Watch the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive Silently Navigate the Ascari Circuit

With a Ferrari F12berlinetta- and Lamborghini Aventador-beating 740HP (750PS) and 1,000 Nm (737.5 lb-ft) from four electric motors positioned close to the wheels, the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive that made its debut at the Paris Auto Show is the most powerful production car Mercedes-Benz has ever launched.

Despite being priced more than twice as much as the V8 petrol SLS AMG, millionaires interested in boasting their “green” credentials probably won’t be deterred by the more than half a million dollars sticker price.

After watching this video footage sourced from a surveillance camera for the very first time, you may find yourself saying, "There's no way any of this could have really happened". Yet it did.

Do we feel bad for what happened to the woman? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean we won't categorize this incident as a huge fail…

The scene starts with the woman getting into a white Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan and backing out from what looks like a residential driveway. Just before she reaches the road, the woman stops, gets out of the car, and walks a few feet to pick up something from the ground. Bad move…

He may not be in his prime, but he is a seven-time Formula 1 world champion and currently holds nearly every record there is in the sport.

Love him or hate him, Michael Schumacher had the guts to make a comeback after a three-year absence and at the age of 43, instead of basking in his glory and wealth, he’s fighting the young guns in tracks around the world.

Mercedes-Benz is preparing to up the ante in the luxury segment with a new and more technologically advanced S-Class model series, a prototype of which was recorded on film by the crew at TFLCar, while taking a break from testing near Denver, Colorado.

Set to be marketed as a 2014 model in North America and as a 2013 model elsewhere, the next S-Class will bring a host of…magical high-tech features.

First, there was the CLS: a car with four doors and four seats that claimed its distinctive styling and rakish glasshouse made it a four-door coupe and not a regular saloon.

Well, no matter what they called it, the CLS brought Mercedes-Benz a nice profit thanks to its sales success and actually launched a brand-new niche, forcing Audi and BMW to follow suit with the A7 Sportback and the Gran Coupe respectively.

We have seen many videos of Russian drivers trying to overtake motorists at stoplights, but most of those filmed attempts that make it on the internet for our amusement end up in tears and shattered metals.

Not this one, though, as the driver of the black Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (that's the 6.3-liter V8-powered model with 451 horses and rear-wheel drive) made a sweet pass with a perfectly executed drift without any incident whatsoever.

Check out the short video clip for yourself right past the break.

Thanks for the tip Vassia P.!

One of the most eagerly anticipated new Mercedes-Benz models is the CLA, which is the toned down, production version of the Concept Style Coupé (CSC) presented to the world this past spring.

In the months following the debut of the concept, we saw several prototype models including the performance orientated CLA 45 AMG variant, but all of them were heavily disguised.

For more than five decades, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and its predecessors have defined the luxury car segment in many ways, from the technological advancements to their styling.

That's not to say you won't find the occasional odd looking example, like these two S-Class models.

Spies have captured the next generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan on film while engineers were testing a heavily camouflaged prototype in Spain.

With a possible world premiere at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the new C-Class sedan, internally called the W205, won't be arriving in European dealerships before spring of 2014 with North American deliveries likely to commence in the fall of the same year.

An accident with Ralf Schumacher's C-Class Coupe that occurred at the pit lanes during DTM practice at Zandvoort last Friday left four Mercedes-Benz crew-members injured.

Video footage shows Michael Schumacher's younger brother clipping an air hose with his Mercedes-Benz racecar's wing as he was leaving the pits. The airline then snapped and struck several crew members throwing them on the ground with force and almost decapitating one of the men.

From 1985 to 1992, secret agent MacGyver was able to save the world some 139 times (that's the number of the TV series' episodes) using nothing more than everyday materials and of course, his trusty Swiss Army knife and duct tape.

Two decades after the action-adventure television series ended, Angus MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson, may have lost his famous blonde mullet but his skills remain in demand.

The closest you'll get to a performance orientated model in the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan range (codenamed W222) is no doubt the two AMG-branded and –developed models to be sold under the S63 and S65 AMG monikers.

There is no question that the prototype S-Class spied by our scoop photographers while filing up at a gas station in Germany is one of the two AMG models, and thanks to the square tail pipes, we can tell you that this is most likely the S63 variant as the S65 features twin oval-shaped exhausts on either side of the bumper.

According to sources, both iterations are expected to keep the same powerplants as the current models, though AMG engineers may make some subtle tweaks to improve their fuel efficiency.

As such, the S63 AMG will feature a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, which in its current form delivers 530hp (537PS) at 5,500 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800Nm) from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm in standard trim, and 556bhp (564PS) and 664 lb-ft (900Nm) with the optional performance package.

The good ol' tuning folks from Hennessey Performance have just published a new video showing a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 owned by Mario Williams of the Buffalo Bills going against a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster that belongs to a one Mario Mendias of My Fit Foods.

We are not sure if any of the two cars has been tuned by Hennessey or if they are completely stock (we are waiting for a response from the tuner) but the Lamborghini blows the Mercedes in every run.

Unlike the playful characters, Axel Foley and Billy Rosewood portrayed by Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold respectively in the 1980s blockbuster "Beverly Hills Cop" and its sequels, these real life boys in blue mean business.

The story has it that a pair of young girls was pulled over last Thursday, August 2, in Beverly Hills by LA County Sheriff’s deputies, allegedly for driving a stolen vehicle – an older generation Mercedes-Benz CLK Convertible, if our eyes don't deceive us.

A prototype model of Mercedes-Benz's upcoming SLS AMG Black Series Edition has once again been snagged on camera while hammering out a few hot laps around the 20.8 km (13 miles) long Nürburgring track in Germany. Read more »

Too Fast for his Own Good Mercedes-Benz CL Driver Smashes into Four Cars

No intelligent system in the world can help a foolish driver without a drop of common sense to avoid getting into an accident.

A too fast, too furious motorist behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz CL went on to unleash some of the many ponies hiding under the hood of the German coupe on a fairly tight city road and overtake a car in front of him.

Mercedes-Benz is completing the development of an even higher performance version of its SLS AMG 'Gullwing' Coupe, which will bear the Black Series Edition moniker.

The hardest and fastest street-legal SLS AMG of them all was recently filmed running some quick laps around the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.

For the second time this year after a bicyclist inadvertently stumbled upon an undisguised A-Class hatchback that had not yet been revealed, an upcoming Mercedes-Benz model has been caught on film by a biker named Joan Marc.

In this case, it's the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class saloon, which was nabbed on camera while entering a guarded residential area in ~~Berlin~~ Spain.

Back in the 1980s when Mercedes-Benz was the undisputed king of the hill in the premium segments, the brand with the star broke all the rules with the compact size 190E and even more so with the sports version of the series, the 190E 2.3 16v powered by a 2.3-liter four-pot developed by famed engineering firm Cosworth.

The answer from the then upcoming BMW brand came four years after the debut of the 190E 2.3 16v with the first generation of the M3 based on the E30 3-Series in 1986.

The oldest model in Mercedes-Benz's passenger lineup, the 33 year-old G-Class, is the point of focus of a new video from the brand with the star.

The clip takes us for a short ride back in history and how the G-Class came to be, while Volker Leutz, Mercedes-Benz Designer, and Michael Bock, head of Mercedes-Benz Classic, chip in and talk about the challenges that arose during the recent facelift of the SUV.
