The Gulfstream, which is what this FAB Design Mercedes SLS styling kit is known in the business, remains to this day the sickest, biggest and most elaborate body kit for the German super car. That is probably why when the builders of this particular one, RACE! South Africa, revisited the project they decided only to wrap it. Yep, the FAB Design Mercedes SLS was still pretty much perfect in every other way. That is, of course, if you like to make an already huge car even bigger and imposing and build on its showoff-y features such as the swollen arches and gullwing doors. If you are into this sort of thing the Gulfstream is right up your alley. It comes with custom bumpers featuring a spoiler...

The “mobility of the future” is a subject always on the forefront of any major car maker’s thoughts, especially one as iovative and creative as Mercedes-Benz. Each ear they come up with a new concept showcasing their latest ideas in this field, and here’s this year’s offering, the Mercedes-Benz Generation EQ, presented at the Paris Motor Show. On the surface Mercedes-Benz Generation EQ looks like a fairly ugly crossover, or Coupe SUV as Mercedes likes to call it. But the importance of this concept is not about the skin, but rather what’s undeeath that. What is under there is a powerful electric drive system consisting of two electric motors with variable outputs which can be set using scalab...

One of the latest projects of Folienwerk-NRW tuning center is a Prior Design Mercedes S-Class (W221 generation) which they have kitted out, wheeled up, and then wrapped in chameleon colors. This kind of wrap seems to be back in trend. In any case we are seeing more and more of them around. The Prior Design Mercedes S-Class the boys at NRW have worked on features a full set wide body kit complete with aero parts and everything. It must be one of the most heavily tuned W221s in the whole world, what with the kit, the suspension, and the wheels, not to mention the wrap which they call Rising Sun Red/Gold. But is it the coolest, the prettiest, the most elegant? Obviously no! The wide body kit on...

The special versions of the Mercedes G-Class, including G63 6×6, G65 AMG, and G500 4×4, are produced in very limited numbers. Even rarer than those are the tuned versions, like this Brabus Mercedes G500 4×4. That is why it is a big deal every time a new one is released into the wild. It gives us a chance to have a closer look at the thing and marvel at its awesomeness. What sets this particular Brabus Mercedes G500 4×4 apart from the other examples we have seen before is a number of exclusive details on the exterior, such as the powered ruing boards and the Brabus wheels, and an utterly unique interior. The car features a lovely brown leather interior complete with brown carbon fiber trims, ...

Of all the aftermarket kits released so far for the coupe version of the W222 Mercedes S-Class, the one by Wald seems to be the most popular in the U.S. Here we have yet another Wald Mercedes S-Class Coupe adoed with this body kit, and this one also gets a nice wrap and some fancy wheels. Even though it does not look like it, Wald Mercedes S-Class Coupe visual treatment is quite an extreme one that requires extensive work on the panels and a lot of cutting and sanding and adjusting to install. And when someone commits to such a thing, they usually go all the way and get a super wide body kit. But Wald’s treatment is designed for those who like a bit of subtlety, those who want to show off th...

As we have said before, to really appreciate what’s so good about a high-end, expensive wide body kit you have to see it next to ordinary cars. Well, that is the occasion we have here, and the wide body car in question is the magnificent Prior Design Mercedes AMG GT. Now, this car looks mighty impressive in the heavily edited press photos, but we always had a little bit of reservations about it knowing not many tuner cars can bare close scrutiny out in the real world. But as you can clearly see here Prior Design Mercedes AMG GT passes the real world test with flying color. If anything, it looks better here in the midst of all those vans and hatchbacks and scooters. This setting really puts i...

To celebrate its tenth aiversary Mercedes-Benz Museum has commissioned a couple of short animated films which shine a new light on the well-known history of the brand. This seems like a good way to inform the new generation, who has no interest in anything that doesn’t come in pre-digested video form, of the history of one of the world’s biggest brand names. As some of you may remember a while ago Mercedes-Benz also commissioned a number of comic strips to highlight their history through a medium today’s youth seem to be keen on. The new animated films build on the same effort. The story of Mercedes is kind of a cool story which is why the company spends so much money and energy trying to re...
