2011 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 Night Edition review


The Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition, the designo Magno Night black paint to highlight the dramatic lines of the SL body. Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition is also identified two colors of its 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels with five spokes, silver front brake calipers with “Mercedes-Benz” script, dark headlights and taillights. 

 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition is equipped with 13.8-inch ventilated front and solid 12.6-inch rear discs. Matched to power and speed capability, SL63 AMG will be even larger 14.2-inch front vented rotors and 13.0 inch rear vented discs, while the SL65 AMG boasts vented discs that are another 1.2 inches in diameter.


The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL coupe/roadster line features the limited-edition Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition, which is painted in matte-finish designo Magno Night black with a black premium leather interior. Only 100 of this exclusive model are available in U.S. showrooms.

Specially developed for the Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition, the designo Magno Night black paint highlights the dramatic lines of the SL body. The Night Edition is also identified by the two-tone finish of its 19-inch AMG five-spoke light-alloy wheels, as well as silver front brake calipers with "Mercedes-Benz" script and darkened headlights and tail lights.


A striking contrast of dark black premium leather and bright chrome trim fills the interior, with the sports steering wheel, shift lever and roof lining trimmed in black. Newly-designed seats have eye-catching arrow-type stitching and contrasting silver accents, including the vents of the AIRSCARF® system, which bathes occupants' neck area with warm air in cooler weather when the convertible top is down.

All Mercedes-Benz SL roadsters are available with AIRSCARF, an innovative feature that can extend the open-air driving season into the cooler months. Another first from Mercedes-Benz, AIRSCARF is an extra heating system built into the driver and passenger seats.


The AIRSCARF neck-level heating system blows warm air from the head restraints of the driver and passenger seats, allowing occupants to cruise comfortably with the retractable hardtop open in cooler temperatures. Testing revealed that warming just a relatively small area around the neck dramatically improves comfort in cooler weather.

Standard on the SL65 AMG model (and optional on the SL550 and SL63 AMG), the AIRSCARF heating system even compensates for changes in air temperature and vehicle speed. AIRSCARF uses a heating element made of barium titanate, which heats up in a matter of seconds when electrical current is applied.


Standard COMAND system includes a color display screen 6.5-inch, hard drive-based GPS navigation, in-dash six-disc CD / DVD and four-gigabyte Music Register, which contains about 1000 track MP3. This year, the SL audio system adds HD Radio, navigation system and available SIRIUS traffic information in real time. music titles can be displayed on the COMAND screen in the center console and a small screen on the dashboard, and you can select with the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel. Interface media practice, it is easy to connect an iPod, USB memory, memory card and other devices.

Widely acclaimed as one of the world's safest convertibles, the SL provides sports car performance with all the built-in safety that's expected from Mercedes-Benz. Since an open car can leave its occupants vulnerable in a rollover, Mercedes engineers met the challenge in the SL with the world's first automatic roll bar. If sensors detect an impending rollover, the padded, leather-covered bar pops up, locking in place in a third of a second. It can also be raised or lowered by a console switch.

Shoulder belts are integrated directly into the seats for greater occupant protection, especially in rollovers. The Mercedes SL was also the first car with side airbags, which are part of a Supplemental Restraint System (a phrase first coined by Mercedes-Benz) that includes dual front airbags and emergency tensioning retractors that tighten the seat belts in a collision.

A contrast Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition of black leather and chrome trim, sport steering wheel meets the inner wheel, shift gear and roof lining trimmed in black. The newly designed seats are catching contrast stitching and silver accents, including sistem vent AIRSCARF®, which bathes the area of the neck in warm air from the cooler weather when the roof is low. The latest SL roadster configuration has a dramatic design and wings which contain sharp, angular headlamps and modified gill-type air vents behind the front wheels. 

A front hood with two power domes and a daring slit fin. Rear bumper diffuser is motorsports touch, and trapezoidal exhaust tips emphasizes its width. The current SL roadster V8 engine features SL550 Night Edition (382 hp, 391 lb-ft of torque), high performance V8 SL63 AMG (518 hp, 465 lb.-ft.) and V12 SL65 AMG (604 hp, 738 lb-ft).

Mercedes-Benz Vito 2011 Tough Van


Tough, indestructible and dependable - day-in, day-out, the Mercedes-Benz Vito applies itself uncomplainingly to the rigours of the tasks on hand. The commercial vehicles lineup of Mercedes-Benz gets updated with the release of the new Vito, which follows the introduction of the 2011 Viano. The most obvious change on the new Vito’s exterior is the redesigned set of headlights, which lends a white collar look to the commercial vehicle.
The Vito also gets fitted with new front and rear bumpers. The most significant changes are found in the technology aspect. The van is made much more efficient as it now has an engine range that complies with the Euro VI emission rules.

Mercedes-Benz has undertaken a comprehensive revamp of the Vito van, which is now yet more economical and kinder on the environment, yet more practical and more dynamic. New engines and new transmissions reduce emissions and fuel consumption by up to 15 percent while enhancing performance. The fully reconfigured chassis is tailored to the transportation of goods or passengers, according to the model concerned. The driver's workplace in all models and the passenger compartment of the Mercedes-Benz Vito crewbus are more attractively appointed than ever. The new Mercedes Vito is readily recognisable by its new "face", combining the style of the current passenger cars from Mercedes-Benz with the robustness of a commercial vehicle.

The van’s fuel consumption is improved by 15%; it also has less CO2 emissions. The engines being offered include four and six cylinder unit with an output from between 95 and 258 hp. All engines are mated to a six speed gearbox.

The new Vito uses a retuned chassis and suspension, increasing its payload. Various suspension configurations are offered for the high-payload panel van and the comfort-orientated crewbus model. The model offers more comfort to its driver and passengers as its interior has more ergonomic controls, a new color mix and improved soundproofing.

The scope of choice further includes different weight variants, door combinations and the Mercedes-Benz Vito long with high roof. The versatile Mercedes-Benz Vito is available as a panel van, a crewbus with various seating configurations and the Mixto, a combination of panel van and crewbus. All three basic variants come in three different lengths. Models tailored to specific industries and equipment packages for the most diverse areas of use round off the broad spectrum covered by the multi-faceted Mercedes-Benz Vito.

All variants benefit from the full everyday practicality of the Mercedes-Benz Vito. With an overall height of just 1.90 m, every rear-wheel-drive Vito with a standard roof fits easily into standard garages, multi-storey car parks, underground car parks and car washes. The inherent advantages of the rear-wheel-drive concept ensure impressive agility even for the long Vito model variants.

The clear layout of the instrument panel and the clearly legible instruments have been retained - there are some things which simply defy improvement. The shift lever features new contours, however. Depending on the equipment variant, the knob now sports a high-gloss badge with chrome surround. In the upper control panel on the centre console, pushbuttons have replaced the previous rocker switches to facilitate intuitive operation while at the same time providing a more attractive appearance. The seat heating is now more finely adjustable, offering three levels as opposed to the previous two. The overhead control unit has been upgraded with two reading lamps in certain equipment variants. In the Mercedes Vito crewbus equipped with additional heat exchanger or rear air conditioning, corresponding new controls are also incorporated together with a display.

Four-cylinder CDI: robust, economical, clean, powerful and smooth-running

At the core of the new generation of engines is the four-cylinder in-line unit which has the internal code OM 651. It is available in three power variants for the Mercedes-Benz Vito:

Vito 110 CDI (figures differ according to variant)
Power output: 70 kW (95 hp) at 3800 rpm
Max torque: 250 Nm at 1200-2400 rpm
Fuel consumption in acc. with NEDC: 7.7 l/100 km (BlueEFFICIENCY: 7.4 l/100 km)
CO2 emissions: 203 g/km (BlueEFFICIENCY: 195 g/km)
Top speed: 158 km/h
Acceleration
0-100 km/h: 18.1 s
60-100 km/h in fifth gear: 14.0 s
80-120 km/h in sixth gear: 20.5 s
Vito 113 CDI (figures differ according to variant)
Power output: 100 kW (136 hp) at 3800 rpm
Max torque: 310 Nm at 1400-2600 rpm
Fuel consumption in acc. with NEDC: 7.4 l/100 km (BlueEFFICIENCY: 6.9 l/100 km)
CO2 emissions: 195 g/km (BlueEFFICIENCY: 182 g/km)
Top speed: 176 km/h
Acceleration
0-100 km/h: 13.4 s
60-100 km/h in fifth gear: 12.5 s
80-120 km/h in sixth gear: 18.2 s
Vito 116 CDI (figures differ according to variant)
Power output: 120 kW (163 hp) at 3800 rpm
Max torque: 360 Nm at 1600-2400 rpm
Fuel consumption in acc. with NEDC: 7.4 l/100 km (BlueEFFICIENCY: 6.9 l/100 km)
CO2 emissions: 195 g/km (BlueEFFICIENCY: 182 g/km)
Top speed: 191 km/h
Acceleration
0-100 km/h: 11.5 s
60-100 km/h in fifth gear: 10.0 s
80-120 km/h in sixth gear: 14.6 s

This represents an overall rise in power output and torque in comparison to the predecessor models, with major increases in some instances. At the same time, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced substantially - by up to 15 percent, depending on the engine variant. Apart from attaining surprisingly good values in absolute terms for its size and weight, the Mercedes-Benz Vito clearly leads its class in terms of fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

Drivers of vans from Mercedes-Benz are not required to compromise on comfort. Common rail injection, the low-vibration forged crankshaft running on five bearings and the rear camshaft drive provide the foundation for the engine's surprisingly smooth running. All four-cylinder engines also benefit from Lanchester balancing, with two counter-rotating shafts running under the crankcase, driven by spur gears. Mercedes-Benz is the only manufacturer in this vehicle class to deploy balancer shafts in all four-cylinder engines of its vans - commercial vehicles from Mercedes-Benz embody the same pioneering quality for which the brand's passenger cars are renowned.
Long maintenance intervals also contribute to the Vito's sustainability and economy. The ASSYST service computer which comes as standard calculates oil-change intervals on a flexible basis according to the actual use of the vehicle. The average interval across all engines stands at 30,000 km or two years. Higher mileages are also possible between oil changes, depending on the intensity of use and the individual driving style.

The Vito 4x4 with permanent all-wheel drive and variable power distribution by means of the 4ETS traction system also benefits from numerous innovations. A new 3-point bearing for the front-axle transmission and an increased oil volume reduce vibration and wear on the all-wheel drive. Helical gearing for the differential provides for smoother running. As previously, the Mercedes-Benz Vito 4x4 is available exclusively in conjunction with the two higher power variants of the four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission (Vito 113 CDI/116 CDI 4x4). The Mercedes-Benz Vito 4x4 now also complies with the Euro 5/III emissions standard.

2012 Mercedes-Benz S-class

When Mercedes F700 concept held odd years ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show, many speculated that it was destined to be futile in automotive styling. Not so according to people close to the project. Latest reports claim both the technology and car design will eventually make its way into the next generation S-Class due in 2012.

The tack-on body panels and lights placeholder element in the prototype is clearly a lot of details that will determine the next S-class, but there are plenty of camouflage does not hide. Profile and the proportion remained similar to the current car, but we hope to have an inch or more space between the axle on both short-and long wheelbase model-. LWB versions appear higher than today's S-class, and a curved roof line appears to relax on the back window of a touch more than it does today, S. Below stretches cladding, body side will be flowing fender contours and sweeping treatment of the current and future E-Class 2011 CLS-class. Unlike the models, however, eschews the grand saloon-looking chop for greenhouse ceiling height and large windows that remind us a lot of the S-class side-slab in the 1990s. Well, and the Popemobile.

Now, while the camouflage also preempts our ability to accurately predict the end of the styling front, we think this is the S-class will make a major leap in that area than its predecessor slowly evolved. Hope, such as fashion lately, lots of LED lights which are given in some "brand-defining" pattern. (Do not be fooled by the LED on the prototype of this, too, because they come from a S-class now). We thought the front end can take a lot of inspiration from the radical concept of the 2007 F700. The final prediction of our designs: A clamshell-style front hood (so to align with other models of Mercedes Benz-most) and, less elegant and bustle-backed excess baggage.

Like the current model, the new car will come for both the short and long wheelbase versions and will be supported by a variety of V6, V8 and V12 powerplants - both naturally aspirated and turbocharged. However, new to the lineup will be the introduction of four-cylinder model is adjusted. Mercedes F700 actually used for previewing new powertrain, called DiesOtto, longer provide instructions for what to expect in the next S-Class.

Mercedes F700 is also used for active preview of the new PRE-SCAN suspension, a system that scours the road ahead using two lasers and automatically adjusts the suspension accordingly. Another feature is the new Servo-HMI (Human Machine Interface), which is equipped with a virtual operating assistant that the driver can converse with. Expecting to see a similar system in the S-Class and toned down version of a new future in other models.

Gambar Spesifikasi Mercedez-Benz E 350/550

The E-class cabriolet doesn’t feature a folding hardtop, using instead a traditional cloth roof that’s nearly an inch thick. The top is sealed well and seemed to be nearly as quiet at highway speeds as a metal roof. It takes about 20 seconds to furl and unfurl, with another five seconds added for all four windows to chug up or down. One benefit of the cloth top is that it allows for decent trunk space: 11 cubic feet with the top down and 14 with it up. That’s a great deal more commodious than the trunks of folding-hardtop convertibles when their tops are lowered.



The E-class cabriolet isn’t as enjoyable to drive as a BMW 3-series or even an Audi A5, but it’s more comfortable for four people than either of those cars. It’s built like a bank vault and is a serene cruiser that will make a statement at a valet stand or the shopping mall. After all, not all cars have to be barnstorming racers—wait, did we really just say that?

Neither car will set an enthusiast’s pulse racing, but the E350 and the E550 are highly competent vehicles. We couldn’t detect any cowl shake over bumpy roads, and these convertibles provide a satisfying ride on the highway, particularly in more-relaxed E350 form. The V-8’s growl under hard acceleration is seductive—as is its pace—but we felt the V-6 was better suited to the car’s overall demeanor. Through the twisties on the island of Mallorca, the car was capable, but the steering is slow on-center and isn’t particularly talkative; the car is tuned for comfort rather than hauling the mail.

Spesifikasi Mercedes-Benz E-class / E350 / E550 2011


At the launch of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-class convertible, the German carmaker brought along some classics from its past. We were thus reminded that golden oldies such as the 1971 280SE 3.5 were great four-place convertibles that could be hustled at reasonable speeds but couldn’t be considered sports cars.

It was a smart move, because the new E-class convertible isn’t sporty like the droptop versions of the BMW 3-series or Infiniti G37. Instead, it’s a beautifully made, solid cruiser that has space for four, drives well, is quick, and has some style.

A Classic Formula

The E-class cabriolet doesn’t feature a folding hardtop, using instead a traditional cloth roof that’s nearly an inch thick. The top is sealed well and seemed to be nearly as quiet at highway speeds as a metal roof. It takes about 20 seconds to furl and unfurl, with another five seconds added for all four windows to chug up or down. One benefit of the cloth top is that it allows for decent trunk space: 11 cubic feet with the top down and 14 with it up. That’s a great deal more commodious than the trunks of folding-hardtop convertibles when their tops are lowered.

Although the car looks like an E-class sedan with the roof removed, down to the gawky crease over the rear fender, it’s dimensionally closer to the C-class. (Remember, the E-class coupe and convertible effectively replace the old CLK-class lineup.) The wheelbase is 106.9 inches, which is about two inches shorter than the C-class sedan’s and 6.2 inches shorter than that of the four-door E-class. Although the wheelbase is slightly shorter than the cozy BMW 3-series convertible’s, the rear compartment is spacious enough for two full-size adults to hang out and enjoy an alfresco automotive experience.

Gadgets Galore

To make the experience a bit less breezy back there, Mercedes has introduced a gizmo on the E-class called Aircap. This is a retractable spoiler that’s mounted on top of the windshield, intended to divert air over the passenger compartment. It doesn’t have any effect on tonsorial elegance with the side windows down, but with them raised, there was notably less wind whip at speeds up to 50 mph. Aircap, which is standard on all E cabrios, looks a bit dorky when deployed, but you don’t have to look at it while you’re driving, only enjoy its benefits. Mercedes also makes its Airscarf heating system available on the E-class cabrio; it wafts warm (or cold) air around front occupants’ heads and necks via vents embedded in the headrests.

As one would expect with a Mercedes, the car has airbags up the wazoo—no fewer than seven standard, with rear side bags on the options list. The body structure has been reinforced under the floor and behind the rear seats to recover some of the rigidity that’s lost without a fixed roof. The windshield surrounds have been beefed up. Mercedes also fits two hefty, 1.4-inch-diameter tubular roll bars under the rear headrests that pop up in the event of a rollover.


Similar to the Coupe but Pricier

As for the regular E-class sedan, there are two engines for the U.S: the familiar 268-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 and a 382-hp, 5.5-liter V-8, both mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Mercedes claims the V-8 E550 droptop will reach 60 mph from rest in 5.1 seconds and that the V-6 E350 needs 6.3 seconds for the same sprint. We’ve hit 60 in 4.8 seconds with the slightly lighter E550 coupe, so Mercedes’ figures should be pretty accurate. Top speed is limited to 130 mph on both models.

The cars will go on sale in May in the U.S., likely priced at about $57,000 for the E350 and $67,000 for the E550. The E350 comes with standard features such as leather seats, a 14-way power driver’s seat, Aircap, burled walnut trim, two-zone climate control, and seven airbags. To that the E550 adds AMG sport styling elements such as a different, more aggressive front fascia; unique wheels; cross-drilled brake discs; and a sport-tuned suspension. When the E550’s transmission is switched into sport mode, the shocks are firmed up and the shift points and throttle map are altered. A navigation system, rear side airbags, laser cruise control, and Airscarf are optional on both models as part of a number of equipment packages.




Old-World Cruiser

Neither car will set an enthusiast’s pulse racing, but the E350 and the E550 are highly competent vehicles. We couldn’t detect any cowl shake over bumpy roads, and these convertibles provide a satisfying ride on the highway, particularly in more-relaxed E350 form. The V-8’s growl under hard acceleration is seductive—as is its pace—but we felt the V-6 was better suited to the car’s overall demeanor. Through the twisties on the island of Mallorca, the car was capable, but the steering is slow on-center and isn’t particularly talkative; the car is tuned for comfort rather than hauling the mail.

In so many ways, that’s like those classic cabriolets of the 1970s. The E-class cabriolet isn’t as enjoyable to drive as a BMW 3-series or even an Audi A5, but it’s more comfortable for four people than either of those cars. It’s built like a bank vault and is a serene cruiser that will make a statement at a valet stand or the shopping mall. After all, not all cars have to be barnstorming racers—wait, did we really just say that?

New from headlights to taillights, the 2010 E-class has even higher levels of safety, refinement, and luxury. From the fuel-efficient diesel to the race-ready E63 AMG, Mercedes-Benz makes an E-class for just about everyone—everyone who can pay for it, that is.


Highs
Safety and luxury galore, comfortable and handsome interior, AMG version offers supercar performance.

Lows
Pricey, weak 3.5-liter V-6, non-AMG versions err on the side of luxury more than we’d like.

Behind The Wheel
Solid, refined, quiet, isolated, and coddling, in non-AMG guise, the E-class is more luxury than sport. AMG version is firmer, louder, and is a four-door performance superstar.

Spesifikasi Brabus E V12 Coupe 2010

Mercedes steroids in-house 'broker, except AMG, Brabus is probably the most famous of them tinker with the product MB. In short, the Bottrop, Germany-based tuner takes usually mild Mercedes-Benz-like model-, C, E-, and S-Class and G-GL-class SUVs, and more-and turning them into something entirely different, something waaay beyond which the warranty and cost issues allow AMG to go. As proof, we present the V12 coupe E.


Recipes for E V12 coupe is basically the same as the one that followed to create a V12 sedan E: Take the 5.5-liter Mercedes' twin-turbo V-12 from the S600's; enlarge it to 6.3 liters by extending delivery, slid over the piston new, and appear in a new crankshaft; stir in the intake system is unique and a new camshaft, and then this thing becomes E-class coupe. The result is a 788-hp, Höllenhund 1047-lb-ft of Brabus says it will rip and snort road 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, 0-124 mph in 9.9 seconds and 0-186 mph in 23.9 seconds . Top speed is limited to 217 mph, but the car is able, the company says, of the 230-plus.




Exterior modifications to the car was just as eye-emerged because of all that foolishness numerically. As a blacked out as possible without actually became blackout, V12 coupe body kits E get bad tacks on a bit-carbon fiber front fender, carbon-fiber rear fender flares, better to cover the necessary wider rear rubber, a carbon fiber -rear diffuser and rear spoiler Brabus says it is "important for the aerodynamic balance at high speed." Interior illuminated sill plates see, carbon fiber trim in the entire place, and a new steering wheel




Price? Well, if you're interested you should not even need to ask, but here it is: € 478,000, or about 655 large. If you take a dive telecommunications portfolio this quarter and you need to economize a bit, or if you just like to see the paramilitaries, you can go for the G V12 Biturbo. That truck, a radical take on the ass-kicking wagen-G that gets 690-horse version of the V12 engine E, it costs only € 394,900, or $ 540,000. Because rather than our wallets, we recommend you get both.
