Mercedes’ newest and smallest AMG performance car is shaping up to be even faster than previously thought.


It’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine sends 355 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque to all four-wheels via the latest version of Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive. Previously, the brand said it would run from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, but during testing at Willow Springs International Speedway this week is showing the car reaching that speed in 4.4 seconds – a tenth of a second faster than previously thought. Its top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph.

Money money money...

Siena: Nice topic.

So far, how would you rate the overall performance (handling, drive, braking comfort etc) with that of a Japmobile?

What engine type is your car, as in size, cylinder configuration? It may be a Mercedes Benz, but I still believe Audi has taken the reins from the three-pointed star.  Not many Mercedes came with AWD, unless you stepped up to an SUV. BMW still offer AWD in the 325 / 328 / 330 / 525 / 528 / 530i models, though mostly limited to Tourere. All Audi models, bar the A2, are available as AWD (Quattro).

I'd love to see your C-class perform against an Audi A4 Quattro in the wet, hehehe!  

Siena, nothing like this yet in the Audi world for a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder auto:

Intelligent light heralds new S-Class at Abuja fair

OCTOBER 30, 2013 BY RASHEED BISIRIYU
16 Comments

Weststar Associates Limited stole the show at the just concluded 15th edition of Abuja motor fair with its unprecedented display of 2014 models of some Mercedes Benz and its other vehicles.

The stand of the auto firm was also the cynosure of all eyes as visitors to the Eagle Square venue of the five-day event (October 22 – 26) were attracted by the specially-decorated pavilion and an array of future cars.

One of the luxury vehicles, the new S-Class, got special attention on the opening day as it was unveiled by Vice-President Namadi Sambo.

Interestingly, the redesigned 2014 version of the Mercedes-Benz flagship S-Class sedan went on sale in the United States less than two weeks ago, backed by a marketing blitz.

The unveiling of the new S-Class in Abuja also came about two months after the vehicle was introduced to the motoring world at this year’s Frankfort Auto Show in Germany.

Auto experts say the impressive new S-Class came with luxury and safety features that have never been offered before.

An online auto publication, autoblog describes it as a technological marvel.

Weststar says the vehicle extends the boundaries of technology on many levels. “It is not just a technological spearhead for Mercedes-Benz, but also for automotive development as a whole and certainly the global benchmark for luxury motoring,” it states, adding that its numerous innovative comfort and safety features will provide an all-new driving experience.

It quotes the Chairman, Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Dr. Dieter Zetsche, as saying, “No other car stands for the Mercedes-Benz brand promise more than the S-Class.

“Rather than being about safety or aesthetics, power or efficiency, comfort or dynamism, our aspirations were ‘the best or nothing’ in every respect.”

Engine

The new S 500 is available in a 4.7-litre V-8 engine with an output of 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

This is said to be the best-performing model in the lineup, as it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds with a top speed limited to 155 mph.

According to Weststar, a whole host of new systems makes the new S 500 even safer, more comfortable and efficient.

Interior

The interior design presents a view of a classic, superior and cutting-edge saloon. It has a generous use of wood trim, especially in the dashboard and centre console, as in the Exclusive Package.

There is plenty of comfort for the passengers in the rear as they are also seated in the first-class – the design and exclusivity of the seats, door panels and all controls are the same, high standard with the front seats.

The “first-class rear suite” incorporates a business centre console combining personal comfort with practical convenience (integration of a telephone handset, additional cooling box/stowage compartments in the arm rest of rare seats, folding table.

The occupants of the new S 500 benefit from the moderate increase in vehicle size by an improvement in all the interior dimensions, says the firm.

Safety and other features

The S-Class should be a standout for its safety, especially in the light of its newest technology.

The car came standard with dual front, front side and rear side airbags; curtain airbags; inflatable rear seat belts; anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control; active head restraints; adaptive brake lights; and pre-safe, which prepares the car when an accident is imminent, by locking doors and tightening seatbelts, and preparing the brakes for full application.

Its other safety features listed in a report by thecarconnection.com are blind-spot monitors; lane keeping assist; adaptive cruise control with following and steering capability in traffic; forward-collision alerts and prevention with braking; and wipers with embedded fluid jets on both sides of the blades.

“There’s also an available surround-view camera, improved night vision that can throw a spotlight on a pedestrian ahead, to warn them of oncoming traffic; and Active Parking Assist, which can guide the S-Class into either a parallel or perpendicular parking spot,” it states.

It notes that the list of safety features is exhaustive, adding that the S-Class’ air suspension is programmed to compensate for heavy crosswinds by adjusting suspension stiffness; it factors in torque-vector braking, which applies braking to the inside rear wheel to tighten cornering.

Two very high-quality audio systems are available which were developed together with the high-end audio specialist Burmester: the Burmester Surround Sound system and the Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound system, while the multi-user system such as DVD Changer 6, allows independent access to the sources of media entertainment from any seat- both front and rare i.e. TV Tuner. This is evident in the Rare Seat Entertainment Package.

[b][/b]The new S-Class is the first vehicle in the world whose interior and exterior come without a single light bulb.

This there new ALIEN LOOKS styling is giving concern in the looks department.
That small turbo engine is something else, even some of its bigger brothers will struggle to beats it on dead heat sprint.

Well done MERC.

@yungboss and Gee2728 this is a Mercedes Benz Thread. Please don't derail this thread. You should take your BMW vs Mercedes Benz comparism to the appropriate thread.

The 2011/12 S63 amg used to be the most powerful non-turbo V8 engine in the world,I wonder whether it still holds that as of today.

Most Benz enthusiasts on this thread I believe are more interested in practicality i.e. moderate power in relation with reasonable fuel economy, pocket friendly maintenance and access to capable hands!

I believe google should be a good place to ask your question....

House pls I need info abt the availability and price for a new catalytic converter for a W202 C230K....all suggestions are welcomed.

Hello brother...what's wrong with your catalytic converter?

Eyop: Hello brother...what's wrong with your catalytic converter?

Eyop, dont mind Gee, i know him, not as if there is anything wrong with his catalytic converter-he is only playing save, but it's good practice to swap part like that for better efficiency and performance.He loves that his ride so much that he just want to keep it like new all through. Just like i just want to change the steering box of my c180 this morning, to make it feel so tight like that of my 190. Its good to keep things new and efficient always by so doing, you wouldn't have a down time, you would have settle issues before they even raise their ugly head and get faulty and embarrass you on the way.

Gee, you can buy from ebay and from http://www.amazon.com

preventive maintenance is good, but I think it's not the best to change a cat just when there are no signs of failure, well it depends on how you feel. But a good OBD2 tool would be best to use first before embarking on such a costly project...

When they are driven for over 100000km, its just good to change them(catalytic converters muffler and you o2 sensors) to have your car perform again like new and for fuel efficiency purposes(infact you'll see a drastic return in your fuel economy).Even your strutt, shocks,tensioner pulleys and shock adjuster etc are not left out. I dnt thing your ODB2 will detect anything at this point because they are still good but just too old .Who says older cars cant be made to return efficiency and performances like new? Well, its personal cos i'm use to old cars and their performances

If these components are too old in the lower 4 cylinder Benz(c180, c160) and BMWs(318,316), you will start having serious lethargy effect and inefficiency, no scanner will read lethargy for you. It will feel like they are underpowered machine, but its not so, just those components age.

Eyop: Hello brother...what's wrong with your catalytic converter?

Tnk u bro, I knw they say dnt fix wats not broken. Ever since I bought this car have tried 2 replace most parts even the engine which my mechanic discouraged me.

Dnt want to wake up one morning and will be begging my wife for her car keys. 'My principle is 2 fix b4 its broken'

I just arrived Edo state yesterday and I was so baffled at the rate at which people use the w202 c class in this state. From the capital city, Benin, to all other towns, car lots and roads have a good number of this car. I made enquiries why the users like the car and they all have a couple of good things to say about the cars ranging from economy, durability, style, etc.

My brother they aint lying, i own one in PH and i'm always happy all the way, cos of her low maintenance cost and reliability with very durable parts.. I was going to change the steering box of mine today , but i ended up changing the centre thyroid and draining out the steering fluid replacing with a new dextron IIId fluid and my steering became so tight and precise as no other once again, so i come to wonder if the steering box of this car do ever get bad at all, i mean a car that is approaching 20 yrs old and the steering box still handles like new

This really sound interesting.

Sure man.

Bros, i spend 6 hrs in that process, all the spares brought to me by my dealer could not match my head shaft that terminate into the gearbox . I loosen almost all the looseable trying to swap components with the ones brought to me with my uninstalled gearbox but all to no avail. What i finally did was to flush out all the fluid in it, assemble it back and install to my vehicle. I then use the opportunity to examine my centre thyroid, it didnt look too good(my road is terrible no doubt, worst than an off-road, tho under endless construction), had to bring it down and ordered a new replacement, another 3 hrs to install all that back . Mehn during testing the car felt like just bought it new from MB factory i never felt any of the endless gallops and the clearances in the steering wheel, went for alignment and came home was only cushioning through my horrible road at the greatest ease as though i was driving an ML.

It felt so solid. What am i trying to say, this car components are so rugged and reliable .I can now say it has finally pick the shape of my MB 190
