Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 05 August 2011 09:00

First, some history. AMG has been updating and upgrading mid-size two-door Mercs for much longer thank you might think. The go-faster business began in the late 1970s with the W123 range – it came in three different AMG tuning stages, from the humble 2.3-litre four, past a 2.8-litre six, to the mighty 5.0-litre V8. However, it was not until 2001 that AMG stopped ...

Mercedes E-class coupe (2009): CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 31 October 2009 10:00

Take a look at this new Mercedes E-class coupe. While it’s called the E-class coupe, and looks very much like an E-class, it actually sits on a C-class chassis. There’s a choice of four engines, two diesel and two petrol. For diesel power, there’s a V6 powerplant, and the smaller 2143cc unit. Alternatively there’s a petrol V6 and V8 too. ...

Mercedes E350 CGI (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 06 March 2009 10:19

Overlook worldwide recession and the automotive market place is primed for the launch of Mercedes’ new E-class. BMW’s 5-series feels old and outdated (it’ll be replaced in less than 12 months time) while Audi’s A6, despite (or perhaps because of) a minor facelift late last year, doesn’t feel particularly new either. So it’s an open net for Mercedes then, but ...

Mercedes GLK350 (2008) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 21 April 2008 09:43

It's been a long wait, but we've finally driven Mercedes' new junior off-roader, the GLK. And we can confidently say Stuttgart’s latest offering is an off-roader because CAR has been mud-plugging in the GLK - and beating its big brother M-class driven by Mercedes’ own instructors. Still, the GLK has to prove an awful lot if it’s to compete in ...

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 27 August 2007 09:57

So this is Merc’s answer to the new BMW M3... Got it. Hot C's have long been part of Mercedes' line-up, but none has had us quite as excited as this, the C63 which as the name suggests, gets the big 6.3-litre V8 from the car right at the top of Merc's range, the CL63. It’s worth pointing out that ...

Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster (2007) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 24 July 2007 11:40

That name's quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster is indeed a tongue twister. And make sure you get Merc and McLaren the right way round, otherwise the men from Germany will get all antsy. Thus the name pretty much sums up the genesis of this car: from coupe (SLR), to hardcore coupe (the 722), and now to ...

Mercedes CL600 (2006) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 13 September 2006 11:54

Who would buy a CL when they could have an S-class or, more likely, an SL? You’d be surprised just how many people have fallen for the blend of S-class refinement, seating for four and a sharper package. Merc has shipped 46,800 of the knife-edged old-shape CL since 1999; only the chunky 80’s SEC did better, at 74,000. Doesn’t look ...

Mercedes GL500 (2006) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 02 August 2006 03:23

I'm imagining loads of huge new Benzes appearing at random, a different one wherever I look… Calm down. Deep breath. You're not hallucinating - there really are new Mercs every which way at the moment. And they just seem to get be getting bigger and bigger. But why? What? How? Let's recap. The new ML has been with us for ...
