The upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG was caught by our spy photographers during some tests close to the famous German Nürburgring. These are some of the first spy photos of the German model that will make its official debut this autumn at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG will have [...]

Lewis Hamilton scored his first podium finish for the Mercedes AMG Petronas team on Sunday at the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix, incidentally the team’s home race. While the newcomer had a great race overall, he did have one funny moment on the circuit. On his first pit stop, a tire change in Lap 8, the former McLaren driver actually went into the McLaren pit stop box, which many of course found amusing. The gaffe prompted these tweets from McLaren’s official Twitter account:

You hear that? That’s the sound of about 11,000 horsepower. AMG decided to bring together the whole family for a photo shoot with a side of extra noise. Though I wish this clip was longer, I’m grateful that it happened. Next time Mercedes, no music please. I love an overly dramatic orchestral arrangement as much [...]

Now this is the CLA we’ve been waiting for. For months now, Mercedes has been showing off the tantalizing A-Class AMG over seas as a sexy slab of sheet metal that would never make the flight across the Atlantic. No matter.

If you’d like a third-generation Mercedes-Benz A250, but you feel like it doesn’t quite pack the punch you require, you might want to check out German tuner Vath’s take. It makes some performance tweaks to get the car to 245 horsepower, which should be more than enough for those craving for some more out of the A-Class. This tuned model is called the V25, and there’s quite a considerable package given to the car. For starters, the 2.0-liter engine has been tuned, and aside from the HP boost, it also gets to 288 pound-feet of torque. The numbers are up from 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet on the stock A250.

Part of being in the class that can buy and S-Class means you’re able to demand exactly the kind of atmosphere you like. Mercedes’ always have a certain feel, and the brand new batch of S-classes are set to be the most “Mercedes-y” Benzes they’ve ever offered. They’ll keep the big power and massive dimensions [...]

This morning, as I sat stuck in the slow moving death march that is Los Angeles traffic, I let myself wonder what it would be like to commute in a monster truck. I could just honk my horn and roll right over the unmoving masses with impunity. Well, until the cops showed up, obviously. That’s [...]
