Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Front Side 1:18 Maisto Diecast

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Front with Doors Open at 1:18 Maisto Diecast

The guys at Maisto Toys sent me this present the other day that I wanted to share with you guys. It is from the Premiere Edition 1:18 diecasts which you can find online. I cannot even show you the box because I ripped it open so fast and promptly placed it to my desk instead of in my diecast car collection. The silver SLR McLaren has a hood and trunk that open and really is quite an amazing replica of the real car. The under hood work is fantastic and detailed showing the Mercedes 5.4L supercharged V8 engine. Add these 1:18 diecasts from Maisto Toys to your wish list!

This car is currently sitting at Heritage Classics in West Hollywood, California waiting for a new owner. As listed above, it is a 1959 190SL with a red exterior and tan leather interior. The car comes with a black soft top that should be left down at all times when cruising around California. 90,000 on the odometer and it looks like this thing has been completely restored. They are asking $59,500 for it right now.

We tackled the third leg of the Targa Rally today which took everyone from Los Angeles to Santa Barbra. A great pack of cars and a timed/mile route lead to a great event. Sadly, our car broke down at the 50 mile mark of a 400 mile day trip like our Gumball 3000 trip earlier this year. We crammed our video guy in another car so he could Targa Scum it and produce us some great video. Our photographer stayed with me at Mt. Frazier as we waited 4 hours for Cadillac to come rescue us and get us in a loaner. It was of course an adventure so check out our trip inside.

I found these troublesome classic Mercedes browsing the Internet today which are being sold and marketed as a pair. The listing website says they are looking to grab a $1.3 million dollar cashier’s check for this pair of German ladies.

It says the cars only have around 500 miles each since complete restoration of the vehicles. With the new Mercedes being leaked it’s nice to see it’s grandfather in the Mercedes family in such nice condition. It’s time to let the pictures do the talking in this post. If your interested in purchasing these twins you can follow the link to their official website at the bottom.

There is no need to adjust your monitor color settings…you are looking at a Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG black in orange. This is by far the most loud and dare I say best looking I have ever seen an AMG Black series. According to the Flickr account where I found the product the car is sitting at the AMG Headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany.

It’s not often you can find a JDM tuner for the Mercedes Benz. The Japanese manage to do European styling in this over the top manner. Ben Schaffer posted this on his blog and I cannot stop admiring this CL550. On top of the VITT widebody kit and wheels the Japanese company makes other parts for the Mercedes Benz. The company has grills, brake kits, and exhausts for Merecedes tuners looking for a JDM touch.

Normally I never encourage anyone (including myself) to take Jeremy Clarkson seriously but his new review of the SL65 AMG black really caught my attention. The most uncomfortable car he has ever sat in which he compared to a pile of rocks. A 5 speed transmission and no electronic suspension all comes with a $299,999 price tag from Mercedes. While the SLR has a MSRP of $495,000 it is not a far comparision to the AMG black test they conducted. Watch the video for yourself and let us know what you think, was the review fair?
