 3 windshield wipers that I presume rotate like a propeller to get the job done.
This has to be the biggest and most exciting test done by Autobild or any other magazine. They have brought together every AMG model available currently for a comparison test that will be remembered for decades, I mean when will they do this again, not any time soon.
This of course is not the first time that the ML has won something, being pick the IIHS top safety pick for 2007, so it is to no surprise that the ML has even wowed the Mid-East critics. TradeArabia is reporting that Autocar Middle East, a leading motoring magazine in the region, has picked the ML63 as the best luxury SUV.
It may be already too late to have this shipped to your favorite child for Christmas, but there's always their birthday or even a gift to celebrate the new year. If your child is spoiled with expensive toys and unnecessary brand name clothing, this is definitely for them.
Here is a bargain you just can't pass on, well if you have $159k on hand. EliteMotorCars has a "used" Maybach 62 with only 11,084 miles that was unfortunately crashed by some douchebag.
We've seen just way too many spy shots and spy videos of the new C-class, but here we have a video showing how the car is going through rigorous tests.
This is a very good "how-to" video for all those that don't know how to drift (me included) and for those that want to have some fun, but not destroy the car. Maybe he is cheating a bit with the water tank in the trunk, but it is there to give him more fun and a better drift.
There is some interesting news coming from the guys over at Auto-Motor-und-Sport. They have asked Mark Stehrenberger from Santa Barbara to sketch them a Smart that Americans would like. Mark suggested four models for the US market; Fortwo Coupe /Cabrio, MPV/4x4 Crosser, Vanette and Pickup.
Who else would put an SUV against a roadster in a drag-race but Top Gear. This one of those comparison tests that really don't make sense, but achieve a great amount of laughter and excitement.
We've seen many of these tests, but I am not sure if they were so large and extensive. Nevertheless, a great comparison test by Car and Driver that will leave you speechless.
It promises you a brand spanken' new 2006 S-class for $89,835, but the best and unbelievable part is that you will get a new Mercedes, under $55,000, for FREE. It sure seems like a great Marketing campaign.
Gigi Becali, the owner of Steaua Bucharest football club, decided to make some repairs to the fender and to the car's door with a crowbar after an accident with his Maybach.
