Chevrolet Camaro SS laps the 'Ring in... 8:20

News - Auto News

In this automotive day and age, any vehicle that has even a trace amount of performance in its DNA has to make the rounds around the Nurburgring. The new Chevy Camaro SS isn't exempt. So after GM revealed the Camaro on Monday, one of the scribes at InsideLine ran up to an engineer to find out what kind of time the Camaro put down at the Nordschleife. According to Doug Houlihan, GM's chief engineer for global rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the Camaro SS ran the 'Ring in 8:20.

To put that into perspective, the recently released 2008 Cobalt SS did the deed in 8:22, along with the BMW E46 M3 and the last generation BMW M Coupe, followed by the Lotus Exige S and Porsche Cayman S at 8:25.

Ed Welburn, GM'S veep of global design, concedes that the Camaro's shape is merely adequate from an aerodynamic standpoint, with a coefficient of drag on the SS of 0.35 and on the LS/LT models of 0.36 - largely a result of the recessed headlamps and full-width grille.

Houlihan went on to say that their time at the 'Ring allowed them to dial in the steering response and suspension settings, and that the StabiliTrak traction control system on the Camaro will be the best GM can offer. Settings on the SS model allow drivers to choose between track and performance modes, along with completely disabling the system. A launch control feature will also be available on the SS.

The only question now is: where's the video?

Mercedes Tuning Fun: The Wald Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 Sports Line Black Bison Edition

News - Auto News
The Wald Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 Sports Line Black Bison Edition. Where should I begin? I think I need to start by being honest. I don't love her. Not at all. I wouldn't take her out for a nice dinner. I wouldn't lavish her with gifts and whisper adoring praises into her ear. And I certainly wouldn't take her home to meet my parents. But... I don't hate her either.

Geneva Preview: Brabus Bullit Black Arrow Mercedes C-Class with 730Hp V12

News - Auto News

Not that the stealth colour will help you with the cops or anything, but the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow is one bad ass machine. For those of you with a good memory, Brabus unveiled the Mercedes-Benz C-Class based ?Bullit? at last year?s Frankfurt Show. The ?Black Arrow? is nothing more than a ?Bullit? covered in a delicious matte-black paint.

Everything else remains the same with the standard Bullit meaning that the Black Arrow is equipped with a 6.3-liter bi-turbo V12 engine delivering a staggering 730 Hp and 1,320 Nm (974 lb/ft) of torque. The matte-black stealth C-Class needs a mere 3.9 sec the sprint from 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph) and 10.5 sec to go from standstill to 200 km/h (124 mph). And after just 24.5 seconds the car breaks the 300-km/h barrier (186 mph). Top speed is in excess of 360 km/h (225 mph). The Bullit Black Arrow will be built in a small-series production with prices in Germany starting at ?348,000 or $528,700.
