Watch pro mountain bikers and best mates Kelly McGarry and Jeremy Lyttle have the downhill ride of their lives in the Himalayas from 18,380 feet. Best known for his breath-taking downhill footage escalating in a flip over a 72-foot-long canyon gap at Red Bull Rampage 2013, Kelly McGarry does not shy away from extremes. So with the M-Class we took him and fellow rider Jeremy Lyttle to the highest and most remote place they have ever been to: Khardung La – the supposedly highest vehicle-accessible mountain pass in the world at 18,380 feet (5,602 m) and let them have the downhill ride of their lives.

Only a G-Class can be better than a G-Class. This is the credo followed by the developers of Mercedes-Benz and they present the new-series show car G 500 4×4².

As a model brother of the G 63 AMG 6×6 the new “G” blends all the advantages of the model series with a considerably increased performance. The engine compartment houses a completely new V8 engine with a displacement of four litres, direct injection and biturbocharging. Next toV8 power there is a newly-developed variable chassis , which offers a perfect symbiosis of sporty dynamism and relaxed comfort on the road and off it. The new G 500 4×4² always reaches the highest offroad performance, thanks to the permanent four-wheel drive and the proven portal axles.

Dennis Roady Deeds conducted a social experiment in downtown Cincinnati, taking a Mercedes McLaren on the streets and asking people for spare change. Once they hand over the money, Dennnis hops in his super car, their reactions are priceless.

We have eight plus minutes of crash footage of overzealous drivers that find their unexpected oversteer isn’t so pretty when you’re faced with a wall of cold, hard Armco. It’s even uglier when your pride and joy gets mangled as a result.

It’s the end of the year and there’s no better way to count down to the New Year then to take a look back at some of the best automotive videos of the year. The first one, “The Ghost Car”. It appears that Russia now has ghost cars – four-wheeled poltergeists that come out of nowhere to cut off cars and cause them to crash.

We’ve looked at the clip at every speed and can’t come up with an answer to where the car came from. Watch for yourself and see if you can figure it out – if you do, email us or post to facebook and let us know.

A 2014 470 Horsepower Tesla Model S P85 takes on a 2014 Mercedes G63 AMG in a 1/4 mile drag race. The Tesla 85 kWh electric engine makes 470 Horsepower and uses no fuel, whereas the G63 makes 536 horsepower and gets 13 miles per gallon.

While some of you may think that you’ve mastered the art of race car driving thanks to the endless hours you’ve put in behind your PS4 and XBox 1 controller, you may want to watch the video of those that thought the very same thing and rethink your driving prowess.

Before you send your email alerting us to the fact that this is a Lincoln commercial and not a Mercedes-Benz commercial, we know.  But for those of us who aren’t avid SNL watchers, you likely missed the skit and it’s a skit worth watching.

Matthew McConaughey (Jim Carrey) ponders the important questions in life and takes Allstate spokesman Dennis Haysbert (Kenan Thompson) for a ride in a new set of commercials.

Mercedes-AMG has combined with some of New Zealand’s finest professional ski and snowboard athletes to create a stunning and exhilarating new video. Filmed at the Snow Farm in Cardrona, on New Zealand’s south island, the video fuses the dynamic, high-performance of AMG, with the extreme capabilities of professional winter sport.

C 63 AMG ‘”Edition 507″ Coupé: Fuel consumption combined: 12.0 l/100 km;
combined CO₂ emissions: 280 g/km.*

G 63 AMG: Fuel consumption combined: 13.8 l/100 km;
combined CO₂ emissions: 322 g/km.*

SL 63 AMG: Fuel consumption combined: 9.9 l/100 km;
combined CO₂ emissions: 231 g/km.*

When it came to building the all-new C-Class, Mercedes-Benz didn’t do anything halfway. It is, quite simply, the lightest, smartest, quietest, sleekest, sexiest, safest, quickest C-Class ever built. Nothing would stand in their way.

On this episode of Head 2 Head from the Motor Trend Channel, Jonny Lieberman sets out to discover which German hot-rod-personal-luxury-coupe is the best you can get. The 507 Coupe is the last iteration of the W204 C63. With the exception of the very limited-run Black Series, it’s the best C63 that AMG has ever done. Under its hood sits a hand-built, 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 good for 507 horsepower. What more do you want? Perhaps something more high-tech, and that’s where the Audi RS5 comes in. The sexy coupe from Quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm features a 4.2-liter V-8 that spits out 450 hp. That¹s less power than the 507 Coupe makes, true, but the Audi also features AWD, a dual-clutch transmission, bigger wheels and tires, plus a trick torque-vectoring rear differential. Which one is quicker? Which one is more fun to drive? Which one is best? Watch and find out!

Ever wonder how the high quality of an AMG is achieved? View a maybe-not-so-accurate look behind the scenes of two of the AMG development engineers, to see how they go about researching the do’s and don’ts of unbelievable power for the all-new AMG GT.
