Mercedes-Benz Reveals New C63 AMG DTM Safety Car.

Germany's DTM race series is coming to the U.S. in 2013, but there's no reason to wait until it gets here to enjoy the show. Especially not when the 2012 C63 AMG is the field's official safety car, shown off here in its be-lighted guise.
The previous C63 AMG was also chosen for safety car duties back in 2008, so the new C63 getting the nod for the job isn't surprising. Equipped with the AMG performance package, output nips up to 487 horsepower, enabling the car to get to 62 mph in just 4.3 seconds, or 4.4 seconds as a station wagon. Aside from the LED lightbar and other safety gear, the differences from the standard C63 are primarily cosmetic or electronic.
DTM Safety Car logos, a radio and TV monitor for communication with race control, an LED-lit "Safety Car" sign where the license plate would go, and four-point seat belts round out the changes.
We line it all up for you inside our selection of top-quality Mercedes C Class Accessories and parts. That includes the finest manufacturers in the game at the best value possible. Take your pick of spoilers, floor mats, grille guards, air intakes and a whole lot more.

Kicherer has presented the tuning scene its latest, masterpiece conversion based upon the Mercedes’ stellar SLS 63 AMG. Dubbed Kicherer SLS 63 Supersport GT “Super-Model”, the monstrous ride’s „next-level” look is demonstrated through an extremely stylish photo session partnered by a beautiful super-model, which can be viewed in high-resolution in the image gallery bellow.
Besides the good-looking super-model, the refined Mercedes-Benz SLS 63 AMG is beautified by a sleek exterior kit by Kicherer, consisting of a specially designed, hand-made billet grill and a set of carbon fins for the mudguard and the cowl. Moreover, full foliation of the entire body of the SLS 63 Supersport GT in matt black and a set of Kicherer’s famous RS-1 forged lightweight alloys add even more exclusivity and sporty feeling.
Inside the power compartment, the Kicherer SLS 63 Supersport GT’s liquid-cooled V8 four-stroke engine is boosted to a total output of 630 horsepower and 700 Nm instead of its series 571 horsepower.

Mercedes-Benz Concept.

Mercedes-Benz Concept A-Class is the German automaker’s latest high-tech study vehicle, which is about to get publicly premiered very soon, at the upcoming Auto Shanghai 2011 (21 – 28 April 2011).
Representing a completely different approach in the compact class, the Mercedes Concept A-Class utilizes an exclusively dynamic styling reinforced by some top-notch highlights, including: an all-new, turbocharged four-cylinder petrol power plant and a dual clutch transmission, as well as a radar-based collision warning system with adaptive Brake Assist.
The Concept A-Class’ 2.0-liters engine with 210 horsepower is from the new M270 series by Mercedes, and showcases a unique blend of high performance, minimal emissions and enhanced fuel consumption, achieved thanks to its direct injection and turbocharging.
The compact study ride’s radar-based collision warning system with adaptive Brake Assist is a world first in the compact class. It provides a visual and acoustic warning to a possibly inattentive driver, and prepares Brake Assist for an absolutely precise braking response.
Inside the cabin of the Concept A-Class, our attention is immediately focused on the futuristic dashboard with aircraft wing-like shape and a transparent, stretchable textile lining, which enables the bionic, cellular structure of the components to remain visible.

2012 SLK News.

The new 2012 SLK is on the loose, revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, but we're still waiting for the AMG variant. From the looks of it, we won't have to wait much longer, as these spy shots add to those captured last summer, bringing the car's shape into sharper focus as it loses some of the previous camouflage.
According to the spy photographers, the engine under the hood sounded like a V-8, tipping the new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 as a possible power source. That could put power figures as high as 450 horsepower in AMG trim--a leap of 90 horsepower over the current SLK 55 AMG, which gets its power from a naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V-8. A twin-turbo V-6 or naturally aspirated V-8 could also be tapped for the car, but so far nothing is certain. The C-Class kept the old engine, while the new CLS AMG gets the 5.5-liter turbo, but keeps the 63 badging.
In addition to the new powerplant--whatever it may be--the new SLK AMG's aesthetics are getting a major overhaul as well. Sharing the overall proportions of the revised SLK it's based on, including the new and improved hood/nose shape, the AMG also gets more rectangular quad-tipped tailpipes (despite the still-round ones on this prototype), a new front spoiler and air dam with larger intake inlets, and a full body treatment to point up the car's aggressive performance. Expect large and shiny forged alloy wheels, big brakes, AMG badging, and unique paint color options as well.
Performance should be stunning, particularly if the new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 gets the nod, as the car is expected to drop about 200 pounds from its chassis despite gaining room inside. Speaking of the inside, the car is expected to get some flavor from the new SLS AMG, meaning abundant leather, metal-accented controls, and classic-yet-modern layout. A range of materials and colors are also a given, allowing buyers to customize their vehicles to taste.
Practicality won't be a problem for the new SLK AMG, either, at least in relation to the previous model. Like the base SLK, the AMG version is expected to get a larger trunk with 11.2 cubic feet of space--just a bit smaller than a BMW 3-Series sedan's, by way of comparison.
As times change and tastes evolve, people still want what they consider to be premium manufactured automobiles. Mercedes is still the brand that drivers look to when it comes to delivering luxury performance, advanced safety measures, and refined style in one, exclusive package. Always a name in the highest demand, it is the level of engineering that makes up the bulk of what separates Mercedes from most everyone else, but its emphasis on the detail and textures within the interior that has managed to attract prospective drivers as well. CARiD knows it's an absolute must for you to keep your very own model happy, which means you're going to need the highest quality Mercedes Accessories along with the best value available to do so. The pursuit of happiness begins here.
In today's market, drivers search all over for one item or another because they can't seem to find everything they need in one place. To us, that's nonsense, which is why we carry all of the Mercedes parts you need right here in our "Superstore." At CARiD, we understand Mercedes drivers: you're one of a kind. Then again, so is our wide selection of Mercedes accessories. Make yourself at home.
