A prototype of the most interesting and futuristic has been presented by Mercedes-Benz on the stand that he played in Detroit. A peculiar vehicle of organic forms, depending on the brand ‘inspired by nature, aviation, bionics and fluids. ” And to finish off the mix, all with an elegant minimalist style.
We are referring to the Mercedes-Benz Aesthetics No. 2. This is the only complete novelty that the German company has presented at the event. We mean, is the only brand new product that has been released. In two different ways could be interpreted this concept car.
On the one hand, it could be the bold proposal to rattle the United States, where its sales in 2010 rose to a considerable 18% and this would give the agency to develop prototypes away from any model designed to be manufactured in series. But we could also interpret it as a severe shortage of new jumping, coming to Detroit almost empty-handed, and have had no choice but to submit to much fanfare a device more like a piece of furniture than a car.
Anyway, everybody knows that it has obtained an authentic piece of modern art, inviting all to join this vehicle, which would not only mobility but also terrestrial air. From the exterior to what might be called ‘interior’, ergonomics and harmonious forms are present in every corner.
We said that the Mercedes-Benz Aesthetics No. 2 was the only “complete novelty” of the mark in the Hall of Detroit, and not lie. But within the inevitable re-upgrades or new versions of existing cars, shines the electric version SLS AMG Mercedes, AMG Mercedes SLS called E-Cell.
In the words of the president of Mercedes, Dieter Zetsche, this car with 526 horsepower generated entirely electrically, will be available from 2012, presumably in a fairly limited, considering that even the SLS “normal “can be considered a massive car. Two Mercedes-Benz bets for the future. Which of the two convinces more?
Cockpit
The driving position is not very suitable for tall people because the ceiling is rather close. Space width and legroom is more than enough. That problem would be avoided if the seats could go closer to the ground. On board the SLS is not going so close to the ground and in some coupes, if the legs are born with a significant bending rather than almost completely straight.
Standard seating me look very good. They have a hard foam padding. Some drivers may prefer soft seats, but I think it is appropriate for a car of this type, in which the driver must be moved slightly to guide the car precisely. And electrical regulations have side protrusions in the lumbar area that can be opened or closed to accommodate people wide and narrow. In option can have a seat type “bucket” that the only control they have is their distance from the pedals.
The model nose is so long and the seats are so retarded (almost above the rear axle), which is very difficult to get an idea of where the body begins. Their shape also causes traffic problems in narrow junctions, where you have to put more than half a car into them to see the oncoming traffic perpendicular.
Access to the cabin is a bit complicated. The difficulties begin just press the release button on the remote control as the outside door handle is located at the bottom of the door and you have to bend down to handling.
GLK range is enriched with a new version cheaper.
143 hp with less fuel consumption and emissions
The new version assayed the cost of access to the range. Following the pattern of the GLK 220 BE, the BE GLK 200 maintains the same technology, strength and change, that’s only rear wheel drive and 6-speed manual gearbox. Obviously technology keeps BlueEmotion order to improve the level of consumption and emissions. Read the rest of this entry »
