The major update will happen in 2026
Among the monied folk, luxury SUVs are the big thing these days, literally and figuratively. Still, nothing whispers old money and wealth like a full-sized sedan. For decades, the de facto king and go-to was none other than the Mercedes-
Can you guess what the owner's favorite color is?
Mansory has managed to get its mitts on a Mercedes-Maybach S680, but for some reason it hasn't actually given us any details of the modifications it has made.Luckily, we don't really need any actual information, because, well... look

Now that’s what you call ROI
Some people are just straight-up lucky when it comes to raffles-we suppose we've probably joined enough corporate Christmas parties to know that. They just seem to keep winning time and again without even trying.Other people try to play

And yes, it has a V12
Since Mercedes revived the Maybach brand in 2015, it has shifted well over 60,000 cars around the globe. As of 2021, they were selling somewhere close to 600 cars a month. So, this limited-edition version should fly out of the

Lookin' gangsta too
AMG is an absolute juggernaut these days. It's the performance arm of a preeminent car manufacturer, the force behind years of F1 dominance and an engine builder par excellence. And it's hard to say it doesn't deserve every bit
But it's totally fine
This is a thoroughly American Benz. And we love that. It's not an American Benz because it's a G-Wagen parked on Rodeo Drive. It's not because we've done the American thing and called it a Benz, either.
This W140 S-Class features Renntech's magic touch
Numbers without context are generally meaningless. After all, what does 615 mean by itself? Is 600 better, worse or completely unrelated? And what about 76, 12 or indeed 7.6? It's only when you add that last piece of the puzzle

There's a neat bit of dystopian future-gazing in the brilliant Blade Runner 2049 that refers to something called the 'Blackout.' Details are sketchy, but it seems an EMP-electromagnetic pulse-has knocked out the grid at some point, destroying all

The best luxury sedan in the market?
The wait is over. Auto Nation Group, the country's official Mercedes-Benz distributor, has launched the all-new S-Class in the Philippines. The luxury sedan with all the bells and whistles carries a P17,890,000 price tag, but for

Easily one of the poshest sedans in the market
Earlier this year, the country's elite readied their wallets after local Mercedes-Benz distributor Auto Nation Group (ANG) opened reservations for the updated S-Class. If you're someone who's been eagerly waiting on this, you won't have to

Well, that came out of nowhere. Errol Spence Jr. will no longer be facing Manny Pacquiao in the ring on August 21 (August 22 in the Philippines) after suffering a torn retina. Ouch.Taking the American's place later this month will
