Review : Mercedes-Benz CLASS E 300 BLUETEC HYBRID

With respect to the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, to date the most efficient of the Mercedes E-Class, this means a saving of 2 liters per 100 kilometers and emissions lower 20 grams per kilometer.

The hybrid system, which will make the E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID in clean and efficient vehicle in its class, with start / stop, regeneration of braking energy and the possibility of driving 100% electric power when demand and load batteries allow. A point in favor of the new E-Class hybrid is that thanks to the use of a very compact, lithium-ion batteries, habitability is not lost or boot capacity, keeping the same space as the other versions of the range.

The Mercedes E 400 Hybrid gasoline launch next year in the U.S. market, and quite possibly could be sold also in Japan and China, but so far not been reported marketing plans for Europe. That if we will see soon on our roads is the E 300 Bluetec Hybrid diesel , available in both familiar and sedan body, which will arrive in showrooms next year.

This model combines the already efficient 4-cylinder diesel engine and 204 hp of the brand with the star, with a 20 kW electric motor . The diesel engine is the same as riding the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, with the saloon and get a tight mixed-cycle fuel consumption of 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers and emissions of 129 grams of CO2.

Adding the power of diesel engine and electric 204 hp and 27 hp, and torque delivery of 500 Nm and 250 Nm, we have a total power output figure of 231 hp combined with a staggering maximum torque of 750 Nm . However, consumption is reduced to levels not seen in a vehicle in this class and power, standardizing only 4.2 l/100 km and about 109 grams of emissions of CO2/km in the combined cycle.

Mc Laren Mercedes SLR 722 Epochal


The luxurious german car tuning company Wheelsandmore has prepared for us today an incredible tuning of Mc Laren Mercedes SLR 722 Epochal. The aim of the company is to deliver more style with the fine and exclusive tuning upgrades, starting with the enhancement of the whole 650 hp (478 kW), which seem to be not enough. This was made through the installation of a handcrafted exhaustsystem with sports catalysts and remote-able flaps. Moreover they were adapted to remapped ecu software and a new pulley, thus delivering the amazing 727 hp (535 kW) and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft). We are speaking about real beast here, aren’t we!

But in order to handle these grandorous changes in the power, Wheelsandmore has required a revision in suspension. This was made possible thank to the specialists of KW, who have dedeveloped a compression and rebounded the adjustable and full race approved system for this Mc Laren Mercedes SLR722.

Of course they have considered the optimization of the weight of the vehicle. For example we have here fully handcrafted, multi-piece forged wheels of the type 6Sporz² which undeniably make a significant change and have a huge effect over the improvement of the acceleration. Furthermore those high-end rims are the perfect fill for the carbon fiber body. Specifically their size is 9.0 x20″ at the front and 11.5 x 20 inches at the rear axle. In this Mc Laren Mercedes SLR722 there is nothing but high quality and standard. Another proof for this fact is the 255/30/20 and 305/25/20 Sportmaxx tires from Dunlop.


At last the nappaleather, carbon parts, the new steering wheel, the stepped alcantara and the detailed red stitchings are making the Mercedes Mc Laren SLR 722 even more unique and are adding to its individual appearance! Just see the gallery below!
