1987 Mercedes-benz 190e ( Dog-leg Gear Box ) on 2040-cars
Antelope, California, United States
|
This is a very rare Mercedes 190e. With a Cosworth built 2.3 16V engine. This was Mercedes answer to the iconic BMW E30 M3. There is a slight wear on the driver side bolster and a dent on the trunk lid. Overall this vehicle is in good condition inside and out considering age. It has been very well taken care of. I just replaced the water pump, thermostat, engine cooling fan and temp sensor, bled and pressure tested the cooling system.Replaced both front struts and mounts with new bilsteins, replaced rear suspension accumulators, Replaced the catalytic converter and passed CA smog. The AC is non operational at this time..
This 190E 2.3 16v Mercedes-Benz, is equipped with a 5 speed (Dog-Leg gear box) The exact same transmission as the BmW E30 m3 EVO. This transmission shift pattern desirable on performance cars, in road racing more frequent shifting occurs from first to second gear. So reverse is in the upper left, 2nd,4th. towards the driver, you have lower 1st, 3rd, 5th, this type of gear box was used in the Ferrari 308, the Porsche 914 Lamborghini Countach, and a few others. Needless to say, it is one of a kind, and truly fun to drive, and not many in this good of condition are still on the road.. |

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
