The wheels are three-part, concave alloys measuring 9 and 10×20 inch wide. On top of this, FAB Design fit a compatible sports suspension set, their own brand of stainless steel sports exhaust with two oval endpipes and an integrated valve control to give the driver a choice of two settings.

It is very close to the incredible Detroit International Salon of 2012 arrives in the United States by resurrecting the market. Many are counting the few days remaining for us to attend this event which will have many surprises, including the presentation of the new Mercedes Benz SL.

Many have high hopes for the return of the Big Three: Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, awaiting the attendance of more than 750 000 people (20 thousand more than the edition of 2011).

At the Detroit Motor Show will see over 40 new features of the leading manufacturers worldwide in the automotive world will be responsible for allowing the U.S. market resurgence after several years of being in the dark.

With market growth will be achieved important benefits and a job very beneficial in times of crisis. This time the event will take place in an area of ​​2,300 square meters more than last year with the presence of the three largest market.

Consider that in 2011 for the first time since 1988 the three major Detroit managed to increase market share within the United States reaching 47.2 percent of all sales, making it the second largest market for automotive world, relegated enough time in the emerging industry of China.

According to experts in the field is expected that during 2012 this trend will continue to rise, finally emerging from a crisis that led to that from 2009 to 2010, lived the worst years of the automotive sector is particularly vulnerable in the world economy.

Estreia em sua da depois Detroit, na chegarão to Portugal next Spring as duas novas variants do Classe E, equipped with hybrid motorização: E 300 and E 400 BlueTECH HYBRID HYBRID

A Detroit Mercedes Estreia fez em duas global or hybrid variants for Class E, uma Outra gasoline and oil fired. Mercedes E 300 BlueTECH HYBRID and Mercedes E 400 HYBRID partilham or more like this hybrid module, um compost electric motor by 27 hp and 210 Nm iões Lithium battery of 19 kW and 0.8 kWh start / stop, and regenerative travagem .

Em You both cases, this module be used to prune noutros tambem models enables circular em tied 100% electric mode years 22 km / h, and detach or motor cruzeiro em tied SPEED years of 160 km / h.

These novae variants that country Nosso chegarão ao na uma next Spring Redução promise me we emissões consumption and CO2, which, if not do E 300 BlueTEC (disponível saloon and Carrinho verses nas), 15% face chegam years ao E 250 CDI.

Board-O hybrid module is Neste case ao turbodiesel 2.2 liter of 204 hp and 500 Nm and combined consumption um announces 4.2 l/100 km, com 109 g / km of CO2 emissões. as prestações? Us 7.5 seconds 0-100 km / h, 240 km / h maximum SPEED. By admin turn, or E 400 3.5-mounted V6 engine or gasoline direct injecção, com 306 hp and 370 Nm, 8.7 l/100 km em announcing misto cycle, 7.0 seconds we 0-100 km / h, 210 km / h maximum SPEED.

The third generation of the M-Class Mercedes -Benz stands out for its low fuel consumption and emissions and it is possible to order the dealer network for the brand. The first units will arrive in November 2011.

The models of the new range on average require 25% less fuel than their predecessors. It should be noted the ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC, with a combined consumption of only 6.0 l/100 km (158 g CO2/km, for both registration tax of 4.75 % ), which provides a range of up to 1,500 miles to the content of the deposit. On the other hand, increasing the efficiency of the new M-Class does not entail the loss of your driving pleasure and increased comfort. The ML has 4MATIC permanent traction, improved chassis, and innovative control systems that enhance stability on-road properties and cross country.

The low fuel consumption is also due to a broad package of BlueEFFICIENCY measures. Among them, the start-stop function built-in series, the new seven-speed automatic transmission 7G TRONIC PLUS a new torque converter efficiency. They also help maintain consumption reduced spreads reduced friction in the axles, the electromechanical steering and tires with lower rolling resistance. The engineers responsible for the development of the new M-Class have been reduced despite the increased weight of equipment, and use lightweight aluminum alloy and resistant to the arms of the front axle and rear axle, hood and fins. The instrument panel cross member is magnesium.

In the M -Class models with mechanical suspension for the first time incorporates a chassis with selective damping system. During normal traffic on roads with a moderate profile, or driving at low speed off-road, the system responds softly, which promotes the well being of the occupants as the ability to off-road. If the driver cultivates a more sporty driving style, or if you have to make abrupt lane change, shocks take a harder adjustment for improved stability. The driver of the Class M has the aid of an electromechanical steering assistance provided ideal in every situation. When parking or maneuvering it has the maximum steering assistance. The SUV is further distinguished by the smallest turning circle in its segment. The M-Class can change direction without maneuver in the streets of 11.80 meters in width. A high-speed servo assistance is reduced to improve stability.

Mercedes is preparing a class rival for the Audi TT Roadster and even the Mazda MX5. Mercedes is the SLA, a standard two-seater with hood that could reach the street in 2013 with a starting price of close to 60,000 euros.
The initial basis of the prototype, when it was unveiled at the Detroit in 2000, was the Mercedes Class A, but may finally have the platform of the new Class B, so that the SLA could be the first Mercedes roadster FWD. The Vision SLA concept was that of a small roadster with the primary aim of conveying the same driving pleasure of a SL, but in a smaller segment. The proximity of the Class A was evident in the compact dimensions, with a length of 3.77 meters outside, six inches shorter than the SLK, and no less than 73 centimeters shorter than the SL. The main features of its design and compact roadster is accentuated with a sharply sloping windshield, large doors and a slightly tilted back style reminiscent of the legendary Mercedes Silver Arrows.

The range of engines that could be the protagonist of SLA range include a 1.6-liter direct-injection turbo four-cylinder automatic transmission mated to the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a six-speed manual. So much for the gasoline engine because the diesel side speaks of a new 1.8 -liter four- cylinder turbo diesel. But in his day had the Mercedes 1.9-liter engine of 125 hp and maximum torque of 180 Nm at 4000 rpm can generate a 0-100 km / h in 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 209 km / h. A more than respectable performance for a two-seat pocket that must have weighed 950 kg. The lightness of the body responds to advanced engineering solutions that the engineers had made an innovative hybrid structure composed of aluminum and plastic panels and high quality.
