The Mercedes SL is back with refuelled rigour and this time it is the combination of both engine and cabin tech. The 2013 model is dual turbo charged and is fast. The cabin is equipped with all the ample gadgetry like the top of the line audio system. The Comand Online system, Merc’s own signature […]
With the top up, that cover can be shifted out of the way to increase storage space, but you won’t be able to drop the top until it is replaced. Even getting into the trunk with the top down is a dramatic affair, requiring that the trunklid lift and then the folded roof and rear […]
With the side windows and windscreen up and the Air Scarf and heated seats keeping me toasty, there’s no situation short of snow or rain that could convince me not to take a moment and drop the top. Wind noise is so low that I was able to have a conversation with my passenger or […]
Under the SL’s hood hums a 4.6-liter V-8 biturbo engine that’s as much a work of art as the chassis. Direct-injection technology, a defeatable autostop feature, and an Econ shift program on the seven-speed automatic transmission help this mill to average 16 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg according […]
Around town and on the highway in its most comfortable transmission and ABC setting, the SL550 is probably best described as “effortless.” It’s got more power than it needs for sliding between stop lights, so it can keep its revs low and gearing tall without compromising responsiveness. With the minimal throttle inputs required to reach […]
Selecting the Sport shift program and the Sport ABC mode, the SL550 comes alive. Lower gears are held slightly longer and downshifts are easier to request and predict with the accelerator pedal, sacrificing a few mpgs to have all 429 thoroughbreds on tap when you need them. The chassis also felt more responsive to steering […]
The SL550 is a brilliant automobile. Sure, Comand Online is a train wreck, but it doesn’t ruin the vehicle that Mercedes’ chassis and engine engineers and designers have built around it. There’s just so much to like about being behind the wheel of a big, red Benz that I find myself over 3,000 words into […]
Hyundai Motors released the new sports car Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec this month. The car is 2013 version of sports vehicle the Korean company released last year. However, make no mistake that the new version is an alternative to mainstream sports cars like Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro like the last year’s model. This one […]
The hood of the car houses a 3.8-litre V6 direct-injection engine that unleashes 348 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, about 42 horses and 29 pound-feet torque more than the last iteration. This much power accounts for 10 pounds per horsepower, a hair above Nissan 350Z that has a power to weight ratio of 9 […]
The front gauge panel has the speedometer and RPM dials with attractive blue linings. The steering wheel has buttons for audio launch and radio tuner. The dashboard contains Air/Con vents and three dials that are new. Hyundai is so confident in their new engine that they have provided the driver with three gauges for fuel […]
Jaguar introduced the 2012 model of its muscle car XKR-S in March, 2012. The technologically advanced and theoretically equivalent to Ford’s Mustang 2011/12 model, the vehicle has received a makeover on the outside and in the inside. Under the hood lies a powerful engine that fires the power equally to all wheels. But more on […]
Bench racers keeping score are no doubt beginning to question spending $83,000 more on an XKR-S; where does the extra money go? We’ll get around to discussing the cabin in a moment, but it should be no surprise that a large chunk of that price difference goes to making the Jaguar more comfortable than most […]
