Volker Morphine – the head honcho for AMG – understands that building supercars without contemplating their worth in the ever decreasing economy would be a foolish thing to do. To many consumers are worried about the fuel emissions and the poor stance of the economy. Because of this they are forced to re-think a few details and to contemplate bringing in the heavy artillery.
Hybrids and diesels are becoming quite attractive to many consumers and AMG has taken notice of this. A more recent interview with CAR revealed the idea of equipping a twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter oil burning V6 engine into the C-Class. Mornhunweg hinted that AMG might push one of these type of cars into production.
We have no doubt that the Paris Motor show – set to begin next month – will be a very eventful place. The press will be thronging to catch glimpses and information on the newest cars that have been talked about for months and concepts that have yet to be revealed. One of the concepts that we are most looking forward to seeing is the Mercedes-Benz ConceptFascination.
The concept deserves this very unique and flamboyant name and we have no doubt that you will feel the same way when you have caught a glimpse of the video that shows it off. This video is great for those of you who can’t make it to the show.
Mercedes-Benz has produced many trucks and SUV’s. The next on their line-up is the GLK – which is not your average looking truck. Most trucks have a hard edge and a very aggressive look about them. However, the GLK has more of a softer edge to it.
We have no qualms with the look that the GLK has been given – but it wouldn’t hurt to add just a bit of an edge to it. I suppose that Mercedes thought this same thing because they will be bringing several aftermarket tuners to SEMA to place their expertise on the GLK and give it what it is missing.
