The luxury roadster has now begun its winter test programme after coming to grips with heat testing. The new SLS will sport engines such as the 5.5-litre V8 with 285kW (387hp) and possibly the rumoured 400kW (544hp)-plus 4.0-litre twin turbo. These should be mated to a 7-speed automatic as standard. We might even see a hybrid powertrain adapted from the Mercedes S400 Hybrid. Sales will begin sometime in 2012.
PT Mercedes-Benz Indonesia (MBI) plan to release the hibrid car Mercedez Benz S400 to Indonesia. S400 is the luxurious sedan from Mercy that combine gasoline S3.5 L engine V6 with 275 hp and electric motor 15kW. To transfer power to the wheel, mercy use 7 transmission.
Based on testing by MB, gasoline consumption of S400 is 12,6 km per liter and CO2 emission is only 190 g per km. Its a friendly car to the environment.

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan is a four-door, five-seat vehicle that comes in either Sport or Luxury trims. The new sheetmetal that adorns the E-Class is still recognizable as a Mercedes, but the latest mid-size sedan has clearly evolved from the previous generation. Car and Driver reports that for 2010, the E-Class lineup is "thoroughly redone," with styling changes that include "four parallelogram-shaped lamps that look unique but still make sense on an E-Class." Motor Trend isn't quite as impressed, asserting that the E-Class 2010's "design sits somewhere between crisp and boxy, with a bluff front end desperate (almost too desperate) to imply status." Cars.com thinks some elements are at odds, noting the "eyebrow-like fog lights sit in the three-piece lower air dam," while, "in comparison, the taillights seem much more reserved." Overall, however, reviewers are impressed by the Mercedes E-Class' new styling elements, and Car and Driver says "the roundness of the rear fender flare and the horizontal line that sits above work far better in person than in a two-dimensional photograph." Consumers likely won't be turned off by the new design, which Automobile Magazine contends "comes off as genuinely German in a way no other brand can quite capture."
The SLK300 is the entry-level offering with a 228-hp V6 mated to a six-speed manual or optional seven-speed automatic. An even sportier SLK350 boasts a 300-hp V6 teamed with a seven-speed automatic. The most powerful car in this class is the SLK55 AMG, sporting a 355-hp V8 and a standard seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Safety features on all SLK models include six airbags (front, side and knee), stability control, traction control, ABS with Brake Assist and Tele Aid emergency communication system.
got it at Off Lease Only with 19k miles and let me tell you. I have owned Cobra's and Vette's and Rx-8 and I have to say this ride is sweet!!!! Yes the others have bigger Engines cheaper in price etc etc but come on the Warrantee is untill 50k miles or 7-2010 I couldnt go wrong. Storage is no problem it's a 2 seater I have an Explorer for hauling and an Acura RL for a sedan. This is my FUN car and it meats and excedes my expectations.
This was just about the nicest looking car I have ever owned. It was also the most unreliable car I have owned to the point that I only drove it near my home in the case that it broke down. God knows that it broke down often. Frequently I kept the car in my garage and did not bother to take it to be repaired. The problems started just a few days after the car was purchased. It was mostly in the shop the first few months I owned the car. I was very happy when I got rid of it and took a huge financial loss. My experience with this car is from two years ago. The newer models may be more reliable
