I feel like at Mercedes-Benz, they are making it up as they go with the EQ line up. They launched the EQC a few years ago, which is essentially just another SUV, and then they realised it would make more sense to build a parallel range of cars, with one electric car for every equivalent … More The EQB is the electric B-Class we never asked for (jk, I actually like it)
The BAS could be considered the cousin of the ABS and the grandfather of modern automatic emergency braking systems. It was invented by Mercedes in 1996, after around 5 years of research and studies. In the early 1990s, Mercedes began conducting some tests and found out that in an emergency situation, drivers tend to step … More In 1996, Mercedes invented a system that automatically applied the brakes for you
The old SLS AMG was mad. It was powered by a 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, putting out 571 hp and it weighed, when all is said and done, about a million tons. In theory, the SLS would do zero-to-sixty in 3.7 seconds but the truth is you’d never get to sixty, because you’d be facing … More Driving the Mercedes AMG GT-C down a cypress-lined Tuscan road
I dislike plans because they go wrong all the time so when I go to car shows I don’t have a plan. What I do is I simply start walking and stop to look at whatever car I like the most. I inquire with the media people, ask for a test drive when available, take … More Reviewed: Inside the Maybach S-Class

Nel mondo auto, ad esempio, parlare di segmenti e tipologia di auto in gamma ormai è … More Reviewed: Mercedes-Benz CLS C257 (3° gen)
The old SLS AMG was bonkers. No other way of putting it. It had a 6,2 L naturally aspirated V8 with 571 HP and it weighed, when all is said and done, about a million tons. But that’s not it. Officially, the 0-60 time for the standard model was about 3,7 seconds but you … More Reviewed: AMG GT C – Hammer Time
Everyone around the world knows Monaco, even if they haven’t been here before. If you’re a car enthusiast, or car nut as the Americans would put it, you’ve seen this place a million times before. You’ve seen the photographs, the Instagram hashtags, the Facebook posts, the YouTube videos. The Principality of Monaco is something else, … More Flabbergasted → Top Marques 2017
By now you’ve probably heard of Cars & Coffee, if you haven’t, well, summing it all up is a pretty straightforward job. It’s about supercars. 300+ supercars, unique one-offs and some amazing classic metal (including the wonderful Alfa Romeo SZ Zagato) reached the rather spectacular Parco Giardino Sigurtà. The vibe is electric, though that’s probably … More Flabbergasted Events → C & C Brescia
In the unlikely event of your ever needing to know the average number of gear shifts for each lap, for each driver, during the Monaco GP is around 60. That’s more than 4,600 for the entire race. To any reasonable soul, this may sound like pointless trivia, it’s chit-chat, prattle, tittle-tattle. Cheap conversation you may … More SIAM 2017 Monaco
