2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG [w/video]

Affalterbach Additions Transform Benz's Heavy-Hitting Droptop



Saint-Tropez is a charming town in southeastern France nestled along the Mediterranean Sea. Internationally recognized as a summer playground for the wealthy and famous, it is also famed for its "clothing optional" beaches where more than just noses and shoulders get burned in hot weather. While still a couple months shy of warm weather and the influx of tourists, Mercedes-Benz chose to get an early start on the topless party by flying us to the Côte d'Azur for some seat time in its newest high-performance droptop, the 2013 SL63 AMG...

Toyota, Honda top supplier survey with lower results, GM and Chrysler improve
May 16, 2012 - 12:29 AM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen



Before financial Stargate opened in September of 2008 and transported us to an entirely new economic dimension, it was oh so common to read about domestic automakers hammering Tier One suppliers to lower their prices. Of course, suppliers are still asked to find efficiencies, but pre-2008, it seemed a point of honor to hold a supplier's feet to the fire. No more: in the latest Working Relations Index survey...

Next Infiniti G to arrive in a year's time
May 15, 2012 - 4:55 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Coupe, Sedan, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan



The current Infiniti G has soldiered on since the 2009 model year with few updates, so it is about time for a design change. But how much longer do we have to wait? Inside Line reports that the new G will arrive next spring with a new design, fresh engines and a possible hybrid variant.

Nissan VP Andy Palmer reportedly let loose the G's tight time line, while providing room for us to speculate what engineering changes could come with the redesign. The high-ranking executive told IL that the partnership between Nissan and Mercedes-Benz is progressing as planned, and we know that a four-cylinder engine is... [Read More]

Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift spotted
May 15, 2012 - 12:42 AM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Spy Photos, Wagon, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury



There can be no argument that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a handsome sedan, but some changes are underway to make the 2013 model more striking. Our spy shooters caught this wagon, which despite having its front end heavily cloaked, gives up at least a few details.

New headlights are hiding beneath all that masking, which will integrate the current model's separate daytime running lamps. Out back, the taillights will retain the same shape, but get a slightly different look.

Also absent from these photos will be a new design to the rear fenders, as we're told that Mercedes will be changing the rear doors to remove the "Ponton-style" bulge. The interior will be updated, as well, with some improved... [Read More]

Mercedes-Benz launching new Antos short-radius distribution truck
May 14, 2012 - 12:16 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Truck, Europe, Work, Mercedes-Benz



If you thought Mercedes-Benz has expanded its range of luxury automobiles to gargantuan proportions, well... you're right. But its commercial vehicles division hasn't been missing a step, either. The German truckmaker is still in the process of launching the new Citan urban delivery van, and is already working on its next offering to the truckers of the world: the Antos.

Designed from the get-go as a short-radius distribution truck, the Antos pioneers a new class of maneuverable and versatile workhorse. Still in the development phase, the Antos will be revealed in full at the Commercial Vehicle IAA this coming September, at which point it will be made available in a staggering array of configurations. Mercedes-Benz plans to offer the Antos in two cab styles, with no fewer than thirteen... [Read More]

Next Infiniti G to use Mercedes-sourced engines
May 12, 2012 - 2:04 AM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Coupe, Sedan, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury



Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz have spent the past two years becoming BFFs under the covers of their small cars. In addition to the production version of the Infiniti Etherea using the Mercedes A-Class platform and Nissan making engines for Mercedes in Tennessee, two years ago it was reported that the next Infiniti G would get engines from the German automaker. As the launch draws nearer, a report in Autocar indicates that Mercedes four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines... [Read More]

Nissan breaks ground on new engine plant in Tennessee
May 11, 2012 - 2:54 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan




Nissan breaks ground today on an expansion to its Decherd, Tennessee engine plant and will start churning out powerplants for Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz models in about four years.

The plant already builds four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines for several Nissan models as well as the Infiniti JX SUV. In 2011, the Decherd plant built 580,000 engines. The expansion will boost production capacity by as much as 250,000 units per year.

Audi narrowly beats BMW in April to take premium sales crown
May 10, 2012 - 8:20 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Car Buying, China, Europe, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Earnings/Financials, Luxury



The global luxury war has three fierce combatants, all German, all producers of amazing vehicles, and all serious about besting their two other rivals. While BMW has been winning as of late, the latest battle goes to Audi.

The Volkswagen luxury brand sold 125,200 vehicles in April, topping BMW's 121,476, according to Reuters. It was the first time Audi outsold BMW since January 2011. BMW still holds the year-to-date lead with 478,030 units sold, compared to 471,300 for April's champ,... [Read More]

AMG shows off by making snow drifts
May 10, 2012 - 5:21 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Performance, Videos, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury



Nothing to see here, kids, unless you like watching powerful V8s with orotund exhaust notes kicking up walls of snow via a right-pedal workout and heaps of opposite lock. If that's the case, there is something to see here, and it's a promo vid for the AMG Driving Academy Winter Sporting held in Sweden.

This video is merely highlights. But if you like it, then you can book a trip to Moder Svea for this year's sessions. Scroll down for ice sculptures of rooster tails.Continue reading AMG shows off by making snow drifts

Magna Steyr will build new entry-level Infiniti

Automotive News reports Nissan will turn to Magna Steyr to build a new Infiniti compact car in 2014. The Austrian manufacturer will assemble the vehicle as part of the luxury brand's efforts to grow in western Europe and other global markets.

So far, Nissan and Infiniti have been tight-lipped about what the vehicle will bring to the table, but earlier reports have hinted the model will be designed to compete directly... [Read More]
