It’s been a little while since we saw the epic Mercedes-AMG One, but Top Gear is on-hand to help with an up-close look at the forthcoming hypercar. And it is indeed hyper in every sense of the world, from its complex active aero components to the hybrid powertrain and of course the F1-derived 1.6-liter V6 engine, screaming at the world with an 11,000-RPM redline.

Mercedes A250e, B250e Unveiled With Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain
Mercedes' revamped compact car range is being electrified. The rumors were true – Mercedes is finally electrifying some models from its compact car range by installing a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the A-Class hatchback, A-Class sedan, and the B-Class minivan. Carrying the “250e” suffix and “EQ Power” branding, the trio largely retains the design of the conventionally powered models, but obviously with an extra fuel cap on the other rear fender to charge the 15.6-kWh battery pack. At the heart of the 250e models is the very same turbocharged four-cylinder 1.33-liter gasoline engine you’ll find in a regular A-Class or B-Class. It produces 158 horsepower (118 kilowatts) and 250 Newton-meters (184 pound-feet) of torque and works together with an electric motor rated at 101 hp (75 kW) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft). The PHEV system enables a combined output of 215 hp (160 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) and is linked to an eight-speed, … [Read more...] about Mercedes A250e, B250e Unveiled With Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain

2021 Mercedes GLA Teased In Revealing Design Sketch
As with just about every other sketch out there, the wheels are unrealistically large. We are merely 48 hours away from the world debut of the second-generation GLA and Mercedes is easing the wait with the release of a new teaser. This time around, the crossover’s revamped exterior design is being previewed to reveal a familiar design derived from the brand’s latest crop of compact cars. Those large wheels may look nice, but the set’s size will go down a bit on the real thing, while those off-road tires will be swapped out for something more road-oriented. Gallery: 2021 Mercedes GLA teasers 10 Photos The three-pointed star company has already shared some preliminary technical specifications, mentioning the new GLA will be around 10 centimeters (3.93 inches) taller than the outgoing model in a bid to lend it a more crossover appearance.
