• Another work on the Mercedes-Benz AMG C63: C74 Renntech Konzept

  Yesterday we brought you here Concept AMG 358, which had led to the Hall of Sydney, on a C63. Here is the latest embodiment of Renntech, also made on the same model, but now, with more latent aesthetic impact and what first meets the eye.

  If not for the exorbitant his lower lip front bumper, maybe I could be bstante “decent”, or it may be black in that it is decorated, it overly emphasizes the car’s overall silver. The tires, though generously sized (19 “front and 20″ rear), also agree very much with the whole in general, and personally, I do that had been painted black.

  The 6.2-liter V8 AMG C63 is now enjoying a new cylinder head, a reprogramming your ECU, a new camshaft and upgraded exhaust system (which is usually done, there is not much new in it), which offers sound more serious and 605 hp.

  They have also built new adjustable suspension, stabilizer bars carbon fiber kit, 100% brakes and limited slip differential.

• Special Seat Leon in 60 Years Anniversary with Spain Flag

  Spanish to the core “? “Wine buff, bulls, castanets and summer destination? Then run to your dealer to order this Seat Leon Hispanicized as could be. Well, actually, to run, what you say run, you can not do, because in Spain this version (known) will not be on sale. At least for now.

  Is a special edition dedicated solely to the French market, the exterior has been painted in red and yellow Spanish flag, to celebrate the 60 anniversary of the Spanish firm. The truth is that this version does not know anything more than what we put in the blog Gaul, or prices, or engines, or units available. In any case, the design of sins a tad tacky, but everyone likes, and sure many love it.

   

• Mercedes-Benz Concept 358 in Australia

  Based in turn on the preparation of the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG, the German manufacturer has submitted the 358 Concept Salon occasion of Australia (in Sydney), a striking orange color called “Pearl Orange”.

  The model presents an extreme preparation, characterized by the AMG Performance Package Plus kit, bringing the power of its V8 to 6.3 liters of displacement, from 457 hp to nothing less, 487 hp. This is also reflected in an increase in torque, which is now 600 Nm.

  Top speed (electronically limited) is in the 250 km / h, with acceleration from 0 to 100 in 4.4 seconds. Your tires are 19-inch multi-link. The most curious, however, is that, despite its striking color, the other components are nothing too “loud”, having a rear spoiler, a diffuser, and redesigned their bumpers as reworked elements, the rest if not for the painting, it could go almost totally unnoticed.

  If anyone asks the price of this unit, when there is nothing official, but to give an idea I can say that the C63 AMG kit costs about € 85,724. We can begin to do math.

   

• Chrysler Sebring: Luxury Car Chrysler 200

  In the U.S., the large (by our standards) since models are the best-selling cars. Although the trend has reversed and there has been some delay, it is still pick-ups and suv model – what the U.S. called for “trucks” – that sells best.

  In order to achieve their sales figures needed it then, “trucks” but also attractive, four-door sedans. Chrysler’s contribution in this area in recent years has been the Sebring and 300, the former having been as strangely soulless as the latter was a character-filled hit. Chrysler 300 has even managed to charm difficult to win over Europeans, while the Sebring is about as usual at our latitude as skedsnäppan.

  But the fact Chrysler hopes to change with the new 200 sedan and a revised 300th Most likely it will be a cautious modernization of the Chrysler 300 and now we have the first pictures of the series finished 200th The 200-ball would look like we got a hunch about already for almost two years ago with the concept

  Chrysler will not share any further technical details, but says only that the 200 will get the four-cylinder “world engine” of 2.4 liters, and the new 3.6-liter Penta Star V6. What baffles us is that the Chrysler 200 is offered with either four-or six-speed automatic transmission, depending on the model. A four-speed automatic transmission, 2011? Hmm …

  The new 200-ball really can think about when the interior and glass surfaces (the “green house, greenhouse, as the accurate name is in English) looks to be transferred from the current Sebring. The front and rear is of course entirely new, and borrows some features from the popular 300 model. The interior is said to be heavily revised, but the pictures on this, we must wait. The car will go on sale in the U.S. during the fourth quarter of this year, that is, relatively soon, which should mean that we will have more detailed information.
