MERCEDES BENZ electric F-cell car

At January's Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz eagerly showed off its hydrogen-powered F-Cell car, vowing to prove the viability of fuel-cell vehicles by driving three of them around the world. And now, 18,641 total miles later, it's completed that circumnavigation, arriving safely home at the company's Stuttgart headquarters. Does this prove fuel-cells are ready for prime time? Well, the trip took 70 driving days to cover four continents, and the vehicles' range topped out at just over 400 miles -- in Kazahkstan. But M-B admits there are only 200 refilling stations worldwide; in most cases the F-Cells had to rely on a tag-along mobile refueling unit. The company hopes its demonstration will spur development in a refilling-station infrastructure: having a fuel-cell car you can't easily refuel must feel like owning a flying DeLorean in 1885. To get the full breakdown, see the Mercedes-Benz PR after the break.

BMW M5 makes record of fastest sedan

BMW M5 Unofficially Crowned Word’s Fastest Sedan With 7:55 Nurburgring Lap Time


With a BMW factory driver behind the wheel of BMW’s new M5, the luxury sedan has

reportedly turned in a lap time of 7:55 around the famed Nurburgring. This makes it the world’s

fastest sedan, ahead of Porsche‘s Panamera Turbo (7:56) and Cadillac‘s CTS-V (7:59), and puts

it on par of other supercars such as Ferrari’s F430 and is even one second quicker than

Porsche’s 996 Turbo. Powered by a 4.4L V8 twin turbo engine, this accomplishment proves

BMW’s M-models have hardly skipped a beat against the competition. It will be interesting to

see how BMW’s competitors respond with their next-generation sedans, but it clearly proves

that the Germany automaker’s devotion to twin turbo powerplants is paying off.

A word of caution; the time is in no way an official BMW number and we can’t verify the validity

of the source (FastestLaps.com). It’s almost not necessary, however, with the new M5 almost

certain to run a solid sub-eight minute lap around the Ring.
