ITTED with some of the most advanced safety features so far developed, performance specialists AMG have created a Mercedes muscle machine for the gentleman with a bad boy streak. Costing the best part of £110,000, the S63 AMG is a two-ton limousine with supercar acceleration of 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. In true AMG fashion, this version of Mercedes’ flagship saloon is a blend of luxury and maximum performance. It also marks the debut of a new V8 engine and some astonishing technology. Blind spot warning devices and lane drift alerts have been around for a couple of years and now Mercedes has taken them to a new level by making the devices interactive. Should a driver ignore the warning buzzers and lights and unintentionally cross a white line or start to overtake on a motorway with a vehicle bearing down from behind, then the system cuts in to move the car out of danger. It works by linking the electronic stability controls into the blind spot and lane change sensors to gently apply the brakes to bring the car back on line. Having tested the systems under controlled conditions both are effective and come into play at speeds ranging from less than 20mph to 125. Coupled to other features already in use on the S-Class such as emergency sensors which apply the brakes and arm the airbags and seatbelts if a collision is unavoidable, the S63 is at the forefront of safety. At the moment the system, which adds £2,020 to the price, is available only on the AMG but eventually Mercedes plans to make it available on other models throughout the range. The same is true of the new 5.5-litre V8 engine which is being launched as a twin turbo in the S63. Replacing the normally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 in the

REBEL WITH A CAUSE: The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG is a muscle machine for the gentleman with a bad boy streak.
Muscle machine’s a real techno treat
current S63 the new engine not only develops more power but is also more economical. Average fuel economy is said to be 25 per cent better at 26.9mpg and CO2 emissions are some 30 per cent lower at 244g/km. The S63 has a seven speed semi-automatic gearbox which not only delivers rapid fire changes either in manual or auto mode but is fitted with a stop/start function to boost economy further. It is also a direct injection engine – the first time AMG has used such

fuel efficient technology. Compared to the current model with its 344g/km emissions and average consumption of less than 20mpg on a good day, the improvements are significant. Power output is 544bhp – up from 518 – yet if anything the new S63 is more refined. The raucous performance of the current car is replaced with smooth but potent acceleration, although it can still roar like any finely tuned V8 should. Possibly conscious that the latest
S63 is not as brutish as some of its predecessors AMG has a performance pack available which pumps up the power to 571bhp. It costs £7,890 but gives the S63 an awesome top speed of 186mph while shaving the 0-60 time down to 4.4 seconds. As such the S63 is almost in a league of its own with Ferrari-like performance but luxurious appointments to rival a Bentley. Yet despite the wonderful engineering there is nothing outlandish to the eye. Apart from
the AMG biturbo badging and quad exhausts there is little to giveaway the might of this classy Mercedes. It’s pushing sophistication and technology to new limits in a car which will be appreciated by those who have come to expect the best from AMG. Fuel efficiency is now at the forefront of the AMG ethos and the hand-built engine used in the S63 demonstrates how performance can be maintained while pushing economy to new levels.

smart fortwo passion cdi
smart in the city
SUITS YOU: Performance upgrades have boosted the smart fortwo cdi’spower by 21%, torque by 18% and cut the 0-62mph sprint by three seconds
S
MART is certainly the word for the fortwo cdi – and it means considerably more than just a neat suit of clothes. Not content with being the world’s most economical production car, the makers of this efficiency marvel refused to rest on their laurels. Springtime saw the bar raised again with CO2 emissions down to a healthy 86g/km to go with the sort of fuel consumption – an average 85.6mpg - that makes filling station owners grind their teeth. That’s on top of performance upgrades that have boosted power by 21%, torque by 18% and cut the 0-62mph sprint by three seconds. And according to smart, it means both coupe and cabrio variants of the fortwo cdi benefit from improved ride and handling, excellent safety credentials, better head and shoulder room to go with

comfier seats and a better ventilation system. It’s a couple of years since I last drove a smart and can concur that great strides have been made. What I really like about this car apart from the economy figures is the feelgood factor you get merely from sitting in the cabin. Everything looks freshly designed and funky with flecked fabric door inserts, a leather steering wheel with aluminium centrepiece and instrument pods mounted atop the dash. But the biggest difference
concerns the transmission. The three-cylinder diesel engine works with an automated five-speed manual gearbox operated either by tapping the shift lever on the centre console or using the optional paddle shifts on the steering wheel. The beauty of it is that there’s also a kick-down function activated with the throttle pedal which lets the driver change down by one or two gears and make better use of the engine’s low-speed torque. The tested model, in top spec passion trim, also has a fully automatic mode. It’s convenient for those who don’t want to be bothered with the shifts but too lurchy for everyday use. You can drive long distances in the smart cdi and it cruises well once you get up to speed, but its natural habitat is city and suburban where that ability to squeeze into tight spaces – you can practically park the thing on your

Ford shifts up the power with efficient new transmission
POWER DRIVE: The new Ford Mondeo
FORD has tripled the availability of its fuel efficient PowerShift transmission, extending the slick self-shifter to six different models. PowerShift is a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, combining the performance and fuel-efficiency of a manual gearbox with the ease and convenience of a conventional automatic. Originally launched in the
Ford Focus and C-MAX, the transmission is now also available on the Kuga, Mondeo, S-MAX and Galaxy. In the case of the latter trio, PowerShift is fitted as standard to the new 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, while on these three models plus the Kuga, Focus and C-MAX, it can also be specified with the 2.0-litre Duratorq diesel engine, with
resulting CO2 emissions as low as 149g/km. “We are excited to extend the benefits of the PowerShift transmission to a much broader range of cars and engines within Ford’s line-up,” said Pat Oldani, Ford’s automatic transmission manager. Drivers have the option of using a full automatic mode, a sport automatic mode or

selecting gears manually. In sport mode, the transmission offes more dynamic performance, while manual mode allows the driver to enjoy quick gearchanges by moving the shift lever forwards or backwards. Diesel models fitted with Ford PowerShift cost approximately £1,500 more than the equivalent vehicle with a manual gearbox.
