Mercedes-Benz European Delivery

This is Bertha! She is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 that I picked up in Germany and took on an epic European Road Trip! She will be for sale when she arrives back in the US and is looking for a good home. Let me tell you about her.

S550 Diamond White

She has the speed! With 449 horsepower and 519 lb/ft of torque you will love the power! I even took her by the AMG factory in case there was any extra horsepower in the air.

S550 Lighting Package

She is very maneuverable. With the help of the Surround View Cameras I was able to park her in some interesting places to get good pictures. Look at those LED headlamps sparkle!

S550 European Delivery

Bertha has visited many Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Europe and made quite an impression! I was inside this little dealership looking at the A-Class and when I came outside their employees were all looking at her!

Mercedes Stelvio Pass

She can handle anything! She conquered those mountains easily. Great suspension, electromechanical steering and comfortable seats make it a breeze!

Stelvio Pass Mercedes

She has seen more snow than 90% of the cars in Georgia and never flinched! Her 4matic system is top notch!

Mercedes Munich

She looks right at home in front of the Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich. This is a car meant for a palace. The 20″ multi-spoke wheels are like a crown on the ground!

S550 European Delivery

Even cats love her!

Distronic

The Silk Beige interior is very photogenic but it is the Distronic Plus with Steering Assist that really impresses! At under 30 mph you don’t even have to have a hand on the wheel as she tracks the car in front of you!

Perhaps she is a bit of a Big Bertha for European parking garages but I am sure there is more room at your house.

Diamond White S550

Bertha looksher best in flowered courtyards.The Diamond White paint reallyglows in the sunshine!

S550 Mercedes Diamond White

She was a champion on mountain roads, coastal cruises and simply parking at a scenic overlook. She will arrive in the US in 6-8 weeks with 2400 miles and a photo album that no other 2015 S550 can claim! I would keep her if I couldbut since I can’t it is my mission to find her a good home! Get in touch if Bertha is your next Mercedes-Benz!

You are now getting my Euro Delivery Experience all out of order! This was day 3. We drove from Switzerland to northern Italy to experience the Stelvio Pass! This road is world famous for the twists and turns through the Alps. As you’ll see it is full of motorcycles, bicycles, cars and the occasional tractor. This is a 6 minute video but we really did this type of driving for 3 hours! It was shockingly well mapped by the navigation system. Worth the detour if you find yourself in the area. Just follow the herds of bikes!

S550 euro delivery

Sorry to go dark on you for two weeks but I was up to something very exciting! I was able to travel to Germany and pick up a 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 through the European Delivery Program and then go on an amazing road trip through Europe! I was gone for 2 weeks and I will now fill you in on my adventure!

Day 1:

I flew into Stuttgart, Germany and took a taxi to the Delivery Center in Sindelfingen. Took the factory tour, had lunch, and took delivery of a gorgeous 2015 S550 named Bertha. (This is not my personal car. She will arrive at the dealership in 6-8 weeks and be for sale as a demo.)

The Delivery Center is where people from all over the world come to pick up their vehicles. I heard this 6X6 was headed to Australia!

It was a busy afternoon and we still had to get to our AMG factory tour…

What is an AMG GT?  阅读原文»

Mercedes-Benz and AMG have had a long and wonderful relationship redesigning production vehicles into performance vehicles. With the SLS AMG they broke the pattern and let AMG build the vehicle from scratch. The AMG GT is the next vehicle in that mold! Everything is just a rumor at this point but expect to see the production specifications soon!

Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes – Starring the SL500!

Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes � Starring the SL500!  阅读原文»

Stephen King Mercedes book

Any press is good press, right? The murder weapon in Stephen Kings’ new book is a Mercedes-Benz SL500. That would be bad for the company image…except he does have some good things to say about the car!

From StephenKing.com:

“The front end of the SL500 was only slightly crumpled―that famous German engineering―but the hood and the windshield were spattered with gore.”

“"How hard would it be for someone to slim-jim a window?" Hodges had asked the mechanic. "Pop the lock that way?" "All but impossible," the mechanic had said. "These Mercs are built. If someone did manage to do it, it would leave signs."”

“The third button was labeled PANIC. Presumably if a mugger attacked you as you were unlocking your car, you could push that one and the car would start screaming for help.”

“"I've worked at Ross since 1987. Must have seen a thousand Mercs go out the door since then, and I can tell you they all go out with two keys."”

A couple of reviews have included a tidbit about the car that is obviously wrong:

“The following morning, during an “anti-dawn, damp and cold as the cheek of a day-old corpse,” a gray Mercedes-Benz SL500 “not just emerging from the fog but seeming to create itself from it” aims for the huddled masses, 12 cylinders screaming.”

Let’s hope that is just from the reviews and not from the book itself!

Mercedes X6

This vehicle hit the Future Vehicles section at MBUSA.com recently:

  • 333-hp, V6 gasoline Engine
  • 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive
  • 9G-TRONIC PLUS nine-speed automatic transmission with torque converter lock-up, twin-turbine damper with centrifugal pendulum and DIRECT SELECT gearshift
  • Dynamic Select Control with four different transmission modes
  • “Alu Beam” paint finish, reminiscent of the groundbreaking Silver Arrows of the 1930s and 1950s
  • Frameless side windows
  • Integrated, illuminated side sills
  • BAS PLUS and PRE-SAFE Brake
  • 22-inch wheels

Some or all of this could make it into production next year. What do you think? I’m almost sure this is an answer to a question no one is asking but maybe I am mistaken! It looks great from this angle:

If you have not seen any photos from the Mille Miglia that took place earlier this month you really must have a look! Stunning cars and stunning scenery!

From the Mercedes-Benz Facebook Page:

Why race in the Mille Miglia Historica? For one thing, because of our record-breaking win at the original race back in 1955; for another, just look at these photos! A rolling display of some of history's greatest Mercedes-Benz vehicles, stunning scenery and a helping of la dolce vita: that's what keeps us coming back for more. Here's just a small sample of the 1000-mile route.

Drive Kit Plus for iPhone 5 5C and 5S for Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class  阅读原文»

The Drive Kit Plus is available as a dealer installed option for many Mercedes-Benz models. This accessory allows you to control many of your iPhone features from the vehicle controls.

Mercedes-Benz has just announced that the new Drive Kit Plus for the iPhone 5 is now available as a VPC installed option for the CLA-Class for $700! This will save you labor charges at the dealership and make sure it is ready to go when the car arrives.

Also, VPC installed options can be added to the vehicle after it has already been built, but before it gets to the port. So, if you have a CLA-Class on the way and decide the Drive Kit Plus would be a good option for you, your dealer should be able to add it on!

E63 AMG S-model

I don’t think I have ever read such a positive review! As far as I know there is only ONE E63 AMG S-Model Wagon in Atlanta. You could join a very exclusive club!

Full AutoWeek Review Notes

“This 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model 4Matic Wagon is the rare six-figure car that in my opinion is worth the money. Rare? In fact, at the moment, I can’t think of another one.”

“I’ve driven far more expensive cars that didn’t offer the E63 AMG wagon’s level of visceral engagement.”

“The E63 AMG wagon is an exclusive, attractive, high-performance family machine that looks insanely badass and delivers on every front.”

“But its torque, power, traction and utility make the E63 one of the baddest creations available to well-heeled enthusiasts. Its existence alone makes me wish I fit that description.”

“But this, this glorious, coddling, cosseting, bahn-burning, screaming machine. Every moment with this Benz only reminds you how lucky you are. And that feeling counts for a lot.”

“It’s sinister looking and will make you chuckle when you push the engine start button and the engine barks to life with a thunderous exhaust note. Give the right pedal a couple of jabs and the chuckles become laughs. The first expressway acceleration run with the throttle pinned brings more laughs along with amazement about what the car can do and that a company would actually build something like this.”
