Mercedes-Benz has finally lifted the cover off the next generation 2010 E-Class, the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG. Up from the W211 chassis’s 507hp to 518 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque, the new E63 generation sports sedan is poised to deliver top driving performance. AMG is boasting that their tuning team has taken Mercedes’ family sedan to new hights, promising outstanding performance, thrilling handling characteristics and advanced technology as seen from its sibling, the SL63 AMG high-performance Roadster. The 6208cc V8 is mated to the SL’s AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, and together, the E63 AMG accelerates from standstill to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited), all while allowing it to consume 12% less premium petrol than the previous iteration.
The new E63 AMG from Mercedes Benz will get its debut at the New York Auto Show next week, and is expected to make its U.S. sales debut in November 2009. Standard 18-inch or optional 19-inch alloys with matching rubber help transfer all that power to the pavement. Official press release and picture gallery after the jump.

Planning a 2010 trip to Stuttgart? This will most likely be the taxi that’ll pick you up. Without a doubt, it’ll be a nicer taxi than you’ve ridden in before.
From the looks of all the pics we’ve seen so far, Gone are any signs of the early 2000s, channeling the rolling granite-like Mercedes of the 1980’s, from a quality so peerless that it felt like they would last a lifetime.

Although the 2008 Paris Motor Show doesn’t kick off until October 4th, Mercedes has released details and concept sketches of a new design study they’re calling the Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION. Built to provide a “high level of practical usability” and a coupé that “appeals to the heart with fast, thrilling lines,” the Mercedes designers decided to make use of the “shooting brake” body style, and combine “sporty and elegant design with stylish practicality.”
This fancy looking two door wagon is a wild way of previewing the lines of the 2010 W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and teasing hatch fans everywhere. Powered by the same small diesel mill found in the Mercedes C250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime, the concept features everything you’d come to expect from a Mercedes.

Mercedes has announced their latest C-Class car with its next-generation four-cylinder diesel mill, uniquely titled “BlueEFFICIENCY.” And the specs are certainly impressive: Mercedes boasts 204 HP and 369 lb-ft of torque from the 2.2-liter four, while returning a combined 45 MPG and meeting EU5 emissions standards in the C-Class Prime form. Mercedes states the BlueEFFICIENCY engine will replace four separate diesels at the company, and be offered in the E-Class, the new GLK-Class and in a future E‑Class Coupe (yes, you heard me right – an E-Class Coupé is coming) in addition to the C-Class.
The technological highlights include a maximum ignition pressure of 200 bar; fourth-generation common-rail technology with a rail pressure increased to 2000 bar and a new piezo-injector concept with direct nozzle needle control (for greater flexibility in injection timing); larger, variable oil spray nozzles and a variable water pump; dual-stage supercharging; and a camshaft drive positioned in the rear. But don’t worry, If you don’t know what any of that means, the performance figures speak for themselves.
Equipped on the C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, the new 2.2L diesel engine is capable of propelling the C-Class from 0-62 mph in just 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. But what makes the powerplant truly unique is it’s fuel consumption. The diesel helps the C-Class consume an NEDC average of 5.2 liters of fuel per 100 km (or 45 mpg, for Americans). In addition, CO2 emissions weigh in at 138 g/km, enough to easily comply with future EU5 emissions standards.

This C6 Corvette ragtop has been caught rear-ending a W210 Mercedes E-Class in Ventura county on the morning of September 5th. Luckily, no one was hurt, but take a look at the the structural integrity of a convertible Corvette. Considering that it has driven under a 2 Ton Mercedes Benz, its remarkably in shape. One must wonder how the Vette driver felt after it was all over, staring up at the Mercedes’ driveshaft.
