As promised, Mercedes-Benz trotted its hydrogen fuel cell-powered F-Cell in front of the crowds at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and we were on hand to snap off a series of images.

Among the more intricate of Brabus’ creations is this, the E V12 “Black Baron.” Based on the latest E-Class, the dark lord is refitted with a twin turbo, 6.3-liter V12 with 800 hp and an electronically-limited 811 lb-ft (even though the engine actually produces 1,047 lb-ft), a ram-air...

Although the Frankfurt Motor Show is still a month away, images of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate (”wagon” to us ‘Mericans) have leaked out ahead of its official reveal in Germany. The E-Class Estate joins the thoroughly revised sedan and coupe variants of Merc’s mid-sizer...

What, again? We know, we know…it seems like Mercedes has been unveiling its flagship sedan for eons already. The updated S-Class first appeared back in April, then the pair of AMG versions leaked out on the web before they were given their official debut at the Shanghai Motor Show. But for some...
