Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 15:00

In the week leading up the 2013 Monaco F1 Grand Prix, you’d expect to see some exotic cars patrolling the principality’s streets – but perhaps not camouflaged sporty BMW test mules.

Are those hard-working BMW test-drivers taking a break in the ...

The all-new Mercedes S-class arrives in June 2013. These new spy shots give the clearest indication yet of the big Benz's styling, including the undisguised shape of the front grille, clearly inspired by the 2008 F700 concept car’s.

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 25 March 2010 09:31

Mercedes is changing the name of the big CL coupé – this year's facelift ushers in the new S-class Coupé name, more closely aligning the two-door S-class with the E-class Coupé. It's also a return to the naming strategy of previous big Merc coupés – such as the 1980s SEC models. At a stroke, the new 2010 S-class Coupé, codenamed ...
