Designer Camilo Pardo stages 'Fuel Injection' art show in Michigan

Automotive designer Camilo Pardo's greatest work of art may have been the Ford GT, but those interested in seeing his work in mediums other than sheetmetal can attend his solo exhibition, titled "Fuel Injection," premiering this weekend at the 323 East gallery in Royal Oak, Mich. Running from June 11 to July 2, Pardo's show will include silk-screened images on repurposed materials such as wooden doors and aluminum signs, and it will revisit his favorite subjects--cars and women. The exhibit recalls the pop art of Andy Warhol's era, Pardo says.

2013 Mercedes SLS AMG GT revealed

Mercedes-Benz has revealed two additions to the SLS range with the Mercedes SLS AMG GT Coupe and Roadster with more power and cosmetic tweaks. It’s almost exactly a year since we had the last addition to the Mercedes SLS range when MB took the roof off the Gullwing to give us the SLS AMG Roadster. And now the range of SLS road cars is about to double with the addition of a more powerful SLS Coupe and Roadster in the guise of the new Mercedes SLS AMG GT.

German new car sales drop 11 per cent – pre-reg accounts for 33.5 per cent

New car sales in Germany dropped by 11 per cent in September with pre-reg cars accounting for over a third of all sales. That drop of 11 per cent in Germany is despite deep discount offers – an average of 12.2 per cent in September – with even the previously invincible Mercedes and VW having to offer discounts of up to €3k, despite which VW’s sales fell by 20 per cent in Germany and Mercedes by 12 per cent. What’s perhaps most interesting about the decline in car sales in Germany is the number of pre-reg cars sold (pre reg cars are cars registered by dealers to hit sales targets and then sold at a discount of up to 25 per cent).
