The Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG is already a powerful roadster, with 355  and 376 pound-feet of torque horsepower coming from it’s fantastic 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8.  So what could tunner-prodigys over at Väth do more to the SLK55 AMG?
For starters, let’s talk about power. The V58, based as you already understood on the SLK55 AMG from Mercedes-Benz, but in the end pumps out 565 hp and 568 lb-ft, that’s  210 hp and 192 lb-ft more than the original!

How does such a thing come to life? Väth starts by upping the Merc’s engine displacement to 5.8 liters and adding things like a new compressor, new pistons, high-grade steel catalysts, a sport air filter and much more. In addition to these mechanical tweaks, the engine’s electronics have been re-calibrated, and the end result is an SLK that will max out at 193 mph. To manage all of

Just when we talking of a possible B-Class player available for the United States too, along with the rest of the world, some extremely teasing spy shots of the up-coming Mercedes-Benz C-Class luxury sedan are ours to offer.
Set to make it’s debut later on this year, Anno Domini 2010, the new Mercedes C-class is looking good, and you can hit a glance at both the rear and front parts of the car. It seems to be undergoing winter testing.
From what we can notice, the new stuff is: a new front fascia that integrates LED lamps – something that’s becoming standard fare on the entire Mercedes-Benz lineup, somewhat revised headlamps and what appears to be a more upright grille and a new hood. Out back, there’s a modified rear bumper and, fitting to the frontal glare of the car, revised LED taillights.
More details on the new updated and, hopefully, more efficient

Mercedes thought of a special version for the E-Class Convertible, named Prime Edition. The limited edition comes with a range of aesthetic and technical improvements.
Mercedes continues the series of debuts first started at Geneva Motor Show with a special edition of the E-Class Convertible. The first limited interpretation of the German convertible is called “Prime Edition” and comes with a number of aesthetic enhancements, designed to make the E-Classe Convertible a more attractive car.
On the exterior, Prime Edition is individualized by the body painted in the “Tenore Gray” color, perfectly matching with 18-inch wheels, made by AMG.

The customization also continues inside, where the interior received the “Designo” Division’s stamp, specializing in custom modifications of the Mercedes models. Customers will enjoy perforated leather in two colors, black and white, and individual rear seats, electrically adjustable.
Above all these they added the Agility Control package that regulates the vehicle’s behavior on the road. New Mercedes E-Class Prime Edition will be available

We usually avoid car video games as we uphold the “Real deal” here at Mibz.com, but you gotta see this killer here. Polyphony Digital outdone themselves for the 5th instalment in the video game series Gran Turismo, and the trailer for this game named Nights totally rocks. High quality music that makes you wanna speed off and drive from work right away, stunning cars like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, heath-stopping pitstops and all-in-all tons of pure NASCAR adrenaline.
If the game itself is rather a mystery still, these trailers do keep us gamers or car fans or, most notable, those who are both, on the edge. So hit play and enjoy the video. HD at your clickable disposal. Sony you do like to tease!

In the United States, the Mercedes-Benz product portfolio starts off with the C-Class sedan. There are no A-class or B-class players here, which makes the alphabet a bit messed up as well as displeases buyers as they have no cheaper option at hand than the rather pricey C-Class.
It seems the people over at Mercedes-Benz finally realised (part of) this aspect, and decided to offer American and Canadians the possibility of purchasing a B-Class personal car. That’s what we hear in this report from Automotive News at least
We also heard that the we hear that the F-800’s controversial snout is in fact a near match for the next-gen E, and that America could receive a sedan version of the rumored B-Class lineup as well.
So when will the U.S. get cheaper, more fuel efficient Mercedeses, be it B-Class A-Class or some-class?. No one can say for sure at this
