Never mind that it's smaller, lighter and more efficient than the last generation S-Class, the part that's fun is trying to discover all of its special features. Two hours perusing the owners manual is all it took to intuitively master the multitude of switches, buttons and controls on our test S500. OUTSIDE -The new S-Class looks smaller and slimmer than before. It's still classified by the EPA as a large car, but the wheelbase and overall length are both over two inches shorter than the previous model, and it's 1.3 inches narrower. The shorter overhangs and a lower beltline contribute to this effect. Softened contours, gently sculpted hood line and sweeping headlights give it a sleek coupe-like appearance in an efficient four-door package. Attention to aerodynamics paid off in a low 0.27 coefficient of drag. Mercedes offers its "designo" trim series with most of its model lines, and the S-Class is the latest to receive this treatment. With the S-Class, adding the package gives the choice of either Espresso or Silver paint, along with a host of interior features. INSIDE -The front and rear seats are redesigned and covered in rich "Nappa" leather upholstery. The padding is firm (a Mercedes trademark), but overall, very supportive. On long trips, a Mercedes leaves the driver almost refreshed. The dashboard is filled with buttons to operate various gadgets and gizmos, with a small TV-like screen in the center that displays the navigation system operated from satellites. It also displays the audio and built-in telephone prompts. The whole integrated system is called COMAND (Cockpit Management and Data). The standard dual zone climate control system includes exterior sensors to monitor various weather conditions, while a superb Bose-brand sound system can be packaged with an optional trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer. Heated, 14-way power front seats are standard, as is cruise control, power tilt/telescoping steering column, variable speed wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirrors and a sliding/pop-up glass sunroof. ON THE ROAD -The latest S-Class is powered by a new modular V8. The S430 uses a 4.3 liter version, while the S500 offers up 5.0 liters. Both use a single camshaft on each cylinder head, along with three valves per cylinder. Depending on engine load, two plugs fire with a short time gap, at the same time alternating between the two for better combustion efficiencies and less noise. The S500 has 302 horsepower, which is down a bit from the last version, and 339 pound-feet of torque. It launches off-line quite well and gives impressive 0-60 mph times. Passing power is even better, with plenty of pull left well after the speed limit has been exceeded. Mated to this engine is a five-speed automatic transmission that "learns" the piloting patterns of its driver, and a Winter/Sport button gives the driver the choice of more traction on slippery roads or sport shift points. Traction control is standard. BEHIND THE WHEEL -The unit body platform of the new S-Class is quieter and stiffer than the version it replaced, and extensive use of aluminum parts has trimmed 500 pounds off the car. The four-wheel independent suspension uses what Mercedes calls "AIRmatic," an air-ride and active damping system that keeps the car level at all times. To maintain directional stability, the company has added an Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This system uses special sensors to detect a slide, then makes adjustments to the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the traction control system to bring the car back under control. The system doesn't eliminate accidents, but it helps the driver avoid potential problems. A new rack-and-pinion steering system replaces the old model's recirculating-ball setup to give a lighter, more accurate feel. Four-wheel, vented disc brakes (cross-drilled in front) are standard |

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is Affalterbach's first big leap into the little pond
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The recent history of AMG is turning out amped-up versions of Mercedes-Benz offerings that would hardly ever be mistaken for their sedate counterparts. Sure, you'd need to pay attention to pick a G-Class from the G63 AMG, but dual side-pipes are a quick giveaway. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is not only a new era in Affalterbach's attention on smaller cars, it is probably also the most subtle transformation we can think of in the line-up.
Low and chunky enough in standard guise to make a sporting impression, the aesthetic makeover is confined to black trim around the lower rim of the hatch, black wheels with red brake calipers and a single, rectangular exhaust tip on either side of the diffuser. It's easier to make a positive ID inside, where the flat-bottomed steering wheel, red seatbelts and red-rimmed details say, "You know what I am..."
If the car is running, though, it won't take but a second. The 2.0-liter turbo spitting 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet will grumble through a sport exhaust at idle, and bellow through the same on it's way to a 0-60 time of less than 4.5 seconds. And if you need something that looks a little harder - and you want those quad pipes - then the A45 AMG Edition 1 is the treasure you seek. There's a press release below for all the info you'll need until the hot hatch goes on sale in Germany later this year, and photos for the rest of us while we wait to find out if we'll get a chance to buy it.
Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
