- New Mercedes-Benz CLC coupe
Mercedes is trying to win market on younger drivers with the new Mercedes-Benz CLC Coupe they’ve just released during the show in Geneva. Remember the CLC sketches we’ve shown last month and the CLC SportCoupe announced?

- The Mercedes-Benz CLCs That Weren’t Meant To Be
Now, wouldn’t it have been nice if the above rendering had actually managed to convince the decision-makers at Mercedes-Benz’ headquarters in Stuttgart that this is what the 2009 CLC should look like ?
We would have certainly preferred it from the final design proposition (check out the last two images after the jump) that economically wiggled [...]

The Vaticanmysitc white interior matches the Vaticanmystic white exterior which, we assume, matches [...]

- Essen 2007: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster by Brabus
Of all the products in Mercedes’ stable that could benefit from a thorough tweaking, the McLaren SLR isn’t one of them. But Brabus has built its name on taking things to the illogical extreme, and its modification of the new SLR Roadster is no different.
Equipped with a new set of cams, exhaust and a system [...]
