Exciting news coming from Daimler AG this week. Mercedes-Benz’s AMG SLS Gullwing has been bumped up on the production line by two years.  Previously the electric supercar was going to debut in 2015, but now it is slated for 2013.

AMG’s managing director Volkmer Mornhinweg has driven the prototype and promises the car will be just as thrilling as the original AMG SLS model.  Mornhinweg described being behind the wheel of the new prototype as an “amazing kind of experience”. 

The AMG SLS Gulliwing calls for four motors with a combined output of 536 horsepower and 649 pound-feet of torque.  The all-wheel drive electric supercar will also be modeling the same bodywork as the original SLS.

Mornhinweg had made the following statement to Australia’s GoAuto.com, “We can take (out) a combustion engine and transaxle and make no changes to the body, and we can put in two motors with the gearbox in the rear, two motors and the gearbox in the front and we can take the center console as a battery place – it looks like a T and it is perfect.”

Forbes recently featured this write-up about the Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG. We couldn’t be more excited about the incredible things they had to say about this Mercedes Benz model.  Check it out below, or head over to Forbes to read more.

“Exterior: Simply put, the car is beautiful for a four-door sedan-like model–but its four doors don’t distract from the coupe-like appeal it has. The rear is slightly raised, with angular tail lights and a rounded trunk door. The AMG badges and detailing add to its allure.

Interior: AMG’s presence is felt everywhere inside the car, from the door-sill panels and the AMG-made leather sport seats to the sport steering wheel and sport pedals. The biggest bonus? The car doesn’t have the steering-wheel-mounted shifter and old-fashioned radio dial found in most other Mercedes vehicles.

Handling: The CLS lives up to the AMG name in every way. Maneuverability is superb, as are acceleration and braking. It’ll do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds.”

We recently read on emgCarTech that the Mercedes Benz is planning on making a high-performance AMG version of the all new B-Class car.  At first, we thought this new AMG B-Class car would look something like the B-lass wagon, but think again! As emgCarTech said, “While it’s true that Mercedes-Benz AMG division will be doing a high-performance compact car based on the next-generation B-Class, the model will look something more like the F800 Style Concept shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show last month.”  We’re huge fans of the F800 Style Concept for many reasons, and there’s no denying one of it’s greatest assets is its beatiful design.  Now not only will we have a compact performance version of the B-Class, but it will also look like the F800 Style Concept? Dreams really do come true!  To read more about this, head on over to emgCarTech.

We found this article over at Autoweek about the new Mercedes SLS GT3.  See what they had to say below, or head over to Autoweek for more information.

“The new SLS GT3 is a modified Mercedes-Benz SLS intended to meet FIA homologation requirements for the GT3 class in series throughout the world.

While it’s not known what the production car will look like when it starts going to customers either this fall–according to the press release–or “before the start of the 2011 racing season,” according to AMG’s Thomas Rappel, the prototype shown in Oaxaca had a full roll cage, a new front skirt with splitter, rear diffusers and an enormous rear wing.”

We happened upon these spy shots of the 2011 Mercedes Benz SLK over on E Mercedes.  You’ll notice from the photos below, that the next-generation Mercedes SLK retains the same sizing and retractable hardtop as its previous version, but the new SLK bears a striking resemblance to the SLS AMG.  Rumor has it that the Mercedes SLK will debut at the Paris Motor Show in September, though some say we’ll have to wait as far as next year’s Geneva Motor Show.  Either way, check these pics out below and let us know what you think!

We’ve been hearing lots of rumors lately about how Mercedes Benz is teaming up with AMG to make a roadster version of the SLS AMG.  According to Benz Insider, the SLS AMG Roadster will launch in 2012.  Check out the pictures below of drawings taken from the German patent office.  What do you guys think of the possible SLS AMG Roadster in our future?

We stumbled upon this video on the Mercedes-Benz Blog, and couldn’t wait to share it with you guys!  It’s an interesting look at how Mercedes Benz designers view the idea of the green automobile.  Follow the concept of Mercedes Benz environmentally efficient automobiles, which, according to the video does not come in place of, but in addition to the already amazing features each Mercedes Benz car has to offer.  Check out the video below, or head over to the Mercedes-Benz Blog for more information.

We’ll admit it, we’re a little bit obsessed with the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, but look at this car! It’s incredible.  The folks over at Inside Line recently posted some awesome shots (and a great article) of the 2011 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG driving on ice-covered roads.  This hit a soft spot for us, since our Mercedes Benz dealers in New Jersey have been dealing with the harsh winter weather elements for several weeks now.  Driving on ice is definitely unsafe, and we wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t a professional driver.  But, boy does the winter white background made this car look sleek!

News of the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is everywhere, and we can understand why! This car is a beauty! As if the gullwing doors weren’t enough of a draw, the sleek body and powerful speed officially make this car one we can’t wait to cruise around town in.  The SLS AMG is set to hit Europe in mid 2010 before making it’s way here to the U.S. some time in 2011.  In preparation for it’s European arrival, the German’s have aired a TV commercial in which the SLS AMG, with great speed and accuracy, loops a tunnel.  The commercial proves that the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is an automobile for those who crave speed and style.  As the German tag line at the end of the commercial implies, the SLS AMG is more than just another car! Wunderbar!
