The 2018 Toyota Camry has improved in many, many ways. It’s actually both engaging to drive in a straight line and in corners, and it has styling that can raise your heart rate...

Baba take it easy, we are not fighting. The first guy said AMG isn't about performance but luxury and I said if I pitch the AMG (which will only be the S-class and it's many variants) in the luxury division it will loose. Off course it has been done against the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Continental flying spur it came second behind the RR. I am not saying we should drag race 5k pounds of metal nah

...Just for your records I hope you know it was Mercedes-amg that built the legendary McLaren F1's engine that was the fastest car in the world for almost 10years before bugatti came...

As long as the AMG V8 biturbo was disgraced by the NISMO GTR V6 twin turbo i am satisfied (ariwo koni music)

this shows that japanese technology would always be more superior to the germans benz or nothing fans over to you, i am at home come and beat me.

Let's assume the water got compressed at 50,000 Litres into a cylinder fit for only 200 Litre and the pressure used as speed when released at 100%. Very smart guy but dangerous. Can't believe water has such force. Imagine what an Hydrogen-Bomb can do. Jeeezzz!

Hey, even with those gold chains and chit, they have good taste in cars. That there is a W124 Mercedes from waaay back in the day, precisely between 1987 and 1994.

Shey you know I am not dull ? _but, walahi, I no understand this article. The only thing I got is that, electrified means different things to various automakers.

Let me read again.

LeJeun3:

“Electrified,” as a buzzword, does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It gets your attention, it gives you a mental image of electricity pulsing through a car and powering it into the next era of technology, and makes you think companies are committed to a far greener and more evolved near future than they really are.

But, because automakers aren’t just going to stop using it after reading this blog, car companies’ future plans require a deep look at the context around the word to know what it really means — that is, until cars truly are “all-electrified” and carmakers move onto other annoying buzzwords.

No matter where on the scale an “electrified” automaker falls, don’t get caught up in buzzwords you read online — especially if it’s not completely clear what they mean, and especially if they’re meant to sell you products or make you interested in a brand.

Look into it, see what it really stands for in context, then decide how you feel. Most of the time, “electrified” doesn’t mean what you might think.

“Electrified” in the Jaguar release conveys, via context clues like “giving our customers even more choice,” that all new Jaguar/Land Rover models launched from 2020 will have electric, hybrid or mild hybrid versions. The Honda releases seem to say the same thing, but there aren’t enough context clues to tell.

The Audi A8 release is about something totally different. It uses “electrified” to talk about the new A8’s “mild hybrid” setup, which is the step on the ladder between a traditional gasoline engine and a hybrid vehicle. The mild hybrid, according to Car Buyer, has an electric motor that assists the engine to make it more efficient but cannot power the car on its own like most hybrids can.

That doesn’t sound nearly as “electrified” as the word makes it seem, but none of these definitions do. The Polestar announcement doesn’t hint in the slightest at what its definition of “electrified” is, while the Volvo and Ford releases consider both hybrid and all-electric vehicles as “electrified.”

...Automaker press releases across the board talk about “electrified” lineups and “electrification” in the coming years, all to the sincere confusion of the people reading them. And the confusion is completely warranted. Not even automakers have the same definition of “electrified,” as is evidenced by a quick search of press releases on the Newspress database that automotive journalists often use:

* “Every Jaguar and Land Rover launched from 2020 will be electrified”
* “Honda commits to electrified technology for every new model launched in Europe”
* “Batteries required — All-new Audi A8 to feature electrified powertrain as standard”
* “Polestar announces new management team to develop electrified performance brand for Volvo Cars”
* “Honda’s ‘electric vision’ — Two thirds of European sales to feature electrified powertrains by 2025”
* “Volvo cars announces new target of one million electrified cars sold by 2025”
* “Ford adding electrified transit, Mustang, F-150 by 2020 in major EV push; expanded U.S. plant to add 700 jobs”

Those are all from the last six months, and, upon reading the press releases — and using context clues, because the releases don’t come right out and say what “electrified” truly is — most car companies have different meanings of the word...

If you know how diesel engine runs then you wouldn't be able to draw up conclusions. They have clearly made a statement of Making two technologies as I have earlier pointed out. Who knows if they know the homogeneous tech is a failed one already. I might be wrong though until we the engineers visually see and feel this on our dirty hands

Okay you don't get it.
I rest my case.
