2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550

Mercedes Benz has always been known to stir the imagination with high quality cars that possess a combination of luxury and speed. Among their recent models, only a few have created a larger stir than their CLS. Best known for being a “4 door coupe”, its styling has been well received by both fans and critics alike.

When the new generation of the CLS was unveiled late in 2010, it had quite huge shoes to fill. After all, more than 170,000 CLS models have been sold in a span of six years, and on the process created a new styling niche that is completely theirs.

Exterior & Interior

Sure, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 retains that 4 door coupe styling that made it so popular with the masses. But this car is a completely new model that is designed to build on the strong tradition of the original. A front end that is apparently inspired by the retro-inspired supercar SLS sets the tone for the new design. Still up front, the CLS is the first production car ever to use full LED lights on their headlight system. The same outline that made the CLS special was retained, but they are reformatted to present a smoother, more aggressive feel.

Performance

To round of the car, the interior is the recipient of a classic yet progressive arrangement from the seats down to the instruments, true to the tradition of Mercedes Benz. And a 5.5 liter twin turbo engine producing 402 horsepower provides the muscle for this muscular device. The 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS550 is on a class of its own, just like the modern legend that it replaced.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Only a few names like the Ford Mustang are more revered than the tagline Boss. It is best known as the performance package for the 1970 Mustang that went on to win Trans-Am races. And now, for the current crop of Mustangs, the Boss name has been revived, much to the delight of enthusiasts of this legendary sports car. But how does the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 edition stack up?

Tradition

True to the tradition, the new Boss is developed for the performance enthusiast. As for the looks, it gives a great salute to the Mustang’s colorful past, complete with racing stripes and hockey stick graphics. And with a new yellow paint job that gives a salute to 1970 Trans Am champion Parnelli Jones; the nostalgia is taken to another level.

Performance

But nostalgia is not just the only thing that makes the new Boss stand out from the others. Improved performance, true to the design ethos of the original Boss, has been accomplished thanks to a long line of modifications. A 302 cubic inch/5.0 liter engine is used for this car.

Thanks to extensive modifications, a maximum output of 444 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque is evenly distributed to all revs. A six speed manual transmission and an optional Torsen limited slip differential are incorporated to transmit all those power to the rear wheels. Adjustable struts and shock absorbers provide sharper, track-ready handling. And unique 19 inch wheels provide superior grip.

The 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 is a proper salute to the Mustang’s colorful past. Equally adept to both road and track, the boss is back.
