Mercedes-Benz Introduces two A-Class BlueEfficiency Variants  阅读原文»

Mercedes A180 BlueEfficiency (petrol) and A180 CDI (diesel) are the two variants added to the A-Class line-up. These two models are the precise opposites of the Mercedes AMG versions.

Mercedes-Benz has launched two BlueEfficiency variants with the diesel as the most fuel efficient that the German luxurious car company has ever made and that is the A180 CDI.

The A180 CDI (diesel) brags its 1.5 �litre and 4-cylinder diesel engine that puts out 109 bhp/260 Nm. It declares a fuel frugality of 33.16 kmpl and 92g/km CO2 emissions.

The petrol version Mercedes A180 uses 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that gives fuel efficiency of 22.95 kmpl and 120g/km CO2 emissions.

The improvement on the fuel efficiency of the BlueEfficiency models compared to the regular variants having the same engines is about 5%. Certain changes have been made to these two variants. Both have a reprogrammed ECU, modified generator management system, improved underbody airflow and reduced aero drag because of the fractional covering made on the radiator grille.

Kleeman Restores SLS AMG To King Of The Hill Status  阅读原文»

Now that Mercedes has released S-Model variants for the E- and S-Class, the SLS AMG has, for now, been left stranded in terms of horsepower bragging rights. As we all know, power isn't everything when it comes to evaluating sports car performance, but…

To the rescue comes Kleeman, a tuner who has developed a supercharger kit for the SLS AMG. Installing this supercharger kit will give an SLS AMG 762 horsepower, which puts an SLS back on top as king of the hill. Of course, with the precise metering the M159 engine requires, one can't just remove the turbos, slap on the supercharger and be done with it.

Apart from the supercharger, Kleeman will replace the exhaust system, adding stainless steel cats, an X-pipe and a valve controlled rear silencer. Needless to say, some ECU recalibration is in order but at the end of the day, you will have your 760 horsepower SLS. Which should be enough to keep all but the most insane builds at bay.
