2012 Mercedes GL-Class

Mercedes GL-Class in production in 2006 and is still in the first generation and to this day. Nevertheless, in 2012, Mercedes is preparing to launch a new generation of SUV, with an improved external appearance and a new, more efficient engines. Expect the new model will be launched in a major exhibition in 2012, with sales in the U.S. market beginning in 2013.

This is the second time the car was caught testing, but this time she fell, some of his mask to identify tail lights and LED-indicator on top of the head light. Judging by her, we assume that the rear bumper will share their shape with ML Mercedes.

The engine line-up for 2012 Mercedes GL-Class remain a mystery, but the company did not confirm that the full composition will be much less fuel, with the possibility of adding new V6 engine for the base version. The V8 engine will continue to be offered for the top version.









2011 Mercedes SL R230 Black Edition by Prior Design

Before the design is no stranger to Mercedes SL R230, providing aggressive package for sports cars only last year. This model was inspired by the Mercedes SLS AMG - hence the aggressive - and has been signed, sealed, and delivered success. At this time, before the design modifications to the design chosen soft exterior and interior, but the result is the same part as the first.

New Mercedes SL R230 Black Edition on the preliminary design still gets a bit of edge on the body kit, provided with a new front bumper, front fenders, front hood and front spoiler exaggerating the curves of the original front of the model SL. The same idea is carried on the vehicle, with a new, prominent side skirts, that direct attention back to the modified rear end. The most notable change to the rear trunk spoiler is new, but the new bumper, rear extensions and rear diffuser has also been added. Then there is a new set of wheels with a concave design on the back and replace the windshield water reservoir, to wrap things.

Nothing was said about the changes made to the interior of the SL-Class, but only if the images reveal a cool mix of black and red leather for the seats and instrument panel, three-spoke steering wheel, and a variety of carbon fiber inserts.

Before the new packaging design for the SL-Class does not match the hardcore design the previous package, but when all is said and done, the car still sports a stylish variation and abrupt. These two adjectives are usually not achieved at the same time successfully, so that says something for his beautiful work before Design.

Mercedes 2011









Mercedes SLS

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a luxury grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-AMG to replace the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The car is the first Mercedes automobile designed in-house by AMG and is described by Mercedes-Benz as a spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.

The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 IAA. Sales began in mid-2010 in Europe with MSRP of €177,310 (including taxes) and will begin in the United States in mid-2011 for less than $200,000. The SLS AMG is featured as the cover car for the PlayStation 3 racing game Gran Turismo 5, and is the safety car for the 2010 and 2011 Formula One seasons.

Design
The SLS AMG is designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival by Gorden Wagener. The car has a long bonnet, the passenger compartment is close to the rear axle and the rear of the car is short. The SLS AMG will also adapt the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, not in a mix of upwards and forward like the SLR. The doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds (41 kg) to the car. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.

The SLS AMG will be made in at least four different versions. The first to launch is the coupe with gullwing doors. In 2009 a Desert Gold version debuted at the Dubai International Auto Show, in mid-2010 a FIA-GT3 racing version. For 2011-2013 Mercedes will also be releasing a roadster (with conventional doors and a soft top), an electric powered E-Cell version (most likely to be a coupe), and there will be a Black Series version, which will see its weight being reduced by as much as 300 kg (661 lb).
