Here’s the M&D Black Edition Stealth Mercedes CLS 500

Giancarlo Perlas February 22, 2016

Recently, M&D exclusive car design released some photos of a Mercedes-Benz CLS 500 with its latest tuning package for it. The package is composed of a body kit and a significant engine boost. According to WFC, which is also the source of the photos on top and below this article, the tuning package is called the “Black Edition Stealth”. It may be a poor choice of a name for a tuning package like what the report said because it is not actually that stealthy due to its black and white camouflage wrap coupled with striking orange accents. Nevertheless, the body work looks good on it. Aside from the wrap, the Mercedes CLS… Continue Reading »

The Wheels of This Mercedes-Benz CLS are Mean

Giancarlo Perlas November 1, 2015

The wheels of the Mercedes-Benz CLS pictured above are just so mean-looking. When I say “mean,” it doesn’t pertain to an awesome kind of way. It’s on a level equal to a classic Disney villain whom I just loved to hate when I was a kid. It is “mean” in a way that it might force you to spit out profanities. I don’t really know what was going on in the mind of the owner of this car, whether the person just wanted to gain attention, had too much money to burn with no idea how to spend it, or simply wanted to troll everyone. Speaking of a Disney villain, Auto Evolution even thinks… Continue Reading »

Miami Exotic Car Rental Company Gets First CLS63 AMG S 4Matic

Giancarlo Perlas September 2, 2015

Since its inception in 2010, Mercedes-Benz has manufactured over 120,000 CLS second-generation models. So it is quite safe to say that the four-door luxury coupe has been a successful vehicle for the brand. The face lifted, second-generation CLS63 AMG S 4Matic carries over an updated version of the handcrafted 557-hp 5.5L biturbo V-8 engine as the old model. The 2015 CLS63 AMG S 4Matic is surely a mouthful, as well as being one of the world’s most efficient eight-cylinder factory production vehicles. Our road test in Miami was slightly interrupted by the terrible 5 o’clock traffic. However, with a slight detour through local streets, we had a chance to feel… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas December 25, 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finally put a closure to an investigation it started in 2012 concerning some Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars.
