Well, not in those exact words but Mercedes-Benz did launch a ChatGPT project within its Mercedes-Benz Cars Operations 360 (MO360) digital ecosystem that aims to maximise efficiency for global vehicle production, starting with the new Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA) platform that will underpin the next Mercedes-Benz CLA Class. It’s not surprising that carmakers are turning to AI to reduce redundancy and improve efficiency to maximise profits. On the Mercedes-Benz end, the ChatGPT project wil

We’ve covered the W176 Mercedes-Benz A-Class last week but for those who aren’t fans of hatchbacks, there is an alternative – a used first-generation (C117) Mercedes-Benz CLA.

The term was coined after Swedish car magazine Teknikens Varld flipped over a first-gen Mercedes-Benz A-Class in a test to measure the car’s ability to avoid hitting a moose, which is a common sight in Sweden.

Grand tourer or GT is a phrase to describe cars made for high speed cruising, combining performance and luxury. Traditionally, most GT cars are front-engined and are heavier, which blunts agility and nimbleness. This is where the 2019 McLaren GT pulls an advantage over traditional GT cars.
