Mercedes's former design chief revealed a previously unseen concept that reimagines the 1971 300 SEL 6.8 AMG as a retro-futuristic showcar.

A leaked photo of the upcoming 2027 Mercedes S-Class hints at a facelifted design with star-pattern DRLs and a black-framed grille inspired by the E-Class, likely AMG-Line styling, and rumors of a new flat-plane V8 plus enhanced autonomous driving tech ahead of the official reveal.
Mercedes-Benz has begun cold-weather testing on the next Mythos model, based on a high-performance CLE and rumored to use a potent V-8, signaling another ultra-exclusive, expensive entry in the Mythos line.
The 2023 Lotus Emira I4, equipped with an AMG-sourced 2.0-liter inline four engine, offers a unique driving experience that combines British poise with German power. While the transition to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox may disappoint purists, the Emira aims to cater to a wider market by offering improved comfort and practicality. With 360 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, the Emira I4 delivers impressive performance, reaching 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The car's balance, poise, and exceptional steering make it a joy to drive, although some issues with the gearbox's responsiveness have been noted. Despite its strengths, the Emira I4's starting price of $99,900 may face tough competition from rivals like the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0.
Mercedes-Benz is set to debut the sixth-generation E-Class sedan, codenamed W214, today via a livestream. The interior has already been largely revealed and is heavily derived from the electric EQE. The new E-Class sedan is expected to be a bit longer for greater interior room and a bit sleeker for better fuel economy. The biggest question among enthusiasts is whether it'll retain the V8 engine. The coupe and convertible are being retired, along with the smaller two-door C-Class models, and will be replaced with a CLE Coupe and CLE Convertible, complete with spicy AMG derivatives.
