New York 2009: Clean Diesel E250 Concept Unveiled by Mercedes

May 30, 1999

As part of the Mercedes Benz initiative to make the North American market turn to clean diesel solutions, the automaker has unveiled its new E250 Bluetec concept at the New York Motor Show.

The new Mercedes E250 Bluetec concept runs on a 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine capable of 201bhp. The engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency figures are at 33.6 mpg in city traffic and 46.8 mpg in highway traffic. With these figures, the car is already well within the new Bin 5 and EU6 emission laws set to be implemented by 2014.

For a more eco-friendly exhaust, the E250 Bluetec concept makes use of a specialized urea solution within the exhaust system, which greatly reduces the car’s nitrogen oxide emissions. With the urea tank’s 25-liter capacity, owners are guaranteed minimal maintenance and refilling.

The E250 Bluetec is still in the concept stages, but Mercedes Benz should be able to finish development soon, given that the new E350 Bluetec will hit European dealerships in autumn. The technology is already out there, so it shouldn’t take too much time for the production E250.

FAB Brings New Meaning to Desire with Custom SLR

May 30, 1999

FAB Design, a Swiss tuner specializing in Mercedes Benz sports cars, has come up with the SLR Desire—a limited-run 750-horsepower machine with stunning body work and extensive performance upgrades.

With some modifications to the standard SLR McLaren’s engine, the Desire has goes over a hundred horsepower better than the base unit. This, along with the extensive aerodynamic improvements on the carbon fiber body, allow the Desire to reach a regulated top speed of 192mph. Additionally, the car has a 0-62mph time of 3.6 seconds.

The Desire’s side skirts have recesses for the six exhaust pipes of the car’s custom high-performance sports exhaust system. There’s also a big diffuser at the back’s redesigned panels and a wide rear spoiler. FAB Designs say the additions were made for improved driving dynamics.

Only 15 FAB Design SLR Desire units will comprise the entire production run, which means the exclusivity alone should make it a sought-after commodity by people with a whole shitload of money.
