Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

The current engine already reaches up to 639 hp. The Black Series was 730 hp. I think they should talk about a new upper limit. We already know it will be at least 600 hp.

I may be mistaken, but the Black series engine was not "compatible" with the new European standards (Euro 7), was it?

Tuners have managed like 1000hp. So the motor has a lot to give.
I guess with the BS, they wanted faster revs/throttle response which flat plane enables.

So interesting. So unfortunate that there is no English-language sound track for non-German speakers:

Indecent Proposal by Trump, Lutnik & Co ? Flying cars ? Autonomous cars completely erasing the need for human drivers ? Industry consolidation ? Corporate base remaining in Germany ? If not, U.S. or China ?

Is this an analog for the western leaders licking Trumps ass (pre Davos that is)?

Yeah these greetings/celebrations used to be fun back in the day.

Nowadays it feels just forced. Going through the motions, created by some millennial kid working in the marketing department with no understanding of wittiness or fun. Well apart from BMW it seems.
But what is particularly sad are these embarrassing Chinese companies who didn't even exist when the W222 was in production. Please. Zero history, zero shared competition, utterly meaningless.

It’ll be interesting to see which one of these companies will be around when the 224 arrives.

Between Nio, Geely and Xiaomi all of them. Twice as big and powerful as they are now.
