Stuttgart (January 18, 2023) – With numerous innovations and upgraded standard equipment, Mercedes-Benz is strengthening the position of the CLA Coupé and CLA Shooting Brake as trendsetters in the compact segment. The newly shaped front apron, the revised radiator grille with star pattern and the new rear diffuser sharpen the sporty character. Added to this are the modernised graphics in the LED High Performance headlamps, which are standard for the first time, and the LED rear lights. The new paint colours hyper blue (exclusive to the CLA models) and spectral blue, as well as three additional wheel-rim designs in sizes up to 19 inches, extend the choice for individualisation. As standard, the new CLA Coupé and CLA Shooting Brake models are fitted with 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels in vanadium silver or a five-double-spoke design in high-gloss black with high-sheen finish.

This 1984 Saab 900 Turbo was bought new in 1984 and has covered less than 97,500 miles by a single owner in that time. Despite some minor needs (slight bubbling behind wheel wells, typical tear in driver’s seat bolster), it appears to have been well cared for. It includes the original window sticker as well as maintenance records. It presents well in its glossy black over tan with the 15-inch Panaracers. It’s an eight-valve so it won’t bring the kind of money we’re seeing with the later 16Vs, but at $9,500 it’s still sure to offer plenty of smiles per mile. Find it here on the Saabnet Classifieds.

Mercedes-Benz upped the ante in 1998 in its ongoing battle with BMW’s M3. Taking advantage of its newly acquired majority stake in German tuner AMG, they dropped a 4.3-liter V8 engine into its compact C-Class sedan. This gave it an over 60-horsepower advantage over the E36 M3 (US models with the comparatively anemic S52 motor), propelling the Baby Benz to 60 mph in under six seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. These figures are comparable to the M3 and would have likely benefitted from a manual gearbox (not available on US models). Best of all, the performance is cradled in the comforts of a Mercedes-Benz.
The W202 C43 AMG is relatively rare with less than 1,500 coming off the line (the first AMG car to be built entirely at the Mercedes-Benz factory). This compares to over 12,000 E36 M3 sedans, which Hagerty values at $47,700 in No 2 condition. The MY2000s are particularly rare, with only 91 built, and they have the added benefit of the 5G-Tronic Speedshift auto-manual gearbox. But a C43 AMG from any production year would be a unique and enjoyable motoring investment.

What’s special about this car is not only what it is—an impeccably maintained W116 S-Class that has was driven sparingly by a single family over 45,000 miles—but what it isn’t. It’s not a 450 and it’s not a longer wheelbase SEL.
What it has are the original books, tools, Becker Europa, and complete service records dating back to 1977. What it doesn’t have is the 4.5 (or 6.9) liter V8. It has the stalwart M110 2.8-liter inline six. It doesn’t have the Bundt alloy wheels. It has steelies with hubcaps painted in the same Medium Red as the pristine and original body. It doesn’t have leather upholstery. It has Bamboo MB-Tex in likewise pristine and original condition.
What it has is a history dating back to the New York Auto Show before being purchased by the seller’s grandfather. There would be know way to drive, or even sit in, a car like this and not feel its soul. It’s on the MB Market where bidding is underway at $5,000, ending January 19, 2023 at 05:25 p.m.
AFFALTARBACH, Germany (January 12, 2023) – To mark the end of the 2022 Formula 1 season, Mercedes-AMG is presenting a special model of the SL 63 4MATIC+ (combined fuel consumption: 13.2–12.8 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 300‑291 g/km)[1]. It reflects the look of the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E PERFORMANCE racing car. The colour graduation from high-tech silver metallic to obsidian black metallic is inspired by the model from the top class of motorsport. The same is true of the star pattern on the vehicle flanks and the PETRONAS-coloured contrasts: these can be found on the front apron, side sill panels and rear diffuser. Added to this are 21-inch AMG 10-twin-spoke forged wheels in a matt black finish with PETRONAS-coloured rim flanges. The electric soft top is in black. Continue reading
