Mercedes AMG, Ferrari and Audi Celebrated the Facebook Fans

Facebook is the new environment to experience your favourite car brand. From Hyundai to Ferrari, nearly all car companies are available on Facebook. Even if you cannot afford to buy one, there is not restriction to like! Many people benefit from this de-restricted world of Facebook and became a fan of their favourite car brand. And the number of fans on Facebook are the solid proofs; Ferrari has 8 million, Mercedes-Benz AMG has 2 million, Audi US has 5 million. These numbers are more than many countries’ whole population. 

As the numbers are so huge, the car companies decided to celebrate this in a usual way! Burning rubber! Ferrari, AMG and Audi celebrated their Facebook success by burning tyres and making smoke. Honestly, all these footages are record very professionally and nice to watch but celebrating an achievement in a new technology by burning rubber does not sound that innovative :)

Monster is back: Mercedes SL 65 AMG

And it is back. Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG! Honestly, I am not fan of this meaninglessly powerful engine.  Because, it is so powerful and makes so hard to control the car. The previous engine was 612 PS with 1000 nm of torque, this one has more power! 630 PS with two turbos and the same torque level. This torque level is very very high and that's main problem why all 65 family flashes the traction control all the time. Rear wheels cannot cope with this enormous power. Despite this monster engine, the new SL65 AMG achieves to reach 100 kph (62 mph) in 4,0 seconds. In my opinion this engine has to be used only with four-wheel drive, otherwise it is wasting power!

Hopefully, Mercedes got rid of the five-speed auto gearbox and paired this monster with 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox, however it is not double clutch. The main problem is the enormous amount of torque makes gearbox heavy and expensive, therefore Mercedes stick with the traditional automatic gearbox.

Mercedes also produced the boot lid from carbon fibre to save weight, five kg. In overall, this models is not 1950 kg and 170 kg lighter than previous model. But the top speed is still limited to 250 kph.

I still find no point to buy this car, it is better to stick with SL 63 AMG!

Backstage of Ferrari F12berlintta's Footage

If you are wondering how the latest footage of Ferrari F12berlinetta was taken, here is the answer from Ferrari. Hopefully, automotive companies realised importance of backstage footages! This has been done by fashion brands for ages and catches lots of interest.

During the shootings of the F12berlinetta, they have used my favourite SUV Mercedes-Benz ML63AMG as pursuit camera car and also a helicopter and also high-speed cameras and also 35mm movie cameras. This short footage we watched on YouTube was not prepared by a team of amateurs!

And if you are planning to hire this pursuit camera car here is the link! http://pursuitsystems.com/

A New Package from AMG

For very long time, AMG was two things for a Mercedes-Benz vehicle; AMG Body Kit and AMG Models. First thing is just a cosmetic amend of the exterior design with louder exhaust and the second thing is the extreme expensive cars. As you can see that there is a gap here, many people want to experience the AMG without paying lots of money or just contented with cosmetic make-up. 

Hopefully, Mercedes-Benz realised this gap after some time and decided to release a new package for C Coupe. It is called AMG Plus Sport Package. This package is engineered by AMG, from steering wheel to gearbox everything is at the AMG level. This new package offers double declutch function for the gearbox, it is totally reprogrammed.

And all these can be your with C250 / 250 CDi models, you don't have to pay a lot of money! I am sure that, this package will be available with other models as well.
