New Short Film Highlights 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatch

Mercedes-Benz tends to accompany the launch of a new model with a short film to highlight its best qualities and the latest A-Class five-door hatchback is no exception.

Look at this 60-Something-Year Old Woman Go on the Drag Strip!

A slightly tuned 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with 475-horses completing the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds is nothing to get excited about, but seeing it done by a 60-something-year old woman with grandma-style glasses is something that's defiantly worth your attention.

Meet drag racer extraordinaire Kathy Countiss who has been doing the sport since she was a teenager and does not intend to stop any time soon.

You will find the videos right after the jump.

Mercedes-Benz Takes Refreshed G-Class Off-The-Road in New TV Spots

Although one of the oldest models on the market since it was launched...two years before Ronald Reagan came into office, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is also if not the, one of the most capable luxury off-roaders money (lots of it…) can buy these days.

And it is this quality that Mercedes-Benz wants to promote in its newest TV spots for the revised G-Wagen named "Style" and "Navigation", both of which can be viewed in the videos that follow right past the break.

A Video Tour Through the History of Mercedes-Benz's AMG Sub-Brand

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the birth of AMG, which is Mercedes-Benz's wholly owned high-performance sub-brand.

Since its foundation in 1967, AMG has been responsible for the company's motorsport activities and the development of Mercedes' high-end sports cars like the SLS and numerous AMG variants of its mainstream models that compete with rivaling proposals from BMW's M division and Audi's Quattro GmbH.

Foolishly Risky Overtake by Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Just because you drive an exotic supercar like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with hundreds of ponies neatly tucked under its long hood, doesn't automatically give you super abilities or a pass on the laws of physics…

Take a look at what this driver of a red SLS AMG attempted during the 2012 Mille Miglia race in Italy in the video that follows right past the break.

Oh, the Irony…McLaren SLR Receives Ticket by Officer in Smart ForTwo

One of the fastest and expensive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz's parent company Daimler receiving a ticket by a man in the group's slowest and cheapest vehicle is not something you encounter every day.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Driver Rams Into Audi 80 Again and Again…

Who knows what goes on inside the minds of some people when they snap, crackle and pop, but whatever it is, it is better to stay as far as possible if you cherish your safety, which is something that the person filming this video did.

For some reason, the driver of a black Mercedes-Benz E-Class saloon in Latvia had a thing with a parked Audi 80 (or its owner) smashing into it several times. See what happened in the clip that follows below the break.

New Photos and Video of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz Citan Van Series

At the Beurs van Berlage, a prominent building on the Damrak in the center of Amsterdam, Mercedes-Benz hosted the world premiere of its new Citan compact van series before the public gets a first look at the vehicle at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover in September.

Mercedes-Benz's entry in the lucrative and growing sector of urban delivery and passenger vans is the result of Daimler's strategic partnership with the Renault-Nissan Alliance as the Citan is based on the Renault Kangoo series.

The Citan will eventually be sold in three different body variants including a panel van, a crew bus and the Mixto. The commercial version of the Citan will offer buyers a choice of three different lengths (3.94 m, 4.32 m and 4.71m).

The five-seater Mixto passenger van is based on the longest platform (4.71m) and features folding rear seat bench, a wire mesh partition separating the load compartment, and two sliding doors.

Mercedes-Benz Shows us the Darker Side of the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series

The most potent member of the C-Class Coupe family, the C63 AMG Black Series Edition, is the star of a new online video from Mercedes-Benz USA titled, for obvious reasons, the "Dark Side".

The short black and white spot shows the 510-horsepower (517PS) two-door model forcefully sliding around corners and at times, grunting its big 6.2-liter V8 powerplant (though not as near as much as we would have liked).

New Mercedes-Benz CSC Officially Revealed, Features 2.0L Turbo and AWD [43 Photos + Video]

Mercedes-Benz has dropped official information and a full set of photos of its Concept Style Coupé (or CSC for short) ahead of the study's brief stint at the Avant/Garde Diaries event in Los Angeles on April 20 and its world premiere at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing on April 23.

The sleek looking sedan concept is a precursor of the production model that will follow next year and which Mercedes will build at its new manufacturing facility in Hungary. Sources state that it will likely be named CLC or CLA.

Judging by the spy shots we've shown you over the past few months, while the production model will be closely based on the concept, it won't be so aggressive in the details.

In essence, the CSC is a CLS-style four-door coupe based on the latest A-Class with which it shares an elongated version of the MFA modular platform, its running gear, interior and driveline. Some of its potential rivals in the premium market include next year's Audi A3 sedan and possibly, a similar model from BMW based on the 1-Series.

New Mercedes Concept Style Coupe Appears on Video and in a New Set of Photos

Like they say, when it leaks it pours. Only hours after the first images of the Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupe (CSC) landed on the web, a video as well as a new wave of pictures of the junior CLS study surfaced online.

In the same way that last year's A-Class Concept previewed the production model that was shown in Geneva this March, the CSC gives us an idea of what the four-door coupe model will look like when it arrives in the market sometime in 2013 as the CLC or CLA.

The study is based on an elongated version of the A-Class' MFA platform sharing the same running gear as the hatchback, including the 208hp (211PS) 2.0-liter boosted four-cylinder engine that drives all four wheels.

The exterior styling of the CSC is an evolution of the F800 Concept from 2010, which also inspired the design of the larger CLS. Suffice to say, the production model will sport a less aggressive shape and design details.

Mercedes-Benz Touts the Safety of its Vehicles in New 'Amy' Spot

There was a time when for most people, automobile safety was synonymous with Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, with both brands heavily promoting this aspect of their vehicles in their advertisements.

As the years passed by, the mainstream automotive industry as a whole made safety a number one priority for their vehicles and gradually all carmakers began showing similar commercials, until of course marketing teams pushed the focus elsewhere.

Now, Mercedes-Benz wants to remind consumers about the safety credentials of its cars with a new spot called Amy, named after a dog that made it out alive along with the…human passengers from a real car wreck involving a CLS sports saloon that occurred last September.

Stock Mercedes SLS AMG Vs. Tuned BMW M6 and Audi RS6

In this week's drag strip battle, we have a stock Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with 571-horses competing against two tuned German sports cars, a previous generation BMW M6 Coupe with 530-ponies and an even more powerful Audi RS6 sedan with 750-horses kicking under its hood.

This time, the number of ponies played their role in the races, though if it wasn't for a bad start, the Mercedes could have won the match with the Audi as well.

You can watch the race for yourself in the video that follows below.

Chris Harris Drives 2013 Mercedes SL and its Forebears

Mercedes-Benz is proud about its sixth-generation SL, and it has every reason to be, as it has created a technological tour-de-force in the premium roadster segment.

It hasn’t taken its time in rolling out hotter versions, either: if you thought the SL63AMG with 530hp or 557hp if you opt for the performance package, would suffice, you should reconsider.

Six Decades of Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster in Less Than Five Minutes

Only time will tell if the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL will be looked back in the future in the same positive way as some of its predecessors do today such as the original W198 or even the Bruno Sacco-designed R129 from the 1990s.

Nevertheless, Mercedes-Benz is always looking for ways to connect its present with its past and for the SL, it does so with a new video that travels us through six decades, from the presentation of the first model in the 1950s to the current iteration, with a little bit of Hollywood glamour.

Head over the break to watch the five-minute long clip.

Mercedes-Benz Shows Off the New SL65 AMG V12 in Motion

To keep the masses interested in its new 2013 SL65 AMG until sales start in September, Mercedes-Benz has offered up a pair of videos that walk us through its design details and show it in action on the road.

You can read all about it in our previous post here, but if you want the skinny, the flagship model of the new SL series employs the use of a tweaked 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that's good for 621hp (630PS) and a peak torque of 1,000Nm (737 lb-ft).

You've likely read about the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK and are aware of most of the details surrounding the facelift that is mainly cosmetic, though the U.S. market model also gets a more powerful V6 and for the first time, a diesel variant.

In anticipation of its world premiere at next month's 2012 New York International Auto Show, the German firm has just released the first official video on the updated compact SUV that will be arriving in European dealerships within the next couple of months and in the U.S., this summer.

You can take a look at it right after the jump.
