Mercedes-Benz will present a new special edition of the facelifted S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet, at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. Called ‘Exclusive Edition’, both cars come with more standard equipment and a few visual tweaks, with order books opening at the beginning of April. Among the on-board features are the LED Intelligent Light System with Swarovski crystals, two color choices - Aragonite Silver and Rubellite Red - and 19-inch alloy wheels finished in Aragonie Silver or Himalaya Grey / Thulium Silver. The AMG Line can be had with 20-inch alloy rims with a black or high-sheen look, and the Cabriolet adds two soft top finishes, dark red or beige, which depend on the exterior paint of the car. The ‘Exclusive Edition’ lettering is visible inside, on the cup holder cover in the center console, along with the light brown high-gloss sen wood, Burmester premium sound system, and Exclusive Package. With the latter, customers get Designo Nappa leather upholstery in several colors, with contrast stitching and piping, sun visors in Dinamica microfiber, Mercedes-Benz illuminated door sills, and others. Additionally, there are some special floor mats included as well.
Electronic Limited Slip Differential: Adjusts the rate at which the limited slip engages, to balance between steering response and stability in different driving conditions with more aggressive performance in Sport and Track modes. The smart electronic limited-slip differential, or eLSD, is standard on the Z06 to make the most of the torque split between the rear wheels. The system features a hydraulically actuated clutch that can infinitely vary clutch engagement and can respond from open to full engagement in tenths of a second. It shifts torque based on a unique algorithm that factors in vehicle speed, steering input and throttle position to improve steering feel, handling balance and traction. The eLSD is fully integrated with Electronic Stability Control and Performance Traction Management systems. Mode 2 is engaged when electronic stability control is turned off in the Sport or Track modes. Mode 3 is automatically selected when Performance Traction Management is engaged. This calibration has the same function as Mode 2, but is fine-tuned to work with Performance Traction Management. The new Corvette Z06 will be available in early 2015. Performance data and pricing will be announced closer to the start of production.
The early arrival of Easter allows the New York International Auto Show to come a month earlier this year. The show is open for the public on Friday March 21 through Sunday March 30 from 11:00am to 10:30pm; it closes at 7:00pm on Sundays. The large projected crowd of spectators will be dazzled with glimpses of new versions of manufacturer favorites and concept vehicles; there is also a variety of games, prizes, guest appearances and automaker news! The event will be head at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on 11th Avenue between 34 and 39 Streets. The tickets will cost 14 dollars for adults, 4 dollars for kids up to twelve years and free for infants under a year old; there is also a 12-dollar group rate when 10 or more are being purchased. Some production cars on the 2008 horizon include the 2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck, 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, 2009 Honda Fit and the 2009 Nissan Maxima. Concept cars were revealed by Ford, Kia, Nissan, Scion, Suzuki and more!
Here is some information about what is on display at the Jacob Javits Center right now. The updated version of Acura’s popular sedan gets a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, improved intake and exhaust setups, a six-speed manual transmission or a Sequential SportShift five-speed automatic transmission, complete with manual mode. Along with a more safe body design, there is a myriad of new technology features and options for the lucky driver. Pontiac’s well-liked roadster is being offered as a coupe for 2009. The coupe has the same powertrain choices as the roadster, which includes the 2.4-liter Ecotec, 5-speed manual transmission mixture, and the 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec, 5-speed automatic transmission combination. The coupe also uses a variety of new materials for the external structure and has more storage space for the interior. The high-performance GXP version of the G8 sedan was unveiled by Pontiac. This sports sedan gets its power from the 2007 Corvettes 6.2-liter 402 horsepower V8 engine.
