Tough Guy Learns a Lesson About Road Rage and Hitting an Old Man


We strongly oppose any form of violence on the road or anywhere else, for that matter, but what happens when you actually see someone attacking another person? Obviously, there's not one answer to that question as it all depends on the circumstances and whether or not someone's life is in danger.

In yet another wild incident from Russia that was captured on camera, a middle-age man in a Mercedes-Benz was squabbling with an elderly man in a hatchback.

The talk quickly escalated and the person in the Merc stepped out of the car and began attacking the other driver, initially punching and then kicking him with all his strength.

At that point, a young man in an Audi SUV stopped over and came to the scene and said something to the Mercedes driver who brushed him away. Seconds later the Audi driver runs back with a metal bat in his hand and whacks the tough guy on his legs putting him down. He then rushes to the Mercedes and breaks the mirror and windows before returning to his Audi and driving off!

To make things a bit more interesting, we learn that Mercedes will put several camouflaged 2012 A-Class hatchbacks in circulation in various German cities as part of a competition that will see one contestant winning a trip to the car's unveiling in Geneva.

2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback Scooped on Film


Our crafty spy shooters turned to video mode to capture the upcoming 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class model during winter testing in Europe.

The prototypes retain the usual camouflage though the video footage provides a better view of the new A-Class model's proportions and stance.

For the third generation A-Class, Mercedes-Benz has changed the formula switching to a regular platform and a traditional five-door body style that will be followed later on by a three-door model, which will resemble the A-Class Concept shown in New York and Shanghai last year.

We Spy the New Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake on Film


At the Auto China motorshow in 2010, Mercedes-Benz previewed the design language of the current, second-generation CLS sports saloon with the Shooting Brake concept car, which generally received positive reviews.

It didn’t take long for the premium carmaker to announce its intention to expand the range of the CLS series with a second body style based on that study, while the company even confirmed that the Shooting Brake model would arrive in dealerships during 2012.

Over the months that followed, we saw several scoops of the CLS Shooting Brake, and now our spy shooters travelled all the way to northern Sweden to film the sleek five-door model during winter testing.

Mercedes-Benz Releases New Video Footage of 2012 SLK 55 AMG


After the recent track footage of the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series being thrown around the corners of the Laguna Seca circuit in California, Mercedes-Benz's AMG division released a new video of another product it launched this year, the 2012 SLK 55 AMG.

Unfortunately, the clip was filmed on public roads so it's far more politically correct (…if you get our drift) than what you'd expect from a rear-wheel drive sports car like the new SLK 55 AMG that boasts a 5.5-liter V8 engine with 422HP and 540 Nm.

Nevertheless, feel free to check it out for yourself in the video that follows after the break.

New Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series Flexes its Muscles on the Laguna Seca Circuit


The sinister beast that is the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series is the kind of car that is arguably best enjoyed in its natural habitat, which is none other than the racetrack.

To prove this, the German firm took the most powerful production version of its C-Class Coupe to the Laguna Seca circuit in California for some quick laps and shared the video with us.

Keep on Burning: Mika Häkkinen and Jenson Button Burn Their Initials on the Ashpalt with a C63 AMG


It's a strange cocktail to say the least: two of the world's finest professional drivers, two-time F1 champion Mika Häkkinen and 2009 F1 champ Jenson Button, get into a 450-horsepower Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sports saloon to promote a 'don't drink and drive' campaign from renowned Scotch whiskey brand Johnny Walker by burning their initials on the asphalt.

You can watch the ad for yourself in the video after the break.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL: Feast Your Eyes on 60 High-Res Photos and the First Official Videos


The last couple of days, the sixth-generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL roadster has been one of the hottest subjects on the web – and rightly so, as it introduces several new technologies that will eventually trickle down to the premium automaker's other models.

There's a lot to mention, but one of the highlights is the aluminum bodywork, which significantly reduces weight and has a positive effect on both agility and handling as well as fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

However, if these leaked scanned images of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL brochure turn out to be true – and from what we can tell, they seem genuine, you can get your first gander at Stuttgart new roadster model in the gallery after the jump.

Video: Fifth Gear Pits Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe against Audi RS5


The most powerful versions of premium coupes like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A5 are something like the Swiss Army knives of the automotive world. They can do just about anything aside from going off-road.

These cars can be used every day, making a home to office or school commute as comfortably as their more humble siblings, while they can also seat four or five people and have a decent boot, quality interiors, generous equipment, good looks and a prestigious badge.

Chuck Norris Approved: Alert Woman Ducks Rolling Mercedes ML


A traffic camera located at an intersection in the small Russian town of Timashevsk in the Krasnodar region captured a terrifying accident involving a Mercedes-Benz ML350 SUV.

The driver of the German luxury crossover blew right through a red light at speed and was hit on the rear passenger side by an oncoming Daewoo Nexia, which sent the Mercedes rolling over towards a pedestrian on the sidewalk.

Amazingly, the alert woman saw the Mercedes-Benz SUV coming her way and she instinctively jumped to safety literally at the last moment. The ML350 came to a stop on an electric pole with the video showing the careless driver jumping out of the car, apparently unhurt.

Kanye West and Jay-Z Destroy $300,000 Maybach in their New Music Video Just for Fun



It’s no secret that rappers like to show off their expensive and usually over the top blinged-up luxury cars in their music videos as a means to prove their status. However, world-famous artists Kanye West and Jay-Z may have gone a little too far in their new “Otis” music video.

The two rappers obviously wanted to do something different than just flaunt their ultra-expensive sets of wheels, so they grabbed a welding torch and a metal cutting saw and obliterated a $300,000 Maybach.

Who knows, maybe they thought it looked better that way... You can watch the video after the jump.

Video: Lithuanian Mayor Crushes a Mercedes S-Class with an Armored Troop Carrier


The BTR is the standard Soviet (now Russian) armored troop carrier used by the military of the former Eastern Block. Communism has fallen and Lithuania is now independent, yet Arturas Zuokas, the Mayor of the city of Vilnius used the BTR to destroy one of the symbols of the decadent capitalist West [sic].

But seriously, Zuokas climbed on to a BTR and drove over a W140 Mercedes-Benz S-Class as part of a publicity stunt to show his frustration over the fact that rich citizens with expensive cars cannot disregard the law and park wherever they want, even in bicycle lanes.

Marketing Ploy or Real? Nico Rosberg Scares David Coultard During a Ride Around the 'Ring in an SLS AMG


We all know that no matter how good of a driver you may be, it's one thing being in control behind the steering wheel and another when you're seated on the passenger side of the vehicle.

But could that really be the case when the passenger happens to be an experienced former Formula One racing driver like David Coulthard?

Well, that's what this video would like us to believe. It shows Mercedes-Benz F1 driver Nico Rosberg taking the Scotsman for a quick lap around the partly wet Nürburgring-Nordschleife in an SLS AMG Gullwing and supposedly scaring him in the process. Watch it after the jump and tell us what you think.

What do you Say? Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG DTM Gulf Oil Edition


While surely not a mainstream choice, there's no shortage of private sports cars dressed in the historic, characteristic orange and blue colors of Gulf Oil. Needless to say, the two-tone paintjob looks awesome on some cars and not so much on others.

In the video after the jump, you'll see a very rare Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG DTM sporting the iconic hues. Check it out and tell us what you think in the comments.
