Mercedes-AMG has taken the wraps off its latest performance four-door, the 2019 AMG E 53 Sedan, delivering more speed and smarter tech than the outgoing model. Replacing the old AMG E 43 Sedan, the new car packs a 3.0-liter in-line six cylinder turbocharged engine, using Mercedes' EQ Boost technology, for 429 horsepower.
Mercedes-AMG's family of potent AMG GT cars is gaining a new member, with the 2019 AMG GT S Roadster offering a third droptop version to better hear the V8. Expected to arrive in the US late this year, the new car is expected to do 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, balancing the affordability of the entry-level Roadster and the performance of the flagship in the process.
Bad news for big engine lovers: your chance to pick up a Mercedes-AMG V12 is rapidly narrowing with rumors that the automaker is pulling the plug on its beastliest droptop. For some time now, the upper echelons of Mercedes' performance car range have been unusually crowded, as twin-turbo V8 engines muscled in on V12 territory.
Mercedes-AMG has given its C 63 family a revamp for New York, bringing along the latest V8 biturbo-powered Sedan, Coupe, and Cabriolet with their extra-aggressive styling. The 2019 C 63 Sedan, Coupe, and Cabriolet keep the 4.0-liter, handmade AMG engine of before, now tuned for 469 horsepower in "regular" form and 503 HP in perkier "S" configuration.
AMG's fearsome coupes are getting a sedan sibling, though the 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is no compromise on the sports front. Unveiled officially at the Geneva Motor Show 2018 this week, the new four-door borrows the aggressive design and focus on performance of its two-door cousins but makes the whole thing more practical. Well, as practical as up to 630 horsepower can ever be.
At the Geneva Motor Show last year, Mercedes-AMG wowed everyone with its impressive GT Concept. Now, this year's show — less than a month away — will see the debut of the real thing: Mercedes' latest take on blurring the line between a performance sedan and a so-called four-door coupe. To help build anticipation, a set of spy-themed photos of the four-door GT have been released, complete with camouflage.
Almost all car makers have made promises about putting a street-legal race car on the road, by which they really mean a road car with race car power and speed. AMG, on the other hand, intends to put a literal one in consumer’s hands. At least that was the big splash it made in Frankfurt last September when it unveiled the Project ONE hypercar, which not only leave other road cars in its dust but even looked like an F1 speed demon. At the North America International Auto Show (NAIAS), Vincent Nguyen, SlashGear's Editor-in-Chief got a chance to sit with Tobias Moers, Chief Executive of AMG, to get his insight on Project ONE, electrifying the future, and, of course, the MBUX.
There's no denying that Mercedes-AMG makes a good looking sports sedan, and the 2019 AMG CLS 53 is an excellent example of the breed. Announced at the Detroit Auto Show 2018 today, the (arguably most striking) member of the new 53-series promises no shortage of speed from its 429 horsepower. However, there's also an electrified surprise under the hood.
Mercedes has pulled the wraps off three new AMG models that slot into the AMG 53-series. The new models include the AMG 53 CLS, AMG 53 E-Class Coupe, and the AMG 53 E-Class Cabriolet. All three of these new AMD models run the same inline six under the hood.
We love to see spy shots of new and changed cars around here and the latest round of spy shots shows that some changes to the Mercedes-Benz C class AMG flavors are coming. It's hard to tell which car is grey and which is black in some of these spy shots, but the gray car is the C43 Coupe and the black one is the C63 Coupe.
Mercedes-Benz took the Frankfurt Auto Show with both a bang and a whirr as it showcased not just a world-beating Mercedes-AMG Project One 'hypercar' - the brand's first foray into such rarefied air in well over a decade - but also several facets of its electrification strategy, which figures ever more prominently in the plans of all global automakers.
With the 2017 Frankfurt International Motor Show just over a week away, Mercedes-Benz has taken to teasing its new Mercedes-AMG Project One, a street-legal, Formula 1-inspired hybrid supercar. While the car maker has already shown off the high-tech powertrain, it's kept the body design tightly under wraps. But it's starting to draw the curtain back, with a new image that hints at a low-riding, angular shape.
