2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Panamericana Grille

The new Mercedes-AMG GT R is everything we could ever ask for from Mercedes-Benz. From the Green Hell Magno paint to the adaptive aerodynamics and Venturi-effect cooling systems, basically the only thing separating the GT R from an actual race car are the three extra seats surrounding the driver. All the speed and vomiting is obviously the main attraction here, but one of the coolest things about the new GT R is the resurrection of the panamericana grille that was made famous by the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Roadster!

With the release of the GT R, we decided to take a look at what makes a Mercedes-Benz a Mercedes-Benz. Is it the forced induction that does the trick or is it something else.

2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Active Rear-Wheel Steering

The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R is the first Mercedes-AMG vehicle in history to have active rear-wheel steering, meaning all four wheels turn in conjunction with the steering wheel. The introduction of this also puts the GT R on a short list of passenger vehicles to ever be offered with similar technologies. One of them, in particular, was the car made famous in the Fast and the Furious franchise, the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, which was only in production from 1999 to 2002. Read the rest of this entry >>

Mercedes-Benz Electric Drive Brand United States Release Date

We may be jumping the gun a little bit, but certain German publications are calling Mercedes-Benz out for mentioning a long term goal of creating a separate brand for electric vehicles. Right now, Mercedes-Benz offers a few all electric vehicles such as the B-Class and the A-Class, but they are not available in the United States. There is also an electric option for the new GLE SUV, but again, it isn’t available in the United States. Will a Mercedes-Benz all-electric brand make it to the United States of America?

Mercedes-Benz GLT United States Release Date

For the last few years, and longer for some, the world has been waiting for Mercedes-Benz to release a pickup truck. Mercedes-Benz is one of the most successful automotive brands in history and it has its hand in every class of passenger car except for the pickup truck. It has been said that this missing link has to do with the fact that it wouldn’t be able to keep up with the F-150 in terms of sales. This may have a lot of truth to it, but after looking at the spy shots available online, it is safe to say that the Mercedes-Benz GLT will be in the United States…eventually.

Why is Mercedes-Benz switching from 12 to 48 volts?

Mercedes-Benz is always at the forefront of vehicle innovation. When the 6-volt battery came into play in the 1920s, Mercedes-Benz was there. When the sealed battery was invented in the 1970s, Mercedes-Benz was on top of it. Because of this, we know we can trust the company, but why is Mercedes-Benz switching from 12 to 48 volts?
