Sam Frost Leads The Pack At Swarovski's Official Fashion Week Bash

The stars stepped out for Swarovski's official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week party on Friday night. Home And Away actress Sam Frost, 30, led the pack in a slinky white polka dot dress that highlighted her slender frame. The former Bachelorette wore her blonde locks out in soft, bouncy waves, and kept her makeup natural and fresh. Instead of flying solo, the Home and Away star was joined by her longtime boyfriend Dave Bash. Good mental health is my definition of success. She can deny it until the day she dies! Share Posting about the event on Instagram, Sam wrote: 'How did I get so lucky? Sam wasn't the only Bachelor star in attendance, with season six runner-up Sophie Tieman also showing her face. The 27-year-old flaunted her trim figure in a skintight cocktail frock with one sleeve. Instead of her usual long blonde hair, Sophie sported a sophisticated bob cut. The most unique outfit of the night went to Love Island Australia winner Tayla Damir, who caught the eye in a sixties-inspired blazer and matching trousers. The 22-year-old accessorised with a white handbag and black high heels. At one point, she was spotted mingling with former Bachelor star Noni Janur. Other celebrities that attended included Phoebe Burgess and Instagram model Sammy Robinson.

In conjunction with the new, agile high-torque engines, the new transmission with its wide ratio spread allows a very relaxed style of driving. The generally low engine sped level and the numerous technical innovations considerably reduce both exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. Depending on the output variant, the NEDC fuel consumption is between 0.5 and 1.0 litres per 100 km lower than that of the preceding models. The difference is even greater in the case of the V6 CDI: depending on the configuration, a lower NEDC consumption by up to 1.5 litres per 100 km is achievable. This fuel saving spells striking financial advantages for high-mileage operators: for an annual mileage of 50,000 km, and depending on the model, the new-generation Sprinter saves between around 250 and 750 litres of fuel per year. At 150,000 km this advantage triples to around 750 to 2250 litres. For buyers of the new Sprinter this translates into a direct financial benefit amounting to three or four figures in Euro per year. At the same time the lower consumption conserves resources and considerably reduces pollutant emissions.

In tandem with this, the Sprinter is now even more dynamic, as the combination of new, more powerful engines and the new transmissions produces faster acceleration. Even more significantly, the flexibility so important in practical operations has improved greatly. The power of the Sprinter also provides the ideal preconditions for trailer operation. As a result the permissible trailer load of the 3.5-tonne Sprinter has been increased to the same figure, 3.5 tonnes. This produces a remarkable permissible gross combination weight of up to precisely seven tonnes. The increased trailer load is available for all Sprinter panel vans, chassis with cab and crewcab models from the 316 CDI upwards, but not for variants with a short wheelbase. During the course of the development work, Mercedes-Benz also further improved the acknowledged, exemplary safety level of the Sprinter. These improvements can be summed as: ESP trailer stabilisation, adaptive brake light, heated wide-angle mirror, lower position of the front foglamps and automatic transmission with Start-Off Assist. If a customer orders the trailer coupling or preparation for a trailer coupling ex factory, ESP trailer stabilisation is included as standard.

This additional function of the standard Electronic Stability Program ESP is already used in the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Viano. ESP trailer stabilisation uses the yaw rate sensor of ESP to recognise sinusoidal oscillations around the vertical axis of the vehicle, and initiates counteraction with active braking intervention. There are no additional sensors on the trailer or trailer coupling. Once the trailer begins to snake, ESP trailer stabilisation brakes the front wheels and reduces the engine torque. If several interventions are necessary at short intervals, the braking action is heavier and the speed is reduced more severely. This unmistakably makes the driver aware of the snaking trailer, and that he is driving at critical speeds too frequently. The ESP warning lamp in the dashboard informs the driver that intervention is taking place. Thanks to its great sensitivity, ESP trailer stabilisation already starts to counteract critical sinusoidal oscillations at the onset - a significant improvement in safety and comfort. ESP trailer stabilisation already recognises the trailer when the electrical socket is connected.
