Benz’s plutocrat barge will be the first model to house some of the company’s new generation of inline six-cylinder engines, although those won’t be coming to the U.S. until later. We will get a new entry-level S-class, to be called S450, that will employ the M276 twin-turbocharged V-6 as found in today’s GLS450 and the SL450, where it’s rated at a generous 362 horsepower. To put it into perspective, that’s just 27 horsepower short of the iconic 6.0-liter V-12 launched in the W140 S-class. Europe, by contrast, will see the new and tech-laden M256 3.0-liter straight-six, rated at “over 402 horsepower” and employing an electric turbocharger, a large exhaust turbocharger, and an integrated starter-generator. While it won’t be offered in the U.S. initially, we expect to see it migrate to our market over the next few years. Mercedes-Benz V8-Biturbo-Benzinmotor, M176 ; Mercedes-Benz V8-biturbo engine, M176; Those who think that the prestige of an S-class demands the extra power and cylinder count of a V-8, the smallest engine available today, should watch for a variation of the M176 4.0-liter V-8 (shown above), which was developed by AMG but is slated to replace the current S550’s 449-hp 4.7-liter eight-cylinder in Benz-badged models, too. It will employ a cylinder-deactivation system to operate as a V-4 under low- and medium-load conditions, and it will be far more fuel-efficient than the outgoing engine. Moreover, we hear it will wear a nameplate that should please the traditionalists among Mercedes-Benz owners. Both the six- and eight-cylinder engines will be mated to Benz’s own nine-speed automatic transmission. Beyond those innovative powertrains, we expect the S600 to continue with its awesome 523-hp 6.0-liter V-12. The S550e (photo below) will likely remain unchanged for a while mechanically, but should share in the exterior and interior updates coming for the 2018 model year. 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 plug-in hybrid As to the high-powered AMG versions, the AMG S63 will move to a version of AMG’s own M176 4.0-liter V-8 in place of its current 5.5-liter V-8. And the AMG S65 keeps its brutal 6.0-liter V-12, rated at 621 horsepower. Beyond the new powertrains—don’t expect any of Europe’s awesome diesels for the U.S. market—changes are relatively marginal. There will be new head- and taillights, new front and rear fascias, and some new wheel designs. Inside, the S-class will use larger TFT screens in front of the driver, and they will now be visually connected under a common piece of glass. Today’s unusual two-spoke steering wheel will go away in favor of a more conventional design featuring—you guessed it—three spokes. And, as we’ve reported before, the S-class will be playing catch-up with the mid-size E-class in terms of advanced safety and semi-autonomous driving technologies. Dissected: 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-class 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 vs. Highway 401 Mercedes-Benz S-class: Research, reviews, specs, pricing and more! Watch for the new models to appear at dealers in the summer for the 2018 model year. The changes will be mirrored in the V-8– and V-12–powered Maybach derivatives of the S-class. We expect prices will remain close to those on the current S-class, which range from $97,525 to $173,375 in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, with the exception of the new S450 base model, which should be priced competitively against the six-cylinder BMW 7-series in the low $80K arena. The performance-oriented Mercedes-AMG models can be appreciably more expensive.

CREDIT: LAMBORGHINI Nicola Harley 11 NOVEMBER 2017 • 12:50PM Lamborghini has created the world's first self-healing sports car. The Terzo Millennio, which translates as third millennium in Italian, has the ability to detect and repair cracks in its body work. Using sensors the car can conduct its own health check to detect any damages and self-repair itself by filling the crack with nanotubes to prevent it spreading. The super car was created in collaboration with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. Lamborghini Lamborghini has create a self-healing sports car. CREDIT: LAMBORGHINI Stefano Domenicali, manager and CEO of Lamborghini, said: "Collaborating with MIT for our research and development department is an exceptional opportunity to do what Lamborghini has always been very good at – rewriting the rules on super sports cars. "Now we are presenting an exciting and progressive concept car. "We are inspired by embracing what is impossible today to craft the realities of tomorrow; Lamborghini must always create the dreams of the next generation." Lamborghini unveils its latest revolutionary car. CREDIT: LAMBORGHINI The all-electric car is powered by supercapacitors rather than conventional batteries. The car has an energy storage system which allows it to rapidly charge and hold more power than a battery. Professor Mircea Dinca, from the MIT, added: "The new Lamborghini collaboration allows us to be ambitious and think outside the box in designing new materials that answer energy storage challenges for the demands of an electric sport vehicle. We look forward to teaming up with their engineers and work on this exciting project." The supercapacitors are made using carbon enabling them to be formed into the car's body panels as they are smaller and lighter than conventional batteries.

The project started a year ago, Mr Domenicali added: “Exactly one year ago we have signed an agreement with the MIT-Italy Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which marked the start of a collaboration between two outstanding entities for the creation of a project that intends to write an important page in the future of super sports cars for the third millennium."
