New Mercedes S-Class Brochure is on Internet

New Mercedes S-Class W222 brochure was leaked to internet before the official announcement on Wednesday. Despite I never had an emotional attachment with the S-Class, it is the benchmark of automotive industry. Every new vehicle on this segment always tries to overtake the technologies of S-Class. And again one more time, Mercedes S-Class offers new technologies with conservative design.

Here are some; Magic Body Control, Road Surface Scan and many other new technologies. The initial engine options are S350 BlueTEC (258 HP), S400 Hybrid (306 HP) and the legend S500 (455 HP). S350 BlueTEC is a diesel model and can reach to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. In 1999, this performance can be achieved only by S500!

If you wish to watch the live broadcast of the Mercedes S-Class press event on Wednesday, just bookmark this page.

Will I buy one? As I said before, bed inspired reclining seats are the only reason to buy otherwise I will go for a Bentley Mulsanne.

Interior Picture of The New Mercedes S-Class (W222) Are Here Now!

Interior picture of the new Mercedes S-Class (W222) are here now! The Mercedes S-Class, the combination of boringness and sexiness. The Mercedes S-Class is well known by its conservative design and ground-breaking technology. That’s why I always had confused feelings with the S-Class. 
I really don’t like the design of the S-Class, because it is too conservative but I love the new technology offered on each new model. Literally, the S-Class is the projection of the future motoring. What you will see in next one decade in daily cars can be seen on each new S-Class. 
Recently, the interior photos of new S-Class leaked to public. The steering wheel looks a bit ugly, front dashboard is a bit shinny like an expensive designer sunglass but the rear seats are fantastic! Now the bed style Maybach inspired seats are available with the S-Class. And that’s why you should buy one. With the seats that are capable of turning into bed is a masterpiece comfort. As a result of this priceless comfort, Mercedes can capture some customers from Bentley and Rolls Royce! You may order this features with Bentley and Rolls Royce but it will cost fortune. I assume it will be lower priced on the new S-Class.
You can have a look to exterior photos of the new Mercedes S-Class W222 as well!

New Photos of Maserati Quattroporte

New Maserati Quattroporte, now it is stronger to compete with the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Audi A8 and Jaguar XJ. However, Quattroporte is a bit niche car when you compare with these vehicles. You cannot spot a Quattroporte very often, does not offer wide range of engines and still delivers the racing heritage.

Also, people who buy Quattroporte are different than the people who buy its competitors. Quattroporte is the Italian passion on wheels and it always does look cool.

Now, there are new photos of Maserati Quattroporte!

By the way, Quattroporte is powered by a 3-lt V6 engine with 410 HP and 550 Nm of torque. The engine is coupled with 8-speed automatic gearbox. Maserati only needs 5,1 seconds for rear-wheel to reach 100 km/h and 4,9 seconds for all-wheel drive to reach 100 km/h. Top speed is not limited; rear-wheel drive can achieve 285 km/h and all-wheel drive 283 km/h

By the way, new Maserati Quattroporte is available with all-wheel drive option for better traction.

Mercedes New S-Class 2014 (W222) Photos are Here with Katy Perry

New Mercedes S-Klasse, sorry S-Class is revealed. New S-Class offers more technology, more safety, more power, more efficiency, more conservative look and more similarity to E-Class like in 1990s. Today, WorldCarFans.com revealed the spy photos of the new S-Class and it looks fantastic. However, if we didn’t have the E-Class on production!
Unfortunately, Mercedes went back on time and decided to design their cars based on 1990s philosophy. From C-Class to S-Class, they will look the same from the front. I was very happy when the S-Class (W220) was introduced in 1998 with a distinctive look, but we are back to beginning of 1990s with this new S-Class. My opinion, Mercedes realised that Audi is making a lot of money by similarly looking cars. But the reality is different!
Audi A8 does look like Audi A6, A6 looks like A4. Thus; Audi A8 looks like A4. And many people buy Audi A8 for this reason. Audi A8 is the only large luxury saloon, which does not pose on the road. No one realises how expensive the A8 is, or cannot understand difference between A6 and A8. By this way, you can go around everywhere without even been noticed by people. That’s what I like with Audi.
However, this does not work with Mercedes. When there is a star on a bonnet, the game is over! That’s a Mercedes. 
This new S-Class is the über conservative model since 1990s. When you look around the S-Class, you understand the influence of Maybach, F700 concept car and conservative concern in every single detail. And this confused me a lot! One side of me says, new S-Class looks fantastic and excites me; on the other hand I really don’t want to see one! Designers did their job very well. 
The interior is really well made as I can see from the photos but I need to see in real life to feel the quality of the materials. As I noticed, the new S-Class does not offer 8-zone climate control like in Rolls Royce. So, still S-Class has long way to catch up with Rolls Royce.
In my opinion, new S-Class will bring back the conservative consumers and confuse some the young generation consumers. New S-Class offers so many safety system, I really cannot write it now. Literally, S-Class has everything except ejection seat and emergency slide. Moreover, this new model definitely headed for the Bentley. The design philosophy for the interior is a very supporting statement. On the other hand, the tendency to offer wide range engine becomes a weakness for S-Class to compete with Bentley. Bentley is exclusive and people buy them because they can afford to run a huge petrol engine.
Whether you don’t like the S-Class like me or love it like many people. After this car is on market, it will be a serious competitor. I cannot say that Bentley will lose customers and Rolls Royce will a small scope earthquake. These brands are über exclusive and really hard to take their place. But I really appreciate the effort of Mercedes.
I still go for an Audi A8 W12, no one really knows the W12 and no one really understand how expensive it is. And A8 is the only visible car with stealth mode always on. If you don’t want to show your money, go for an A8.
Lastly, as you may noticed Mercedes did subconscious advertisement. Just look at the climate control screen and you will see the California Gurls / Katy Perry. I really don’t why Mercedes place this three year old but still exciting song. I think, Mercedes tried to give a message to our subconscious  New S-Class may look conservative but it is extremely young deep inside ;)
So, here is the Katy Perry, enjoy ;)

Cars in James Bond Skyfall

James Bond Skyfall, I have just watched the movie and I wanted to write about the cars in the movie. Because, there are more cars placed in Skyfall that you imagine.
The list starts with Land Rover Defender and Audi A4. Then JaguarXJ as you expected, then we Range Rover as usual. China sequences starts with Mercedes S500 (S550 for US market) and the taxi was a Volkswagen Passat. And we saw Land Discovery 4 as police vehicles and as a normal vehicle. I totally forgot the wrecked Volkswagen Beetles in the Turkey.
The London Police was driving Kia Optima, Sportage and Opel/VauxhallAstra. I really don’t know whether the London Police drives Kia or not! And the fire trucks were Dennis, a British classic. Later on, Bond left the Jaguar XJ and moved away with the Aston Martin DB5.
If there are more cars, I will update the post later. It was quite hard to keep up with in the Skyfall :)

Audi S8 US Commercial “Suspect”

Audi S8; if you are reading my blog for long time or know me personally you might have noticed that Audi is not my favourite brand. The only reason for this emotional disconnection is the Audi’s tendency to understeer even with four-wheel drive system Quattro, and most of the Audi’s are front-wheel drive. 
In my opinion, if you are buying a premium car rear-wheel drive is a better option. Therefore, Audi is not in my favourite list. However; Audis are really well made, ride is very comfortable and offers sportive character and Audis look really good.
Recently, Audi developed a new technology called ActiveSport Differential. This technology enables to transfer power to each rear-wheel independently and reduce the tendency to understeer. Unfortunately, Active Sport Differential is optional but worth to buy.
I recently found this Audi S8 advertisement in Audi’s US YouTube channel. Scenario is really original and you feel the excitement of the S8! What is Audi S8? Audi S8 is the powerful and more sporty version of A8. Audi brands their performance models with S instead of A, BMW does with m and Mercedes does with AMG.
Audi S8 is powered by a 4-lt TFSI petrol engine with 520 PS of power and coupled with 8-speed automatic gearbox. Audi S8’s competitors; Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-Series do not offer this level of performance from 4-lt engine. Therefore, Audi deserve respect for its engineering achievement. Honestly, I may buy an Audi S8 ;)
