Scoop: A Bigger and More Mature Mercedes-Benz C-Class Is On Its Way


The new CLA compact sports saloon (or four-door coupe in marketing talk) is a game changer not only for the segment, but also for one of Mercedes' most popular models, as it creeps up very closely to the current C-Class in terms of pricing and dimensions.

Its presence in Benz's range means that the C-Class' successor will try to distance itself from the CLA through a longer and roomier body, a more mature design that draws inspiration from the larger S-Class, higher quality materials and a more refined ride, along, of course, with the rear-wheel drive setup (though, all-wheel drive will be optional).

New Revealing Spy Shots of Next 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan


While we don't have any new information to report on the next iteration of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, what we do have to share with you are some very revealing scoop photos of a pre-production model without any camouflage that was nabbed just before the German carmaker's people threw a cover on it.

The pictures expose the profile and rear end design of the W205 codenamed C-Class that both look softer and less sculptured than on the current model, with the smooth rear bringing to mind the new S-Class, which shouldn't surprise anyone.

Mercedes-Benz Boss Says Next C-Class to Get Convertible and Hybrid, But No 3-Series GT Rival


With all the prototypes of the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class we've seen going around lately, it was only a matter of time before the brand with the star started talking about its new compact premium sedan.

In an interview with Autonews, Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon laid out the firm's plans and divulged some interesting details about the new W205-codenamed C-Class, which for the first time ever, will be produced at the company's Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant starting next year.

Mercedes Launches New C-Class Edition C, and C 220 CDI 4MATIC Entry-Level AWD Model

Scoop: New Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan Poses with Less Camo


Mercedes-Benz is out testing the fourth generation (fifth, if you take into consideration the original 190E) of its C-Class again, only this time; the prototype model is wearing less camouflage giving us a better look at the compact executive sedan's shape, which from the looks of it, will resemble a smaller and sportier looking (next) W222 S-Class.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Special Edition Gains the Ying to its Yang in Japan


Last summer, Mercedes-Benz treated Japanese customers with a special edition version of its C63 AMG sedan painted in a matte black color with red accents on the wheels, and a two-tone, red and black interior, along with a power upgrade.

Apparently, the limited production edition was a success, as the German luxury brand has just announced a new version of the C63 AMG for Japan, only this time; it comes with a white body and red accents on the mirrors, brake calipers and boot lid spoiler plus a two-tone red and black leather interior (not the same as the previous version).

Spied: 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Looks Like a Small S-Class


Finally, the time has come for Mercedes-Benz to peel several layers of heavy camouflage off its 2014 C-Class sedan prototypes, and in doing so, to show us that the next generation of its compact executive car will draw heavily on the looks of the new S-Class.

The similarities in the design between the two differently sized models become more evident once you focus on the shape of the arched glasshouse and rear end.

The styling move might be intentional, as for the first time in its history, the C-Class will have some inside competition from the new CLA, which may be based on the smaller wheelbase platform of the A-Class hatch, but is actually 1.5 inches or 38mm longer than the current C-Class sedan.

Besides its S-Class-inspired looks, the new car, codenamed W205, will use the presence of the CLA to grow in size and approach closer to the E-Class, while also gaining more technological and premium goods.

Mcchip Injects Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Sedan with 650-Horses


As the flagship performance version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan series, the C63 AMG is anything but a slouch with its 480hp (487PS) 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8, but German aftermarket firm Mcchip-dkr believes that it could do with some improvements. Read more »

New Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG “Edition 507” Gets a 50HP Upgrade [w/Video]


In case you haven’t noticed, AMG has adopted forced induction for every new model it introduces, from the A- to the S-Class and practically anything in between, all in the name of improving fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions without missing out on performance.

There are two Mercedes-Benz models, though, that still hang on to the “old” naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, code-named M 156: the SLS AMG and the C 63 AMG. That’s a good thing because, no matter how efficient the turbocharged units are, the soundtrack of that V8 on full throttle is music to the ears of every sports car fan.

Yippee Ki-Yay, Munich Rivals: Mercedes Stars in New Die Hard Film, BMWs Get Blown Up


Has it really been 25 years since officer John McClane saved the day, or rather Christmas Eve and the hostages, including his wife at the Nakatomi Plaza? Oh yes, but that didn’t stop Bruce Willis from reprising the role thrice in the intervening years – or rather four times, since he’s also starring in the fifth Die Hard installment that’s coming out on Valentine’s Day.

In “A Good Day to Die Hard”, McClane travels to Moscow, meets his estranged son Jack and, as usual, accidentally gets involved in a terrorist scheme that he has to avert.

EVO Drag Races Shelby GT500 Mustang and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe


The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe and the Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang are two different cars from two separate schools of thought that we seriously doubt will ever be cross-shopped by consumers even in North America where they are both available. In Europe, even if one wanted to, you can't officially buy the Ford.

Despite their many differences, there's one thing that both cars lay claim to being good at: straight line acceleration, and it is this aspect of the two sports models that UK car magazine EVO set out to put to the test with a good ol' fashion drag race.

Vath Brings the Wrath on the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupé Black Series with Track and Aero Package


First, Mercedes-Benz brought us the 451hp (457PS) C63 AMG Coupe with the option of an AMG Performance package that lifts output to 480hp (487PS).

Then came the more aggressively tuned and styled Black Series edition with 510hp (517PS), and if that wasn't enough, Mercedes also offered two more optional packages for this model, the Aerodynamics and Track kits as well as an assortment of standalone carbon parts…

If you somehow managed to tick every single box in Mercedes-Benz's options list while ordering your C63 AMG Coupe Black Series Edition, including the Aerodynamic and Track packages, but are still not satisfied, then your next monetary adventure will be with an independent tuning shop like Vath.

New Cadillac ATS 3.6 vs. BMW 335i and Mercedes C350 in MT's 6-Cylinder Rematch


Like the VW Golf, the BMW 3-Series has been dominant for so long, shrugging off one newcomer after another, that it practically defined the premium compact sports sedan segment.

This, of course, makes it not only harder for BMW engineers to come up with something better every time there's a replacement due, but it also makes it the car all rivaling manufacturers have set as their benchmark.

Cadillac has made quite a fuss about its new ATS being a bona-fide, Nürburgring-bred sports saloon that can take on the best – i.e. the brand new, F30 3-Series.
