McLaren extends Exxon partnershipMcLaren extends Exxon partnership 11/06/2006 Team McLaren Mercedes and ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company has announced a long-term extension to their Technology Partnership, which sees the Formula 1 team supplied with performance fuels and fully synthetic motor oils and lubricants through the Mobil 1 brand. The Mobil 1, McLaren and Mercedes-Benz Partnership began in 1995, and has seen continuous advances in the technologies used by the team in Formula 1, as the sport concurrently provides the ultimate testing environments for fuels and lubricants in the everyday world of motoring. The Mobil 1 brand will continue to feature prominently on the Team McLaren Mercedes MP4-21, in addition to presence across the team including on the overalls and helmets of drivers Kimi Raikkonen, Juan Pablo Montoya, Pedro de la Rosa and Gary Paffett, as well as on the team kit of the Team McLaren Mercedes personnel and the team's transporters. read more. Long on versatility but short on luggage spaceOne of the more oddball vehicles Mercedes-Benz has ever built was seriously impressive for the first 400 miles. Then we got to Belfast, two occupants became six and it all went pear-shaped. Or at least some of our modest amount of soft-bag luggage did, as we tried to stuff it into non-existent spaces. Which just goes to show that even in the long wheelbase version of what Stuttgart says is the most innovative and cavernous car it has ever produced, you still can't have everything. . read more. Mercedes-Benz's Super Special SLK 55 AMGWhat makes an already overblown factory-tuned Mercedes even more special? More stuff. Such is the new SLK 55 AMG special series, which gets a horsepower boost via a worked-over version of AMG's 5.5-liter V8. The special edition of the only V8-powered roadster in its segment, gets a 45hp bump from 355 to 400, with an increase in torque from 376 ft.-lbs. to 383 (largely by way of a more substantial engine oil cooler and enhanced airflow). It's also been made lighter with typical placement of carbon fiber — in this case a hardtop made from carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic (CRP) — giving it a curb weight of 3,296 lbs, or 100 lbs lighter than the base model, and a corresponding improvement in power-to-weight ratio. Even more stuff?: 19-inch AMG forged wheels, AMG height-adjustable torsion sports suspension and AMG high-performance composite brake system (same 7-TRONIC tranny as the base model) and special racing seats. read more. The Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG special seriesMercedes AMG has announced a special version of the SLK 55 AMG that features not only an even more powerful engine (400 Hp/520 Nm) but an extensively lightened chassis and bodywork with a carbon-fibre roof. The performance improvements give the car considerably improved acceleration times of zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds (standard vehicle: 4.9 secs.)and zero to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 15.5 seconds (standard vehicle: 17.5 secs). The car is only available as a fixed-head, the power roof mechanism having been removed. The new car also features 19-inch AMG forged wheels, AMG height-adjustable torsion sports suspension and an AMG high-performance composite brake system. From a visual standpoint, it's a wide, stocky and low slung machine. The front of the car has a restyled AMG front apron with large air intakes supplying fresh air to the additional transmission oil cooler and the high-performance steering gear oil cooler. read more.We want to invite you to stop back soon and view the additional information we'll have.
