A year and a half ago, we touched on an important topic concerning Mercedes-Benz and the Beastie Boys. We hypothesized that the Beastie Boys MAY be time travelers and definitely ARE Mercedes-Benz fans. We presented more than enough evidence to support our claims and although much of this was fun and games with no direction or conviction, new information has come to light that may affect all of us.

The first of three more Fast And Furious movies is now here in trailer form and it looks like Mercedes-Benz may have a couple surprises for us. Mercedes-Benz is always pretty good at sneaking its new cars onto the big screen. Take, for example the GLE Coupe in Jurassic World or the Mercedes-AMG GT R playing the role of Drift in Transformers 5: The Last Knight.

In 2016, Mercedes-Benz started with just two versions of the GT, the Mercedes-AMG GT and the Mercedes-AMG GT S. Since the initial release, the number of available GT variants has jumped all the way to 5, or 6 if you include the not-for-sale GT3 Formula One Race Car. Now, we are smart enough to know that Mercedes-Benz is never done, but especially after the introduction of the GT C Roadster, we are not expecting a 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster. From what we can tell, these are rumors, massaged by Mercedes-Benz executives to test the popularity of the idea.

The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT3 is one of the most exciting introductions of the year for the racing community. Much like other GT3 racecars from other companies, it was not expected to race in the United States, leaving us all wondering where to watch the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT3 race around a track. This, as it turns out, is not the case! The 2018 Mercedes-AMG is now scheduled to race in the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, which is the premier endurance racing series in North America. To watch the Mercedes-AMG GT3 in action, find the races on television, taking place between January and October of 2017. The first race will be the Rolex24 at Daytona on January 26th.

Mercedes-Benz offers a wide range of vehicles in the United States. Unfortunately, the A-Class has never been one of them. Sold in Europe, Australia, Africa, basically everywhere except North America, the A-Class has become an icon for its high performance and low price tag combination. Why then, is it not available in the United States? Here are the specifications we could expect from a 2017 Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Hatchback if it were to come to the new world.
