Mercedes E Class Estate – UK details and prices

The 2010 Mercedes E Class Estate launches in the UK this week The 2010 Mercedes E Class Estate has hit the UK this week, with the E Class Estate going on sale for the first time, with versions ranging from the E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY right up to the range topping E63 AMG Estate and prices from £29,785 up to a rather large £73,855. But it’s not just the price that’s large – at least on the E63 AMG – it’s the E Class Estate itself. It is quite simply cavernous, offering 696 litres of load space with the seats up and 1950 litres with the seats down.

Official: Aston Martin gets its hands on Mercedes AMG engines & Electronic Architecture

Aston Martin & AMG confirm they’re getting in bed together Back in December we reported that Aston Martin had new investment from Investindustrial and wondered if that would mean – thanks to an existing relationship between Investindustrial and AMG – if we’d see Aston Martin finally getting access to AMG’s engines and platforms. By May, things had moved on and it was clear that Aston Martin and AMG were in talks for Aston Martin to get access to their engines for the next generation of AML’s cars. Now those talks have borne fruit and AMG and AML have signed a letter of intent for Aston Martin to “access significant Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Mercedes-Benz Cars’ resources, allowing the development of bespoke V8 powertrains and the use of certain components of electric/electronic (e/e) architecture.” Interestingly, there’s no talk of V12 engines – which could mean Aston Martin are going to move from the current Ford V12 for the DB9 and Vanquish to a powerful V8 from AMG – and nor is there talk of sharing platforms.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante

Lamborghini today showed the world their new at the LA show - now take a deep breath - Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante. And you thought Japanese brands loved a multi-faceted verbose car name. In simple terms the Performante is the Spyder version of the Superleggara. It's been on the same religiously slim-fast diet, adopting lots of carbonfibre (inside and out), swapping the standard car's leather for lightweight Alcantara, and receiving lightweight wheels.
