This will be a limited-production model called E "Superlight" in 2015 featuring the latest in automotive technology. A chassis constructed entirely from carbonfiber is not a novelty, but it’s not common either, being restricted to hypercars such as the Ferrari Enzo and only recently trickling down to supercars like the McLaren MP4-12C. Yet that’s exactly the material Merc plans to use for the E “Superlight”, shaving more than 350 kg (772 pounds) off the weight of a steel-bodied car. Moreover, thanks to its stiffness, it can do away with B-pillars and make the rear doors swing out and then move rearwards, making entry and exit very easy.  Yet that’s exactly the material Merc plans to use for the E “Superlight”, shaving more than 350 kg (772 pounds) off the weight of a steel-bodied car.

Even if this vehicle was propelled by a two-cylinder air-cooled engine, the E Superlight would still be quite impressive.

Super green and super fuel efficient car. Mercedes-Benz in develop with a new generation of aerodynamic trailer. In collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Commercial Vehicle Design department, they have managed to apply the same principles used in Mercedes-Benz Actros to bring wind resistance level down to 12 to 15 percent lower. The new Mercedes-Benz Aero Trailer front airdam reduces the distance to the tractor unit, thus lowering the wind resistance by one percent. By lowering the wind resistance level, Mercedes-Benz Aero Trailer provides great reduction in fuel consumption to almost 5 percent in real-life road traffic. Although the wind resistance level has been reduced, the fundamental load compartment design remains intact, the dimension remains unaffected. The only limitation would be the fact the this truck’s length measurement go over current permissible limit by almost half a meter. The objective of this design study is to show to the world that it is possible to further reduce the already low consumption and low CO2 emissions of state-of-the-art trucks.

Mercedes has announced a series of new options available on the Gullwing coupe. The list includes new wheels and paint finishes (like the Sepang Brown Metallic) , as well as the company’s latest blind-spot warning system. But the salient point of the announcement (which you can read in full after the jump) is the new AMG Ride Control suspension. Available as a ~$3,000 option over the stock setup, the new adjustable suspension offers drivers a choice between Comfort, Sport or Sport Plus settings. Some buyers will invariably revel in the choices. 

Available as an optional extra, the car’s visual appearance is enhanced by weight-optimised AMG 10-spoke forged wheels shod with tyres in size 265/35 R 19 (front) and 295/30 R 20 (rear). Their matt black paint finish corresponds perfectly with the high-sheen rim flange. Optional red-painted brake callipers all-round provide a further visual highlight. Single-tone or two-tone designo leather in espresso brown is available as a new interior colour – this dark shade of brown perfectly matches the new metallic paint finish AMG Sepang brown. New AMG high-gloss black trim (optional) is an exclusive alternative to the standard centre conslole in solid metal or the optional carbon-fibre trim.

Limousine manufacturer Binz has applied its ‘Procrustean magic’ on the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class stretching the executive sedan to a mighty 5,979mm in length, or about 1,100mm longer than the standard version.

The E-Class limo also adopts a 6-door configuration and three rows of seats, increasing passenger capacity to seven (including the driver). In addition, the two individual middle row seats can be placed to face forward or backward.

Those interested can choose from three powertrain options, including a 204HP 2.2-liter turbo diesel, a 292HP 3.5-liter V6 petrol and a range-toppingh 388HP 5.5-liter V8 petrol.
