Video: Merc's 670HP SL65 AMG Black Series in Action

Not that the recently updated Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG with its 612HP twin-turbocharged V12 engine isn't powerful or fast enough, but you'll always have a few customers -very few to be honest- that crave for something a bit more special, a bit more fast and a whole lot more expensive. The result was the introduction of the SL 65 AMG 'Black Series' of which only 350 will be produced, with around 200 of those earmarked for the U.S. As a typical example of Merc's 'Black Series' cars, this SL has been stripped out and tuned to the bone. Among other upgrades the 'Black Series' has been enhanced with a fixed carbon-fiber rooftop and a tweaked 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine producing 670HP and a monstrous 738 lbs/ft of torque. Hit the jump for a narrated video of the car or click here for details and photos.

Inden-Design Presents Mercedes-Benz CLK Cabriolet DTM Replica Kit

Back in 2006 Mercedes-Benz launched the CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet, a limited production version based loosely on the styling of the DTM racecars that was motivated by a 582HP supercharged AMG V8 engine. Now German tuner Inden Design has decided to offer all CLK Cabriolet owners the chance to drive around with a DTM lookalike with the introduction of a replica package.

Aside from the wide bodykit that sees the humble CLK Cabriolet gain several inches around the front and rear end, Inden-Design's DTM package adds in-house styled 19-inch alloys wrapped in 255/30 rubber on the front axle and 305/25 at the rear as well as a sport suspension kit from H&R and a sports exhaust system. For the interior, Inden offers a 22-piece carbon-fiber kit that can be complemented by a sports steering wheel and AMG graphics for the instrument panel.

2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: The Inside Scoop with High-Res Photos

These are the latest spy photos of Mercedes-Benz's next-generation E-Class sedan that was spotted testing near Stuttgart. While this isn't the first time that we've seen lightly camouflaged prototypes of Merc's mid-size sedan, our photographers managed to scoop a few pictures of the vehicle's interior that reveal new aspects of its dashboard that follows the edgier design language of the C-Class.

One of the most notable differences between the current model and the new E-Class concerns the S-Class-inspired automatic gearshift. As opposed to the console-located shifter of the current E-Class, in the model the driver selects Park, Drive and Reverse through a stalk on the right side of the steering column.

On the outside the 2010 E-Class is shedding more and more of its disguise making the differences to the outgoing model clearly visible. The saloon's design that was previewed at the Paris motorshow through the ConceptFascination adopts tauter body surfacing and sharper creases for a more imposing and dynamic look. The most notable feature of the 2010 E-Class' design will be without doubt the diamond shaped quad headlights.

Peel of the sheetmetal and you'll find a gazillion safety and comfort-orientated technologies like the radar-assisted cruise control and the automatic lane guidance system. You will also discover a revamped petrol and diesel engine line-up that will use cutting-edge technology to cut fuel consumption and emissions. Among the new powerplants to be introduced in the next-generation E-Class will be a 4-cylinder turbo diesel featuring BlueTEC and AdBlue technology to develop an output of 204HP from a displacement of 2.2-liters.

Mercedes-Benz will also reveal the first hybrid variants of the E-Class. The E300 Blutec Hybrid will link a V6 diesel engine to an electric motor mixing performance with ultra-low consumption and emission figures while the E400 Hybrid will adopt the 299HP 3.5-liter V6 petrol-hybrid system used in the new S400 Hybrid (click here for details).

There will also be a new E63 AMG that will use a slightly tweaked version of the current generation model's 6.2-liter V8 engine producing close to 550HP.

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class will make its first official appearance in sedan form at next year's Geneva Motor Show in March with the Estate variant following towards the end of the year.

Mercedes-Benz Presents Special Edition ML 63 AMG Models

Marking the 10th anniversary from the introduction of the first generation ML 55 AMG, Mercedes-Benz has revealed a pair of special edition ML 63 AMGs named "10th Anniversary" and "Performance Studio". While both models retain the factory 6.3-liter V8 engine that produces a hefty 510HP shooting them from naught to 100km/h (62mph) in just 5.0 seconds and on to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155mph), Mercedes-Benz's AMG division has garnished them with distinctive bodywork details and an array of accessories.


The ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary" which pays a direct tribute to Merc's first-ever high-performance SUV, the 347HP ML 55 AMG that was launched in 1999, features new engine bonnet design with power domes, radiator grille and Himalaya grey underseal for the front and rear end along with a set of 21-inch high-sheen light alloy wheels and shaded Bi-Xenon headlights with active curve illumination

Moving into the interior, the anniversary model boasts a two-tone nappa leather upholstery on the AMG sports seats and AMG sports steering wheel in black / Alpaca green or black / light brown, while the upper part of the dashboard clad is in black designo leather. The black roof lining and the charcoal wood trim complete the changes.

The second special edition version of the ML 63 AMG was developed by Merc's in-house "AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO" division that caters the wishes of individual customers. On the outside, the ML 63 AMG "Performance Studio" sports a metallic "Peridot brown" paintwork combined with 21" AMG high-sheen light alloy wheels painted in the same color as the car and a high-gloss trim strip on the belt line .

The full nappa leather upholstery with a diamond pattern in a porcelain shade with black cording, together with the leather-wrapped dashboard, centre console and door trim in black and porcelain, the charcoal alcantara roof lining and wood trim finished in high-gloss black piano lacquer sum up the interior upgrades.
