In line with the launch of its new A-Class compact vehicle model, Mercedes-Benz has launched a wide range of accessories that are perfect for both the car and the driver. These optional additions can be purchased through dealerships and sales partners.
For the car, there are a bunch of infotainment extras that can help the owner maximize the driving experience on his A-Class car. There’s a Bluetooth-equipped telephone module, which helps guarantee a reliable Internet connection for the car’s COMAND Online system and for making calls and for using Mercedes-Benz apps. There’s also the Drive Kit Plus for the iPhone, which gives the driver access to the automaker’s app called Digital Drive Style. This app offers a bunch of features such as Garmin-powered advanced navigation, POI search functionality, and access to other stuff like Twitter and Facebook.
Drivers also get a piece of the action, with trendy and stylish products fit for the vehicle’s "young and young-at-heart" patrons. You can get a trilby hat, polo shirts for men, smartphone sleeves, shoulder bags, clutch bags, charm bracelets, and a keyring that’s a 1:18-scale model of the actual A-Class wheel!
Of course, there are also options for the vehicle’s exterior, all featured in the Mercedes Sport range. You get front apron spoiler lips, light alloy wheels, and other exterior tweaks to suit your desired style.
Gary Paffett and Jamie Green managed to get back on the podium with strong performances at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in Germany, placing second and third respectively to take their places in the podium.
Meanwhile, BMW’s Bruno Spengler eked out his third victory of the season. While Paffett’s second-place finish is enough to stave off Spengler’s pursuit of the top spot in the drivers’ standings, he only leads by 11 points now. Paffett has 127 points to Spengler’s 116 with two races left in the season. Jamie Green is also a close third at 106 points.
For the constructors’ title race, Mercedes-Benz is still comfortably ahead at 295 points to Audi’s 266 and BMW’s 247, and the Mercedes HWA Team is still leading BMW Team Schnitzer, 151 to 133. Still, it really does show how important the final two races at Valencia (Sept. 30) and the Hockenheimring (Oct. 21) are.
On a related note, another Mercedes-Benz driver managed to set a new track record for the fastest lap. Roberto Merhi of Persson Motorsport clocked 1:22.575 on his DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupe in Lap 40 to get the new record.
