Mercedes offers dealers $3,000 off every electric car sold, here’s what buyers get
The current Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 is available now with $7,500 in lease bonus cash and $15,000 in incentives go through Brad Anderson 12 hours ago Mercedes-Benz dealers in the United States can receive incentives of up to $3,000 for each 2024 electric vehicle sold.

Widebody Mercedes SLR McLaren Speedster Out-Crazies Mansory
This range-topping SLR McLaren appears to draw inspiration from the AMG GT-based Speedlegend go through Brad Anderson November 8, 2024 14:10 The wild Speedster version of the SLR McLaren is 10 inches wider than the regular version. Some of the car's crazy aero parts are ripped straight from the early 2000s. A few years ago, John Sarkisyan from the little-known tuning brand S Klub launched a custom widebody Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster. He has since overhauled several other classic Mercedes, Ferrari and Porsche models, and unveiled the Là SLR at this year's SEMA show. It's a wild take on the iconic Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, which makes Mansory's SLR "Renovatio" look conservative in comparison. A 30-piece body kit was developed for the German supercar. The kit includes flared front and rear wheel arches, widening them by 10 inches, and while we don't mind the new arches, some of the other changes are more questionable.
