Mercedes-Benz Vision Tokyo Concept

 

 

  Mercedes-Benz is fully embracing the concept of autonomous cars, seeing them as a means to transform the way we interact and use cars. They gave a glimpse of their vision for a world where driving will be optional with the F015 Luxury in Motion concept unveiled at the start of this year, and now Mercedes is following it up with the Vision Tokyo concept at this week’s 2015 Tokyo Motor Show.

   The Vision Tokyo is in the form of a small, self-driving van and is described as a lounge on wheels aimed at "Generation Z", i.e. anyone born after 1995. Instead of a conventional windscreen, the Vision Tokyo features a continuous stretch of glass paneling that provides excellent visibility while also being capable of displaying information. As mentioned, the Vision Tokyo is fully autonomous. As a pointer to the potential for autonomous operation and the comprehensive system of vehicle environment sensors that this requires, one of which is a 360-degree camera, there is a fin on the roof that integrates all of the technology. With a full charge of the batteries, the Vision Tokyo should be able to cover approximately 120 miles, with this figure rising to just over 600 miles when a full tank of hydrogen is used.

2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG First Drive: Video

As the new kid on the sports-sedan block, the C450 AMG 4MATIC has a lot to prove, and while it may not be a full-on Mercedes-AMG product like the steroidal C63, it contains enough of its big brother’s goodies to earn the AMG badge.
   One glance at the all-new 2016 C450 AMG 4MATIC tells you that it is true AMG, with its characteristic body styling and AMG-exclusive wheels. But the proof is in not just what you see, but also in what you feel: a performance-tuned 3.0-liter biturbo V-6 that delivers 362 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque to propel you to 60mph in only 4.9 sec. A suspension adopted from the top-of-the-line Mercedes-AMG C63. And the rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system found in a number of AMG models.
