There are several major automotive milestones going on in 2013, including the 50th Anniversary of Lamborghini and the iconic Porsche 911. Add to the list venerable British automaker Aston Martin, which is celebrating its 100th Anniversary with one of the uglier cars we’ve seen a looong time. The malformed CC100 Speedster Concept was “inspired” by [...]

Ok now picture this: You’ve been flown to Hamburg, Germany to witness the reveal of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship vehicle, the hallowed S-Class. They shuttle you to a giant hangar at the Airbus factory, next to where the fuselage of the world’s biggest commuter plane, the A380, is built. Once there the fine craftsmen at Benz ply [...]

German artist/illustrator Les Forges MDK has designed these iPhone 5 cases after one of the more enduring icons of both automotive and the 1980s. The DeLorean DMC-12 — and specifically its grill — is used as the inspiration to these cases, and features DeLorean’s logo with the vertical slits of its fascia. No word yet on [...]

The way to do that is to stagger droptop versions, then high performance editions, [...]

Just like almost every other auto manufacturer in the world, Mercedes-Benz understands the crucial transition to going small. While the luxury aspect of the brand continues to grow larger and larger, new segments are opening up below the expanding waistlines that offer Benz a chance at a new market. It was such a world that [...]

Perhaps to feed Japan’s seemingly insatiable hunger for all-black G550 SUVs, Mercedes-Benz has announced the production of a vehicle they’ve dubbed the “Night Edition”. Only 100 of these blacked-out versions of the G550 will be built and sold exclusively in Land of the Rising Sun later this spring. The ”Night Edition” gleams with an obsidian black exterior [...]
