We here at Mercedes-Benz of Fort Wayne know that our favorite German automaker has been around for some time. Sixty years, in fact! But would someone who's just seeing the new Mercedes-Benz lineup for the first time know that? We're guessing they wouldn't.

After all, models like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, and Mercedes-Benz M-Class feature an incredible array of leading-edge tech, sleek designs, and luxurious comforts. Another great example of this? That would be none other than the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS, which recently debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show.

It features a body that's built almost entirely from lightweight aluminum. This results in the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS being almost 300 pounds lighter than the current model. And we all know what an overall lighter vehicle translates into: Performance and efficiency. Who said that the two can't go hand-in-hand again?

Another efficient upgrade that the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS will feature is a new set of wiper blades. They stream wiper fluid from the blades themselves, rather than spraying it from the hood, in order to use less spray. A great move if you ask us.

As for the rest of the vehicle? Well its new twin-turbo direct-injection 4.7-liter V8 more than speaks for itself. And it does so to the tune of 429 horsepower. In other words, if performance was a concern, then worry no more!

Of course, we realize that some of you out there may be in the mood to finance or lease a Mercedes-Benz of a different variety. And to that we say, simply contact us online or by phone at (877) 464-8191 to arrange a test drive.
