Lorinser LV8 at Tuner Grand Prix


Lorinser LV8 at Tuner Grand Prix

Back at the beginning of June, Top Speed announced that the German tuner Lorinser is planning on debuting their modified LV8 at the Tuner Grand Prix. The aftermarket manufacturer from Winnenden has just revealed even more details about the car that they defined as a C-Class from another universe.

The LV8 sports a complete aero package and has been fitted with a set of the company’s light-weight alloys wrapped in Continental rubber. So far, the German tuner has not disclosed any information about the performance improvements equipped on the LV8, but they did say that it will compete in the C3 class, a category reserved for limousines and production cars. This baby Benz will certainly need every bit of force from its 550 HP 6.2 Liter V8 that allows the car to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.3 seconds, the 465 lb-ft of torque should be sufficient to break the back end loose and put up clouds of smoke to impress both the fans and judges if Lorinser wants to keep their heads up.

Although the LV8 will not be a purpose built race car shod with slicks, it will be a 100% street legal road car, offering all the relief of a TUV approval. The supped up C Class will make its official debut on June 26th when the gates at the Hockenheimring open for the 2009 SPORT AUTO Tuner GP/Drift Challenge.

2009 Mercedes C-Class Special Edition


Mercedes C-Class Special Edition

The German automaker Mercedes Benz has just unveiled a new special edition of their entry level model, the C Class, in both sedan and wagon versions. The special edition baby Benz can be recognized by the tinted headlamps surrounded by a dark bezel, unique Indium Grey paintwork and 17 inch 5-spoke lightweight alloy wheels. The special edition C Class will also be offered in obsidian black, palladium silver or calcite white.

The celebratory C Class was designed to attract raw admiring glances due to the vehicle’s sporty, elegant nature combined with an outstanding interior along with a few technological highlights standard. The body features a healthy amount of chrome and aluminum trim pieces to accessorize the exterior, while the interior is based on Mercedes Benz’s AVANTGARDE philosophy, combining future technologies like ARTICO man made leather with classic design characteristics to create a timeless look and feel. The interior also features creature comforts like a leather wrapped luxury steering wheel, leather wrapped gear selector, heated seats and a 4.5 inch multifunction display. All standard.

Mercedes Benz C-Class gets efficient engines


Mercedes Benz C-Class gets efficient engines

The future of the baby Benz is looking a little greener, which is because the German automaker will be incorporating their BlueEFFICIENCY power plants into the C-Class’s product range. The Mercedes C will benefit from added power as well as improved efficiency thanks to fuel saving technology like direct injection and modern day turbochargers and an intelligent shifting transmission.

The new diesel powered C220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY will be the most fuel efficient C-Class ever. The turbo diesel 2.1 Liter engine will make 170 HP and be able to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 8.4 seconds, all while returning an almost Prius-like 49 MPG, and that is without any electric motors to aid with the gas wasting stop and go city driving. Whereas if you are reluctant to go with the alternative fuel here in America, for fear of limited supply, or the outrageous price; then the C250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY is what you are looking for. With its direct injected 1.8 Liter four cylinder engine that produces 204 HP, this saloon will take 7.4 seconds to go from 0 to 60 MPH while getting a CAFÉ friendly 32.6 MPG.

Both of these new efficient offerings from Mercedes Benz are reasonable solutions for helping out the environment while still enjoying the luxury of an upscale sedan. The new BlueEFFICIENCY power plants don’t compromise performance for fuel efficiency, and go to show that you don’t have to drive a hybrid to get 50 MPG, the one thing the little Toyota doesn’t have is 170 HP. Perhaps the combination of diesel fuel and a turbo works just as well as gas and electric.

So far, the German tuner has not disclosed any information about the performance improvements equipped on the LV8, but they did say that it will compete in the C3 class, a category reserved for limousines and production cars.

The latest tuned Mercedes Benz was recently introduced by Väth Automobiltechnik GmbH, the V20K. Väth began modifying the aerodynamics of the C-Class and then enhanced its performance.

The performance upgrades come with a $2316 USD (1,773 Euro) price tag.





Chrome Mercedes C63 AMG


Chrome Mercedes C63 AMG

Looks like Dubai likes its chromed Mercedes. Back in October we saw a chromed SLR in the desert city, and now we have pics of a C63 AMG going for the ultimate bling.

The look-at-me-shine of this car just can’t match the appeal of a simple matte black paint job. Always remember the understatement can say so much more.
