Mercedes-Benz 'Concepts'




Mercedes Lorinser Nardo3Lorinser has a surprise in store for us a the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. It seems that Mercedes’ top tuner will be showing off the new Nardo3 concept. They will also be showing off other designs – but this will be the main highlight for their booth.

Those who are familiar with racing from all around the world will notice that the Nardo3 is named after the high speed test track in Italy. With that being said you can be sure that the car has a lot to live up to – which is why it sports ta V12 twin turbo engine that can reach 660 horsepower. It will also have new integrated exhaust outlets, new front end, and a new rear bumper. We aren’t surprised to hear that there will only be 50 of these being made making them rare and quite a catch to any who can afford them.

2009 Mercedes SLKMercedes has given the 2009 SLK a makeover to remember. The new model – which has been given better mechanical features, a nicer interior, and brand new styling for the front and rear end of the vehicle – will be debuted at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show.

The 3.5-liter V6 in the SLK350 gets a boost in output to 305 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is improved with both the six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic gearboxes. The supercharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine in the SLK200 Kompressor receives a bump to 184 hp and 184 lb-ft. But the 5.5-liter V8 in the SLK55 AMG is carried over with no major changes.

Mercedes F-Cell COnceptMercedes-Benz is in the middle of creating the F-Cell concept – which will become a hydrogen fuel cell based vehicle. Mercedes has been testing this and other fuel cell cars around Europe and the United States. They have all the luxury of a Mercedes vehicle while also being environmentally friendly with absolutely zero emissions.
