Mercedes prepara cupê do Classe M para rivalizar com BMW X6

Modelo estaria pronto para produção nos EUA em 2015

A Mercedes-Benz está planejando uma nova versão com carroceria cupê do utilitário- esportivo Classe M para rivalizar com o BMW X6, uma variante cupê do SUV X5, nos Estados Unidos.

De acordo com informações do site Auto News, o modelo, conhecido pelo código C166, poderia se chamar MLC e seria produzido na planta de Tuscaloosa, no Alabama, onde o ML já é feito.

Na última semana, o grupo Daimler anunciou investimento de US$ 2 bilhões de dólares na fábrica do Alabama, que, além do ML, produz os modelos Classe R e GL.

O novo modelo da Mercedes já estaria pronto para a produção em 2015. Atualmente, a planta de Tuscaloosa tem capacidade para fabricar 160.000 unidades por ano.

BMW Motorrad Days Fashion Shoot - Anna Featured

Model and marketing management student Anna has been chosen to be featured in two BMW Motorrad Days-themed photo-shoots. The 24-year-old German is not interested in cars and chooses to have only a motorcycle license. Anna first participated in a test shoot with her favorite motorcycle – the BMW S1000RR – and was then chosen to be ‘the face’ of the upcoming 2011 BMW Motorrad Days merchandising campaign. Along the way, the 5’11″ (1.80m) beauty, who has been riding a variety of sports bikes since 2007 (including a Ducati 916 SPS and a Suzuki GSX-R750) will be joined by male model Alex, also on an S1000RR as well – for the journey to the scenic alpine resort where over 30,000 motorcyclists will meet on the first weekend in July for three days of partying, BMW Motorrad-style.

motorsport modification | motorcycle news update | new motor bikes |BMW Tries Subliminal Advertising Experiment for the BMW S 1000 RR

With the occasion of promoting the BMW S1000 RR sport bike, the manufacturer decided to try something different than the usual commercial, especially considering how technology has evolved. For this reason, the Serviceplan company was chosen to add some subliminal advertising to the clip. See bellow the explanation and full ad.

BMW S 1000 RR

The Munich-based company used what’s known as an after-image to print the BMW logo on the eyes of the audience that attended the experiment but the logo wasn’t visible on the screen and couldn’t be seen until Ruben Xaus, the star of the clip, gave the magic command “Close your eyes”. When the members of the audience closed their eyes, the logo instantly appeared to everyone’s amazement.
A lot of positive feedback was provided at the end of the screening and this may be an interesting way of promoting something without actually showing any logos. It will be interesting to see if BMW will integrate this in further screenings.
See bellow the same ad, but bear in mind the fact that it was screened in a cinema so you may not experience the same effect as those who whitnessed it firsthand.
