Having received an overdue and extensive makeover, this bestseller was ready to shine again. The sun of Tenerife added that extra portion of glitz as we took the car out for a quick spin.<span id="more-1654"></span><br />I have made it very clear on a couple of occasions that I am a big fan of this upgrade, so I won’t reiterate any past statements. As a matter of fact I would like to add something new to the equation; namely how the new C-Class handles.<br /><br />With warm weather, the tires and the tarmac produced a lot of grip as I took the C-Class around the curves. Again I had benched modesty for a C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY and the added horses were indeed tangible. The C-Class is no more an entrance into Star World but it has built up quite a profile on its own. This time around it has also added sportiness to its character, cleverly managing the split between comfort and quickly moving forwards. By all means, it still sets the comfort benchmark in its class but has now diversified its abilities. Curves are a delight and the V6 generates a pleasant roar when unleashed. Still it retains a civility that some of its rivals lack and it is now a very gentlemanly but truly sportive specimen. <br /><br />Looking out at the sunny scenery I felt very at home in the new cockpit, although I kept wondering if these perfect warm conditions did not distort my perception and make the car appear better than it is. How would it fare under more extreme circumstances? Luckily it is a question I could answer with ease, thanks to the hospitality of Mercedes-Benz Driving Events in Sweden. Well, check it out yourself.<br /><br /><br />The new C-Class has all the necessary ingredients to stave off any potential rivals until the successor enters the scene. This is an upgrade that made real sense and rectified things that needed attention, which has not always been the case. All in all, the new C-Class is a safe bet and every time I get to drive it, I know I will feel equally at home as it made me feel on my ride in Tenerife.<br />As always keep upgrading, yours truthfully,<br />Matthew K" <br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wTJ3dSfQDV4?rel=0&hd=1" title="YouTube video player" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">everything belongs to: <a href="http://reporter.mercedes-benz.com/upgraded-c-class-fresh-from-the-beauty-salon-1654/">reporter.mercedes-benz.com</a></span><br /><br />Lisa<br /><br /><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like font="arial" href="http://the-car-addict.blogspot.com/" show_faces="false" width="450"></fb:like><br />You can find me also on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thecaraddict">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecaraddictblog/">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/TheCarAddict">twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/2145590/the-car-addict">Bloglovin</a> and of course on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/autofreak4ever">YouTube</a>.

Car of the Week: McLaren Mercedes SLR

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZlD3wVEdLbwgW84tt-yKu9u-nixOJXF12_sb9Dv70-5gDcRNZf7jcQD8NLT1seZXClbE_w7ba7iDqu32r2OPoLMAcDWPb3BwIE5ogPWPQ1y__wj1jrYxL-gvekjme3yHPQGCJKACflIq/s1600/DSC07345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZlD3wVEdLbwgW84tt-yKu9u-nixOJXF12_sb9Dv70-5gDcRNZf7jcQD8NLT1seZXClbE_w7ba7iDqu32r2OPoLMAcDWPb3BwIE5ogPWPQ1y__wj1jrYxL-gvekjme3yHPQGCJKACflIq/s640/DSC07345.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Hey Guys<br /><br />Because it's my Birthday (yai, finally 18!) today I've chosen my favourite car for todays post: the McLaren Mercedes SLR :)<br /><br />First some shots with 2 of my 4 SLR models (damn, where are the other ones :/) and later I gonna add some self-taken shots of SLR's.<br />Hope you like them! :)<br /><br /><br />Now something about the SLR<br />The SLR is a jointly production by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive. Up from 2003 they biult during their 7 years production time about 500 cars a year in Porthsmouth and in Woking, Surrey, England (McLarens Homebase). The base price was GB£295,337 (approx. US$450,000, €351,269, CHF 500,000 or C$<span style="color: black;"> 499,999c. (2009) and made it (in 2008) to the ninth most expensive street legal car.</span><br />The letters SLR stand for Sport, Liht, Racing (or, in originally german meaning "Sport, Leicht, Rennsport").<br />From 0-100 kmh / 62 mph you need 3.2 seconds, from 0-200 kmh / 124 mph 9.6 seconds and from 0-300 kmh / 190 mph 24.8 seconds. With it's 626 HP you can reach a top speed of 334 kmh / 208 mph.<br /><br />There are also some special editions of the SLR, like:<br />The <b>722 Edition</b> with 650 HP and a top speed of 337 kmh / 209 mph. The name goes back to Sir Stirling Moss' starting number '722' at his participation at the 1955' Mille Miglia with a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. They did also some modifications to reduce some weight.<br /><br />The <b>Roadster</b> were brought to the dealers in September 2007 with a price at about £350,000 ($534 485 U.S.). It has 617 HP and, with the roof retracted, you're able to understand conversations between the co-driver and yourself perfectly up to a speed of 200 kmh / 120 mph.<br /><br />The <b>Roadster 722 S </b>was realeased in 2009 and they produced only 150 units of the 334 kmh / 208 mph as a limited edition.<br /><br />The <b>722 GT</b> is the 'Rece Version' of the 722, with a wider bodywork, a racing wing and diffuser and some more modifications. It was built since 2007.<br /><br />The last project of the nice Collaboration between McLaren and Mercedes was the to 75 units limited edition, the <b>Stirling Moss</b>, named after Sir Stirling Moss in year 2009. It's only buyable for current SLR owners.<br />It's inspired by the, now classical, 300 SLR and has 640 HP with a top speed of 350 kmh / 220 mph.<br /><br />Here's a nice soundfile (found on wikipedia):<br /><table class="metadata mbox-small" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170);"><tbody><tr> <td class="mbox-image"><div class="center"><div class="floatnone"><img alt="" height="50" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/50px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png" width="50" /></div></div></td> <td class="mbox-text" style="line-height: 1.1em;"><div class="haudio"><div class="fn" style="padding: 2px 0pt;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mercedes-Benz_SLR_McLaren_722.ogg" title="File:Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722.ogg">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722</a></div><div><div id="ogg_player_1"><div><button style="text-align: center; width: 220px;" title="Play sound"><img alt="Play sound" height="22" src="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/OggHandler/play.png" width="22" /></button></div></div></div><div class="description" style="padding: 0pt;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009</div></div><hr /></td> </tr><tr> <td class="mbox-text" colspan="2" style="line-height: 1.1em;"><span style="font-size: smaller;"><i>Problems listening to this file?
