Mercedes-Benz F 800

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Mercedes-Benz F 800 Style research vehicle shows the future of premium cars from a new perspective: the one-off five-seater executive saloon combines efficient drive technologies with unparalleled safety and convenience features as well as an emotive design idiom, which interprets current Mercedes-Benz styling in line with the brand's hallmark attribute of refined sportiness. With an exterior length of 4.75 metres, the F 800 Style offers a generously-sized interior incorporating intelligent seating, control and display concepts. Another world-first for large saloons is the all-new, exceptionally flexible multi-drive platform, which is suitable for electric drive with fuel cells, enabling a range of almost 600 kilometres, as well as for a plug-in hybrid that can drive for up to 30 kilometres solely on electricity. Both variants of the F 800 Style make locally emission-free mobility possible for a premium car, while at the same time being ideal for everyday driving and providing a dynamic driving experience.

Mercedes S-Class

The Mercedes Benz S Class, the flagship luxury sedan from the German auto giant, unveiled the S350 Bluetec series of S Class for the 2011 shopping year, as well as the S400 Hybrid. In addition, the Merceds Benz S Class has also unveiled the S63 AMG and S65 AMG, two high-performance models, as well as a few other hybrid or all-wheel drive models. The new S Class runs on turbocharged diesel, the first diesel engine unveiled by Mercedes in the U.S. in the past 16 years. This luxury machine is likely to provide powerful horsepower and torque, with unique interior design as befitting the car’s status and reputation. Because the S Class is more of a grouping of Mercedes cars than a single car in and of itself, it’s important to do your research to determine the S Class model that best fits your needs.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been in production since 1954 and over the last 56 years has always represented the forefront of luxury refinement in a sedan. 2011 is not going to represent a break with tradition at all and the S-Class will probably feature.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Design Exterior
The future-oriented, puristic design has drawn inspiration from the proportions of classic Mercedes-Benz sports cars. Opening the gullwing doors reveals the sweeping curved design with large opening angle. The extended bonnet, distinctive V-shaped front section and large air intakes as well as the low-position passenger compartment and the gently sloping rear of the vehicle are the embodiment of sports car design and give it the true look of a racing car. The innovative bi-xenon front headlamps with daytime driving lights and LED indicator lamps not only illuminate the road but also contribute greatly to the distinctive visual impact of the supercar.
Viewed from the side, the long wheelbase and short body overhangs are eye-catching features. The distinctive waistline that runs along the entire side wall and the prominent, powerful wheel arches underline the classic design of the SLS AMG – as if cast from a single mould.

Design Interior
Design elements taken from aircraft construction are also reflected here – right down to the smallest detail. Situated prominently in the solid metal centre console, the AMG DRIVE UNIT with AMG E-SELECT selector lever mirrors the style of a jet control panel. The wing-shaped instrument panel featuring four distinctive air vents and the AMG instrument cluster with white-backlit round dials is commanding and distinctively puristic. High-quality sports seats with magnesium backrests are finished in stylish designo leather or designo Exclusive leather and are available in nine colour shades to match the exterior. The classy designo Exclusive natural/braided leather upholstery in light brown is also available upon request.

Engine
The advanced AMG 6.3-litre V8 motor makes the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG one of the most powerful sports cars in its class. The V8 high-speed engine with 6208 cc capacity is a completely modified version of the AMG 6.3-litre V8 basic engine. The 8-cylinder engine responds to the slightest movement of the accelerator with superb agility across the entire engine speed range and displays the typical features of a high-performance racing car.
The maximum output of 420 kW is achieved at 6800 rpm. The maximum torque rating of 650 Nm is reached by the 8-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine at 4750 rpm.
The gullwing model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and achieves a top speed of 317 km/h.
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: fuel consumption combined: 13.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 308 g/km. 
Suspension
The AMG sports suspension in the SLS delivers uncompromising racetrack performance. It employs a double wishbone suspension concept – proven in motorsport – on all four wheels. Spring struts specially developed/adapted for the SLS as well as the separation of wheel control and suspension generate a significant reduction in pitching when accelerating and braking. This way, the best possible road surface contact is maintained, even when performance is pushed to the limit. The long wheelbase (2680 mm) supports directional stability and the wide track (1682 mm at the front and 1651 mm at the back) reduces wheel load displacement on winding roads.
Steering
To meet the expectations associated with a supercar and maintain control of the vehicle even in the most demanding sporty driving situations, AMG sports parameter steering has been integrated in the SLS.
This speed-sensitive power steering delivers a direct steering experience. It also enhances driver feedback as the vehicle speed increases – a crucial factor when driving quickly on a straight road.
AMG Performance steering wheel with a flat lower section and oval profile is upholstered in nappa leather and perforated on the side grips. This ensures handling comfort and a secure grip for use in challenging driving situations.
Transmission
The new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission with four drive modes and Race Start function is responsible for power transmission. Weighing just 136 kg, the transmission system employs an integrated mechanical differential lock to guarantee outstanding traction. The system is characterised by rapid gear changes, practically without interruption to tractive power. In simple terms: shift up at full load to experience even more dynamic acceleration for maximum driving pleasure.
Drivers can choose from four drive modes (ranging from comfort to extremely sporty) and a Race Start function. Real metal shift paddles are used to move up and down the seven gears. A short pull on the left (–) or right (+) shift paddle is enough to select the required gear.
