Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell

A super car that strikes a perfect balance between a luxurious ride, and a sports car. That very well describes the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell. Built for the rich, the car has a zero-emission high-tech drive-train. The SLS AMG E-Cell can produce an astounding power output of 526 horsepower and deliver an amazing 860 Newton meter of torque. The high-voltage gull wing model is powered by a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery with a modular design. One who slips behind the steering wheel of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell will find the effortless driving experience exhilarating. Company insiders have expressed that their goal is to keep reducing the fuel consumption and emissions of models that will be churned out in the coming years. For now, the SLS AMG E-Cell is one riveting package. Everything from the LED headlamps to the opulent interior appointments and outrageously aggressive performance, plus the eco-friendly advantage, make the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell a must-have car.

Unless you have a BMW M5, barely anybody's going to take a bigger vehicle like this to an autocross. The result is a functional vehicle that is amazingly agreeable yet still basically responsive for spelunking into city movement. Perhaps in the event that I'd entered it in an autocross, I'd perceive diverse taking care of qualities displayed just at the farthest point like, possibly, understeer. At the same time I didn't. On vacant expressway trades taken much quicker than those yellow suggested pace signs propose, it hung on easily. From a halt, it got to 60 mph in only 5.0 seconds, an assume that would doubtlessly have dropped considerably a second on the off chance that I could have exchanged off the footing control. As it might have been, TC and DTSC disposed of any profit that may have originated from brake-torquing off the line, leaving an a large portion of second of dispatch time at the beginning line. Step on the gas and it kind of sits there as five tenths tick on by. At that point off it goes, the shifter in Sport and the six-velocities clicking off as you vroom away. After the suspension redesigns, the following best thing I preferred was the R-Design seats. They get a handle on your gizzard like a truant partner and don't let go until you're prepared to leave, which may be a while. Whatever remains of the inner part was completely useful and not in the least hard to live in. 15k more than it really fetched. 44,165. You could get a Chevy SS for that. 10k all the more; however everyone has those. You're not going to see R-Designs doing a reversal and forward on your road.

FRANKFURT, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Daimler and BMW deepened their alliance on Thursday to share spiraling development costs for highly automated driving technologies, even as each carmaker pursues separate efforts to develop fully self-driving cars. The enormous cost of designing and building computer-powered vehicles has already prompted Honda to pool its efforts with General Motors, while Volkswagen is pursuing talks with Ford about an alliance on autonomous cars. BMW and Daimler deepened their alliance for similar reasons, said Michael Hafner, head of automated driving at Mercedes-Benz research and development said in a blog post which accompanied a joint press release by the companies on Thursday. 鈥淲e have learned that the development of these systems is a bit like climbing a mountain,鈥?he said. 鈥淭aking the first few meters from the base station to the summit seems easy. It made sense to distribute the technological and financial challenges of automated driving, Hafner said, so BMW and Daimler will jointly develop technology to enable automated driving on highways.

鈥淚nitially, the focus will be on advancing the development of next-generation technologies for driver assistance systems, automated driving on highways and parking features,鈥?the companies said in the statement. BMW and Daimler鈥榮 move comes as even deep pocketed technology companies struggle to gain traction in autonomous driving. Apple Inc said on Wednesday it planned to lay off 190 employees in its self-driving car program, Project Titan. 3 billion in 2015, according to Goldman Sachs. BMW and Daimler already cooperate in high-definition mapping with HERE and in the area of procurement, and earlier this month unveiled a joint ride-hailing, parking and electric car charging business. They said on Thursday their new partnership will center on so-called level 3 and level 4 automated driving technologies, including cars that still require steering wheels and drivers. Daimler will pursue a separate development alliance for level 5 robotaxis between its luxury brand Mercedes-Benz and supplier Robert Bosch. Level 5 cars require no driver.
