Image
Bought by the Birdman Sure, you can buy a Maybach 57S Cruiserio Coupe for a million dollars (€675,000) but why bother when you can have the real thing for just $7 million (€4,721,200) more? According to recent reports, the Birdman (aka rapper Bryan Williams) plopped down a hefty wad of cash to purchase a Maybach Exelero coupe. We weren't aware any were for sale, but the original show car was handed over to German tire company Fulda Reifenwerke and we haven't heard much about it since then. As we have previously reported, the Exelero features a 6.0-liter biturbo V12 engine that produces 691 hp (515 kW / 700 PS) and 1,020 Nm (752 lb-ft) of torque.

Fiat 500 art car from Mozambique - last piece by artist before passing away

Image
A lasting tribute Fiat has unveiled a 500 art car to celebrate the opening of a new dealership in Maputo, Mozambique. Dubbed the Italian Woman, the unique vehicle was created by renowned artist Malangatana Valente Ngwenya who suddenly passed away on January 5th, 2011. Despite this tragedy, the car will be auctioned off and all proceeds will benefit the Malangatana Foundation which helps underprivileged citizens of the African nation. According to a spokesperson for the Malangatana Foundation, "The recent death of Malangatana did not allow him to personally introduce his 'Italian Woman' to the world. That task instead fell to those of us that were closely involved with the project and, in a small way, allowed us to pay homage to an all-time great Africa artist, an icon in the Mozambican cultural landscape and, above all, an extraordinary human being. 'The Italian Woman' is a crowning tribute to a memorable artist's fruitful life and serves to commemorate and per...

2013 Mercedes S-Class spied with less camouflage

Image
Will have a greater focus on hybrid technology Mercedes is hard at work testing the 2013 S-Class as our spies have caught several new pictures of the brand's redesigned flagship. While the prototype is heavily camouflaged, the car is expected to adopt a more streamlined appearance with a prominent grille and CLS-inspired headlights. Furthermore, the vehicle should be slightly larger than today's model. Engine options remain a bit of a mystery, but choices will likely mimic the current lineup. Despite this, there will be a greater focus on hybrid technology as previous reports have indicated that American models (non-AMG) could be offered exclusively in the fuel-saving guise. More importantly, we can also expect a plug-in hybrid variant with a powertrain that mimics the Vision S 500 Hybrid concept . Sponsored By : CHAUDHRI ELECTRODE ENGINEERING. AL-MUQIT STEELS.
