Mercedes have introduced a new 5.5L V8 powered CLK Class model.
Power jumps to 388 bhp from last years 302 bhp model, which means a not too shabby 0-62 mph time of 5.2 seconds. This is over half a second faster than the 2006 model, yet fuel consumption remains the same. The mean people at Mercedes have limited top speed to 155 mph.
Judging by these high speed shots, the new Mini is just about ready for the road.
Due out within the next six months, the new Mini hasn’t been radically altered in any way. The main difference is a slightly longer body, new style headlights fitted further up the wings and a raised bonnet height (brought about by new Pedestrian safety rules).
DaimlerChrysler have announced that production of the Mercedes C class coupe is being moved to Juiz de Forza, in Brazil.
An eagle eyed BMW forum user in Germany spotted this E93 Cabriolet while he was on the autobahn.
