Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review and video

Ben Barry, 06 November 2008 16:00

This is the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL65 Black Series, the star of CAR Magazine’s December 2008 cover. CAR was invited to an exclusive test drive of this outlandish machine on road and track at Mas du Clos, France. Just 350 SL Blacks will be produced, with only nine coming to the UK. We’ll deal with the road test here, but you’ll ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package costs £3210 and promises to turn the four-door saloon from Affalterbach into an M3 beater. For your money you get uprated brakes and suspension, a limited slip differential and a steering wheel trimmed in nappa leather and Alcantara. Shouldn’t that kit be standard on the Mercedes C63 AMG? It’s a good point. The ...

Mercedes SLK55 AMG CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 14 August 2008 09:32

We like the Mercedes SLK. Since the original was launched back in 1997 its unique combination of premium image, four-season versatility from its folding metal roof and sheer feel-good factor has elevated it to an unassailable position above its BMW, Porsche and Audi rivals. And if the first generation model felt a little soft and lacked real athleticism, the second iteration ...

Mercedes-Benz C350 Estate Sport CAR review

Glen Waddington, 29 July 2008 14:13

What’s the point of the Mercedes-Benz C350 Estate Sport? Sure, it looks great and it’s got loads of power, but no way can a small estate (even a small Mercedes estate) be useful too. Surely you’d just buy an E-class if you wanted space. Wouldn’t you? Should I just buy the salon, then? Well, as it turns out, no - ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2008): CAR review

Christopher Hubbard, 18 June 2008 09:28

This is the top 'banana' – the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG with 507bhp and 465lb ft of torque. Mildly revised along with the rest of the CLS range, the CLS63 gets a new set of so-called silencers, and the same downshift-blipping auto-box as the AMG C-class. Is this enough to take the four-door uber-coupe from good to truly great? There’s only one ...

Mercedes A170 ECO Stop/start 5dr CAR review

Guy Bird, 30 May 2008 09:10

Luckily for the Mercedes A-class, its otherwise dull 2008 facelift has been saved from obscurity by interesting new engine and powertrain developments. Ignore the forgettable visual exterior and interior tweaks – a rubbing strip going body coloured here, an aerial getting shorter to be more ‘carwash compatible’ there – and hear this genuine first: from October 2008, the Mercedes A-class ...

Mercedes GLK350 CAR review

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 SL63 AMG (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 09 March 2008 09:00

Mercedes’ SL gets a new face for 2008 but there’s far more to the SL63 AMG than simple cosmetic surgery. As the name suggests, the big Benz sports car finally adopts the naturally aspirated V8 that’s already available in other AMG cars, which means that the old supercharged ‘55’ V8 is no more. So what are the headline numbers for the ...

Mercedes C180 SE CAR review

Anonymous, 07 January 2008 09:00

Four cylinders? A manual gearbox? Not traditionally attractive territory for a Mercedes, especially if you’re talking petrol rather than diesel. But Mercedes hopes you’ll go for this car rather than BMW’s 318i ES, and pay a couple of grand more for the extra 12bhp and 14lb ft afforded by the Merc’s supercharged engine. Taxi spec doesn’t do it for me... ...

Mercedes C220 CDI estate CAR review

Anonymous, 19 September 2007 05:30

Ooh, a compact exec estate. What combination of sport/tourer/Avant/wagon is it called? None: the Mercedes C-Class estate is, well, just that. Plain old estate. And the largest premium-class estate at that. How very sensible. Mercedes may have been unusually bold in its approach to the latest C – hacking off the stick-up grille badge for Sport editions, making the chassis ...
