2011 Bentley Mulsanne live 2010 Paris Motor Show

The first steps of the Bentley Mulsanne was in Frankfurt in autumn 2009. The flagship of the winged B Paris Mondial currently exposed, while the first copies are about to be delivered.

The replacement of the old Arnage is effective. The latter, whose production was halted in late 2009, has now dropped on a descent route. Repeatedly treated in our columns, the Mulsanne was a reversal of the Bentley style. We will be brief, no point in going on ecstasy neo-retro that has punctuated its release last year. Ecstasy or teeth grinding, depending.

This time, we preferred to dwell on the real qualities of the car, piece of master craft in automobiles. Unable to catch out even the stethoscope from every angle: the lower corner fold, invisible without twisting, has been treated with high precision. Remember that some of its edges are impossible to industrialize and de facto must be handmade. 800 units will be produced annually.

Illustration - 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse

It looks like Larson has been busy in the last period: days ago, we saw his rendering picturing the 2015 R-Klasse, whereas today the first closer-to-reality computer-generated image of the 2012 A-Klasse hit the interwebs. The future compact model from Stuttgart will boast an aggressive, but balanced and powerful stance, if the front fascia we see in the rendition has anything to do with the production version. The 2012 A-Klasse sports slightly narrower headlights with LED technology, inspired by the F 800 Style Concept, and a very wide grille, with the Mercedes star in the center, between two chromed louvres. A sharper, V-angled front bumper, as well as a more sculptural side profile and a glossy, toned down rear end, are also on the list. All in all, design wise, this car looks uber-cool and, if it stays nearly as so and it comes packed with attractive engine and equipment lineups, it will definitely be a complete success.

SPY - 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Klasse

Sander Hofman from Holland caught new spy shots of the upcoming SLK roadster testing somewhere in Spain. There's pretty nothing more to say about this model, as its exterior and interior design is fairly predictable at this moment, with the test cars losing more and more camo and the important load of renditions we've seen and debated so far. In fact, as expected, the future SLK, to bow either at NAIAS or at Geneva in 2011, will borrow a lot from the lines of the SLS AMG. New and efficient engines will power the new convertible Mercedes-Benz model; the tin top used for the 2012 SLK will also premiere the MAGIC SKY CONTROL, a gimmick whose darkness can be varied at the touch of a button. Hit the jump button and check out more spy photos of the new SLK-Klasse after the jump!

Appearing in the E-Class and S-Class from December: Mercedes-Benz makes xenon light even brighter

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Stuttgart, Germany, Oct 28, 2010

Achieving light colour which is as close as possible to daylight is one of the biggest safety benefits in the field of headlamp technology. Mercedes-Benz is now one of the first automotive manufacturers to offer xenon headlamps boasting a significantly brighter light output.


From December, production of the E-Class and S-Class will make use of new xenon burners from the company Osram, featuring a colour temperature which has been increased by some 20 percent. Achieving a figure of 5000 Kelvin, the new xenon light is even closer to daylight and is therefore even brighter – a clear innovation, in the true sense of the phrase.

This light colour is in keeping with normal human perception patterns, and as such conveys an impression of greater brightness to the eyes, thus reducing the strain on the driver. Studies have shown that the closer the colour of artificial light comes to daylight, the less the strain on the eyes. This is a crucial safety benefit, especially if we take into account that only 20 percent of journeys take place at night – yet it is when 40 percent of fatal accidents occur.

After the E-Class and the S-Class, further Mercedes-Benz model series will be gradually fitted with the new xenon burners in 2011. All previous Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with xenon headlamps can also be fitted with this additional safety feature, as the new xenon burners will be available from branches and dealers as Mercedes-Benz original parts.

SLS AMG and R-Class emerge as the most popular cars

Stuttgart – Mercedes-Benz has taken three first places in Europe's largest public internet survey. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG even scored top honours in two awards, winning both the super sports car and coup� category as well as simultaneously being voted Europe's most popular car. The Mercedes-Benz R-Class also picked up an Internet Auto Award 2010 as Europe's most popular van.
This is the ninth time that AutoScout24, Europe's largest online automobile marketplace offering around 1.8 million vehicles, has conducted an online survey to discover Europe's most popular cars. More than 230,000 participants from seven countries cast their votes to choose their favourites from among 343 vehicles.

When it came to voting for Europe's most popular car, the answer could not have been clearer: the majority of the voting public opted for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG super sports car. A unique and exciting style combined with an exquisite level of engineering - all of which evoke memories of that sports car legend from the 1950s, the 300 SL - enabled the gullwing to take top honours in this category. On top of this, the SLS also emerged as the clear winner in the super sports car and coup� category.

The most popular vehicle in the van and compact van category, according to the online community, was the Mercedes-Benz R-Class. By voting in this way, the participants acknowledged the fact that the R-Class not only boasts an exciting design, but also meets the requirements of contemporary-minded, leisure-oriented people looking for a versatile car that also provides agile handling. It combines first-class comfort for up to seven people, a high degree of variability and a prestigious character.

In Germany, other Mercedes-Benz vehicles were also voted into the top places. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class won in the medium-size category and the E-Class in the intermediate category, while the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet picked up the most votes in the cabriolet category.
