In part 1 of our week with the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe, we gave you all a look at the exterior of the newly designed beauty. We drove the C350 Coupe everywhere — work, play, errands and, yes, shopping. We can go to the mall anytime but we really wanted to see how the car would handle on a slightly longer distance and so we decided to take our first ever trip to Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets. It’s a short while outside of New York City and the drive is as relaxing as it is scenic. We won’t be disclosing what we bought but here’s how it all went down.

Lexus has unveiled the F Sport Package for the 2013 GS 350 ahead of its debut next week at the SEMA show. In the pack are 19-inch wheels, sport-tuned adaptive suspension, thicker anti-roll bars, new busing and bigger front brakes. Variable steering is also available for rear-drive models as well as a new driver’s seat. The aggressive aero kit really transforms the GS and takes things next level.

We recently teamed up with Two Inch Cuffs for this editorial. Much thanks to James Nord for his Photograpy and Direction, Ruben Hughes for his oversight and models Dylan Nord & Kathy Osborne for really bringing this project to life. For the complete spread, please head to Two Inch Cuffs.

Once called “the most beautiful car in the world” by none other than Enzo Ferrari, the 1964 Jaguar XK-E still exudes a timeless elegance that only a few cars of its generation can. The 60s wonder is currently one of six automobiles permanently on display at New York’s MoMA but don’t think that’s all it’s good for as there’s no doubt it is still capable of ripping the road as it tops off in the 160 mph range. The Two Inch Cuffs team had the opportunity to take this 1964 Jaguar XK-E around Ft. Lauderdale and there’s no doubt it turned heads and left many wishing to be in the driver’s seat. Amazing stills from the day can be found below.

The all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe hit showrooms earlier this month and before we even saw one on the road, the fine folks at Mercedes tossed us the keys to a C350 to check out as part of their C-Coupe Your Week campaign. This is a true two-door coupe, folks, and nothing like the C230 Sport Coupe of generations past. Not only does it take inspiration in the looks department from its older brethren, the C-Coupe also packs more power over its four-door siblings. The C350 Coupe features a new, direct-injected version of Mercedes’ 3.5-liter DOHC V6 and redlines at 6,750-rpm. The coupe packs 302 horses compared to 268 of the sedan and more torque as well. Normally you’d expect more power to equal less fuel efficiency but that is not the case here as C350 Coupe actually gets better highway mileage than the C-Class sedan.

Japan’s Wald International took the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and fine-tuned it to bring us the R230 Black Bison Edition. The aerodynamic body kit adds front sports fenders, a front bumper fascia, side skirts, a rear bumper fascia, and a trunk spoiler. The quarter panels feature an arch extension to accommodate the 20-inch Renovaito R12 wheels. The rear features twin exhaust pipes and a DTM sports muffler.

Look for R230 SL-Class SPORTS LINE at the SEMA showroom floor in November.

Is this the future of idea? We certainly hope so as the 2014 Audi e-tron Spyder is a gorgeous sports car with a few environmentally-friend enhancements to be quite the competitor in the coming years. Back in 2009, Audi unveiled a similar e-tron at the Frankfurt Motor Show, though that was based on an R8 and happened to be all-electric. This beauty is real-wheel drive instead of e-Quattro like that ’09 prototype and also features two electric motors and a V6 TDI to take things next level. The two electric motors on the forward axle are good for a total of 89 horsepower, and their juice gets combined with a rear-mounted, twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 TDI’s producing 296 hp, for a grand total during full boost mode of 385 hp.

Theoretically, this beauty could jump from 0 to 60 in approximately 4.2 seconds. This is still a show car and no real word on when/if production will take place and what the e-tron will look like at that time, but it looks amazing. We’re pretty sure that’s what Audi wanted to know. (via autoblog)

Though it’s been in the rumor mill for quite sometime now, Maserati has finally unveiled the Kubang, a concept SUV that may be a pre-cursor to what the Italian manufacturer’s first Sport Utility will look like. Maserati is looking to build the Kubang concept on the same Michigan assembly line as the Jeep Grand Cherokee but will leave the engine manufacturing to Italy’s Paolo Martinelli, who brings over thirty years of experience at Ferrari. The video below blends Maserati’s history with their future endeavor.

The folks at Gear Patrol turn us to the latest creation from Mercedes-Benz tuner Brabus, the Rocket 800. The German company’s rendition of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG utilizes the “standard” V12 from the current Benz E-Class and tacks on a twin turbocharger, beefing up the already ample 5.5 liter displacement to a gorging 6.3 liters. The end result is supercar with a 800 horsepower and 811 lb/ft of torque. That gives it a 0-62 mph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 230 mph. Suspension and brakes have been upgraded by Brabus to withstand the power. You won’t mistake this beauty for a base model CLS or the AMG as it’s gotten hints of carbon fiber throughout the exterior.

Good thing there’s no word on price. This way, you can admire the car what it is without adding it to the list of cars we can’t afford just yet.
