Set off into a new, even more digital and efficient world and welcome home: the newC-Class stands for both, creating a future-proof comfort zone in all dimensions in times of global upheaval. The new C-Class is the first classic model series from Mercedes-Benz to be electrified throughout, thanks to mild hybrids with 48-volt technology and integrated starter-generator as well as plug-in hybrids. Thanks to a highly efficient battery system, it achieves an electric range of around 100 kilometers (WLTP) as a plug-in hybrid. This is unprecedented in this class. At the same time, it sets standards in sustainability. And because the C-Class is one of the company's highest-volume model series, this consistent electrification has a correspondingly large impact on the CO2 footprint. Technical refinements also include special equipment such as DIGITAL LIGHT and rear-axle steering. The sedan and estate will premiere together, can be ordered from March 30 and will arrive at sales partners in summer 2021.

The technological progress in the area of aerodynamics is particularly apparent. It is the first time that a suspended rear wing has been fitted on a Porsche series production car. Its swan-neck mounting is used in a similar form in the GT racing car 911 RSR and the one-make cup racing car 911 GT3 Cup. Since two aluminium brackets now hold the wing element from above, the airflow can pass undisturbed across the underside, which is aerodynamically more sensitive. This new design led to a reduction in the flow losses and not only increased the downforce, but also resulted in well-balanced negative lift conditions together with many other detailed measures. “We developed the aerodynamics of the new 911 GT3 in around 700 simulations. We spent more than 160 hours fine-tuning the car in the wind tunnel,” explains aerodynamics engineer Mathias Roll.
DS Automobiles continue sa croissance. Après DS 7 CROSSBACK, DS 3 CROSSBACK et DS 9, DS 4 constitue le quatrième modèle de la gamme et introduit une nouvelle génération de créations d’avant-garde. Au cœur d’un segment C-Premium toujours aussi stratégique, DS 4 innove et crée une silhouette inédite, déclinée en trois versions : DS 4, DS 4 CROSS et DS 4 PERFORMANCE LINE. DS 4 se distingue par un design charismatique porté par un savoir-faire inégalé et une technologie avancée.
