Mercedes-Benz says it will revolutionise luxury car dynamics with its seventh-generation S-Class, which will offer two different rear-wheel steering set-ups within a host of new chassis functions intended to make it the most agile, driver-focused luxury limousine. Planned to be unveiled in early September, prior to UK deliveries starting in early 2021, the new S-Class will be the first non-AMG Mercedes to offer four-wheel steering – a function already available on its Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series competitors. Of the trio, the BMW has always been notably the most driver-focused. While rival systems offer only a few degrees of rear-wheel steering angle, one of the set-ups developed for the new S-Class achieves up to 10deg – a figure usually seen only on large commercial vehicles. The move provides the new standard-wheelbase S-Class with a considerable 2.0-metre reduction in turning circle from the current model’s 10.2 metres, according to S-Class chief engineer Jürgen Weissinger. This compares with a 11.4-metre turning circle for the A8 when it’s fitted with its Dynamic All-Wheel Steering. Weissinger says the new system brings added agility in urban conditions as well as vital improvements in handling and stability at higher speeds. Autocar took a brief ride in the rear of a near-production prototype, and this confirmed the first claim, as the S-Class tackled tight spaces with all the ease and manoeuvrability of a much smaller car. The impression is of a much wieldier car than the current S-Class, having the ability to turn in to parking spaces and gaps in traffic without the need for any steering correction. “It’s a whole new world,” said Weissinger. “The turning circle is better than that of the A-Class. It really is a game-changer.” To steer its rear wheels, the S-Class uses electroactuated arms incorporated within a newly developed five-link rear suspension. As is usual with these systems, it steers in the opposite direction to the front wheels at low speeds and the same way (at up to about 1.7deg) at higher speeds. A second set-up, reserved for S-Class models with rear wheels a different size to the fronts, can achieve a more conventional angle of 5deg. Also new is a the latest development of Mercedes’ 4Matic four-wheel drive system, which features fully variable apportioning of drive, and a new active suspension system, E-ABC, which includes a curve function to counteract body roll through turns and better control pitch and dive under acceleration and braking. These advanced underpinnings will be offered alongside a newly developed Airmatic air suspension as standard. Now based on the second-generation version of Mercedes’ MRA platform, the S-Class will again offer three different wheelbases: standard, long and extended. Also like its predecessor, it will be sold in Benz, AMG, Maybach and Pullman forms. However, both the S-Class Coupé and S-Class Cabriolet won’t be replaced, victims of a range of cost-cutting measures initiated by new Mercedes chairman Ola Källenius. Autocar can confirm the standard-wheelbase S-Class has been extended by 71mm to 3106mm, while the long-wheelbase car has grown by 51mm to 3216mm, giving the new saloons larger cabins with greater accommodation. Weissinger (who also heads development of the upcoming electric EQS) claims a “nearto-60% aluminium content” in the body of the new S-Class makes it “considerably lighter” than the model it will replace. Also contributing to greater fuel efficiency is a series of aerodynamic developments, including the adoption of flush door handles, that are said to give the S-Class a class-leading drag coefficient of just 0.22Cd. Weissinger said: “When you develop a car that has traditionally been described as the best car in the world, you have to work on every small detail. There are improvements in every area of its design.” Mercedes is yet to announce the engines for the S-Class, but Autocar can confirm that it will receive both turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six and twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 petrol units in mild-hybrid form with a 48V integrated starter-motor. Also available from the start of UK sales will be a 2.9-litre in-line six-cylinder diesel engine. Weissinger revealed that new S-Class will continue to offer the 6.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V12 as well, albeit only in Maybach-badged models. The sole plug-in hybrid at first will be the S580e. This uses a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine in combination with a gearbox-mounted electric motor and the 31.2Wh lithium ion battery from the GLE 350de, giving it a claimed electric-only range of more than 62 miles. The exterior represents an evolution of today’s car, with new detailing, a bolder looking grille and horizontal tail-lights that, in a first for the S-Class, extend into the bootlid. The interior, meanwhile, has been heavily reworked, with an emphasis on a reduction of switchgear. The button count alone has been reduced by 27. Their functions have been moved to digital screens, of which there can be up to five: a instrument display and a portrait-orientated 12.8in touchscreen within the centre console are standard, while buyers can specify up to three touchscreens in the rear. Our first ride confirmed that Mercedes has once again set the standard in terms of technology. Of particular note is the new digital instrument display, which provides a full 3D experience without the driver needing to wear 3D glasses. Another key development is the new augmented-reality head-up display, which projects important information into the driver’s eyeline at a virtual distance of 10 metres ahead.

The driver is a 27-year-old man who reportedly had a verbal argument with the children before attacking them. Rabat – Police in Safi, a port city on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, opened an investigation on Saturday to determine a driver’s motive to intentionally run over children after an “accidental conflict.” The attack left one child dead, while four others were “slightly injured.” A graphic video documenting the incident shows the driver deliberately zigzagging his car along the road next to Safi’s beach to hit a group of children who were in the street and on the sidewalk. A child died under the car after the driver stopped his vehicle. A statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) said that prior to the incident, a group of minors were throwing water and eggs at each other near the beach in Safi, involuntarily hitting the driver. This led to a “verbal argument” between the driver and the children. Following the argument, the driver “quickly changed direction and intentionally attacked the minors, causing the death of one of them at the same location,” the DGSN reported. “Four others were transferred to a hospital for necessary treatment,” the statement added. The driver is a 27-year-old man. He is now in the custody of Safi police for further investigation to determine the circumstances of the case.

The seventh-generation 911 Turbo, driven here in S trim for the full 641bhp monty, moves Porsche’s famous export away from its recent roost as an ICBM-quick but more long-legged device and to somewhere sharper and considerably harder. Somewhere where its road-racer roots are once again threatening to break through; where its supercar-slaying credentials have, in the 45 years since the original 3.0-litre 930 Turbo was born, never felt so strong. Meanwhile, McLaren, with its new GT, has given us a machine that in the metal and on paper shrieks supercar but is really, according to CEO Mike Flewitt, “designed for distance” and “refines the notion of a grand tourer in a way that only a McLaren could”. Clearly there’s an element of convergence here. For prospective owners, the two cars – mighty mid-engined Mac and colossally boosted 911 – now cruise in the same airspace for the first time. To make matters all the more intriguing, only £7030 separates them. So which is the more rounded, which is sweeter to drive, and which one should you buy if you’re lucky enough to have £160,000 burning a hole in your Swiss bank account? Our day of finding out begins at McLaren’s service HQ, which is hidden away in Old Woking, just around the corner from the premises where the Porsche-engined Formula 1 cars were built in the early 1980s. It’s my first chance to see the GT up close. The ducktail is sensational, but the glossy new multi-spoke wheels – at 21in, the largest ever fitted to any McLaren – don’t confer much in the way of the marque’s hallmark function-over-form thinking and the high snout still looks awkward. The nose has been styled this way not only to give the car fuller and more traditional GT proportions but also to lay the groundwork for the 150-litre frunk and to lift the splitter higher than usual above the road. Approach angles aren’t something we often talk about with supercars, because they matter more to Land Rovers than Lamborghinis, but usability is central to the GT’s brief and McLaren is proud enough to put into writing the 10deg on offer. And you know what? It works. Over five days’ hard grind, not once will the car ground itself on speed bumps or the like, which is unheard of for mid-engined exotics. In fact, merely knowing that body won’t sickeningly connect with road relaxes you in town, and with the nose lift activated, the GT matches an E-Class for ride height. Is the basking-shark mug worth it? Hmm. I’m still not sure. Clearly this is a curious car, and the GT’s shaky start continues as we roll out of town with 170 miles ahead of us. Exmoor is the destination plugged into McLaren’s new infotainment system, for our rendezvous with Matt Saunders and a Porsche so pumped-up and vibrant you have to wonder whether it can already smell victory. Back inside the GT, it’s obvious what McLaren has tried to do, but if your corporate persona is one of austere motorsport-honed purity, upping the luxury quotient doesn’t always come naturally. The trio of textures for the beautifully machined gearshift paddles would look at home in an AMG Mercedes, but chintz seems so very out of place in a McLaren. It’s a similar story with the satin-effect plastic trim on the steering wheel and piano-black fascia of the central console housing the ‘Active’ dials that, as in every McLaren, switch up testosterone levels for chassis and powertrain. None of it works quite as well as intended. Neatly stitched leather and Alcantara abound and the knurled aluminium for the ventilation controls are convincing, but the vibe feels a touch inauthentic, which is about as un-McLaren as it gets. But how else, then, do you go about creating a McLaren GT? Not many manufacturers are so guilty of making incestuously close variations of essentially the same car as McLaren, and all the major ingredients are recognisable. At the heart of the GT, hidden beneath the new and impressively long storage compartment, sits the same 3994cc V8 found in the 720S, albeit fitted with smaller and more responsive turbochargers. In terms of power, it slots the car into the gap between the quickest Sports Series models and the Super Series 720S, and 612bhp to go with 465lb ft certainly sounds very serious for a supposedly more laid-back Mac. The seven-speed dual-clutch ’box we’re also familiar with, although McLaren decided not to fit its supple cross-linked hydraulic suspension from the 720S, opting instead for a retuned version of the more traditional set-up from the 570S. The anti-roll bars are at least bespoke to the GT and, instead of merely reacting to the road surface as it bubbles away beneath the car, when that surface demonstrably changes, the dampers make an assessment based on 10 metres or so of travel and adjust their broader characteristics accordingly. It is, McLaren says, predictive. Less predictable is what happens next in the context of this test, not least because I’ve warmed to the GT rather a lot over those 170 miles. Whisper it, but maybe an overall win now looks possible. The car is laughably good on the motorway, even though it wants to ghost up into triple-digit speeds constantly. At speed, the otherwise booming V8 drops to a simper and the cabin is then noticeably quieter than with other McLarens, thanks also to the suppression of wind and road roar. The body seems to slip through the air so deftly, despite the brutally sharp Tornado-style intakes looming in the wing mirrors, and while the new electric seats are mounted a touch high, they’re also voluptuous, soft and supportive. You then get all the benefits of the MonoCell II carbonfibre monocoque, which has been modified (and the exhaust system routed lower) to incorporate the 420-litre rear luggage bay. The tub’s immense rigidity allows for spring rates whose softness even the most synaptically challenged passenger couldn’t fail to appreciate. The low-cut scuttle and, on this car, integrated panoramic roof then flood the cabin with light, volume and feel-good factor. The effect may not be quite so pronounced as with the 600LT, but in the GT you really do feel perched on an arrowhead, with the road rapidly scrolling away below. I wonder why it has taken this long for someone to make an attempt at developing a genuine mid-engined GT. Done well, the layout clearly provides a sublime sense of motion and visibility. So I’m feeling fresh when I clap eyes on the 911 Turbo S that Saunders has driven to Exmoor. And, well, wow. It looks incredibly purposeful, and if the Mac’s exterior design is fussy in vaguely die-cast fashion, the 3.7-litre Porsche’s butch form is straight monolithic. Comfortably shorter than the GT, the 911 is only a touch narrower and then taller, but its shocked expression and the delirious curves of those rear arches, which sit almost horizontal at one point, mean it outguns the supercar for presence. How on earth did that happen? The hardware of the Turbo S is every bit as serious. While it lacks a carbonfibre tub and doublewishbone suspension, instead using MacPherson struts with a multi-link arrangement for the stocky rear axle, its wheel-and-tyre package is much more substantial, with 315-section rear rubber compared with the Mac’s 295-section Pirellis. It has thumping brakes (with 10-piston front calipers), four-wheel drive (with water now cooling the front diff and tougher clutches) and, in terms of brute force, it’s simply no contest. The McLaren’s 465lb ft output peaks satisfyingly high at 5500rpm, but the Turbo S is channelling 590lb ft at only 2500rpm through its reinforced PDK gearbox. Both, it must be said, are faster than you would ever need on road or track, but only one has shredded your mind before the crank has really got going. When it’s time to swap, the Porsche then wins a small but meaningful victory. Without the dihedral doors and chunky structural sills, it’s less awkward to slip into. Hardly the most exciting revelation, but one that matters for GT cars, as does the fact that, with rear-wheel steering, less metal between the axles and more lock on offer, the Porsche’s turning circle is also compact. Once inside, it’s then possible to set yourself lower than in the McLaren (again, who’d have thought?) and, as for the fittings, switchgear and displays, the German car also pulls off ‘functional luxury’ with more conviction. The GT still feels more special, but the Turbo S has an irresistible charm shared with basic 911s, which stems from the strangely upright windscreen and bubble-like glasshouse. This Porsche may pack active aero, seriously stiff suspension and performance that really can induce migraines, but it still greets you with a warm smile. And, perhaps, a deceptive smile. It doesn’t take long to realise that, in coldly objective terms, the Turbo S does something of a dynamic demolition job on the McLaren, leaving it feeling… old-fashioned. Given the magnificence of the 600LT, this isn’t the predicted outcome. But the GT’s electrohydraulic steering is both lighter and, despite possessing the same propensity to fidget, more heavily filtered than that of its close genetic relation. This is true to the extent that on Exmoor’s knobbled roads, the electromechanical set-up in the Porsche actually gives the driver fractionally more to chew on. At 1530kg, the McLaren is also some 110kg lighter than its foe but it somehow lacks the stunning alacrity of the 911 Turbo S. Maybe that’s just as well, because this new GT appears to pick up understeer earlier than any other McLaren. It’s not by any means a car that lacks grip when driven fluidly, but that glorious sense of the front axle being intricately and implacably welded to the road has left the room – and the 911, with its tight body control, has darted in and then darted off into the middle distance. At this point, I’ve love to tell you that, beyond its bewildering ability, the Porsche lacks soul and struggles to establish any real dialogue with the driver. But this simply isn’t true. The linearity, the reassuring heft yet surprising deftness of its responses and the tactility in its controls allow you to delve deep (inadvisably so) and uncover its playful side – the side that humours you with a cheeky quarter-turn of opposite lock; that begs you to flick it this way and that while keeping the throttle generously open; and that goads you to play chicken with physics on the brakes into tight corners. You have to be covering ground at an almost obscene lick to get this car working with maximum pliancy and panache, but do so and the new Porsche 911 Turbo S is brilliant, even if the Carrera 4S does much the same thing for a little over half the price (and, frankly, at only two-thirds of the required velocity). So where does this leave the GT? Beaten, certainly. And yet while it clearly isn’t of the same mesmeric calibre as other McLarens, it can still beguile. It may accelerate more slowly than the ballistic 911, but where its rival bludgeons its way forth, the mid-engined car feels less encumbered, more free-spirited and accumulates speed with silky abandon. Its V8 engine suffers more from the effects of turbo lag than the dry-sump flat six in the tail of the Porsche, but it’s also peakier and more exciting to spin out, as all 612bhp takes hold of that impressively low kerb weight. The seek-and-destroy Turbo S hunts flatly through corners but the Mac is prepared to lower its guard and flows with the kind of balanced elegance that architecturally compromised cars, even ones honed to an awe-inspiring degree over the course of 45 years, can’t match. Although susceptible to brittle outbursts on rougher surfaces (felt mainly through the steering, rather than your thighs), the McLaren is also without doubt the more serene cruiser, avoiding the Porsche’s busyness underwheel and its tiresomely booming back axle. In fact, if the McLaren disappoints, it isn’t because it is a dud. It’s because you would expect McLaren to crucify the mid-engined GT brief. Preserve the vivid steering and transparent handling, add some practicality but improve the already excellent road manners of the existing supercars. The GT possesses clever innovations that owners will appreciate, but unfortunately ride quality takes a mere half-step forward from the 570S, while involvement has goose-stepped back, leaving the car’s character feeling confused. It’s suboptimal, as Ron Dennis would say. As for the Porsche, there’s nothing confusing about this latest 911 Turbo. McLaren may have had an off day with the GT but, in dynamics terms, the red car has dispatched the black car with shocking efficiency. I’m glad to be heading back to London in the mid-engined Mac, which comfortably wins the long-distance battle, but even this can’t disguise the fact that, both day-to-day and on your favourite roads, the Porsche is the more appealing proposition. Never mind bugs: in 2020, the 911 Turbo S kills supercars fast.

According to the diplomat, Morocco-France relations can serve as a model for bilateral cooperation. Rabat – Thanks to their “exceptional relationship,” Morocco and France can “most certainly” jointly address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, said the Moroccan Ambassador to Paris, Chakib Benmoussa. In a video uploaded by the Moroccan Embassy in France, Benmoussa highlighted the importance of Morocco-France cooperation, notably during the COVID-19 crisis. The Moroccan diplomat made the comments in a speech on the occasion of the 2020 Throne Day, celebrated on Thursday, July 30. The celebration marks the 21st anniversary of King Mohammed VI’s ascension to the throne. According to Benmoussa, Morocco and France have had several opportunities to work jointly, including in the medical and economic fields. “Our shared memory, our peaceful common history, the density of our human relations and the convergence of interests promote the consolidation of this relationship between our two countries,” the diplomat said. “Our resilient relationship turns towards the future and is a source of inspiration for … cooperation and attachment to multilateralism, through subjects as crucial as security and counterterrorism, migration, and climate change,” he added. Benmoussa highlighted the “economic complementarity” between Morocco and France, which he said can make the two countries more competitive at the international level. Multidimensional relationship On the diplomatic level, Benmoussa recalled the regular contact between King Mohammed VI and President Emmanuel Macron. The regular exchange is a testament to the strength of the friendship between Paris and Rabat, as well as the two parties’ determination to further their cooperation to meet their common challenges, he said. The Moroccan ambassador also recalled the 14th Morocco-France High Level Meeting in December 2019 in Paris. The meeting between senior Moroccan and French officials served as an opportunity to discuss common opportunities and interests in the fields of security and business. Benmoussa paid tribute to the Moroccan community living in France, saying it is “deeply attached to both its country of origin and to its host country.” He noted that Moroccans in France greatly contribute to bettering relations between the two countries. At the end of his speech, the ambassador thanked French citizens living in Morocco who, “thanks to their dynamism, keep the Morocco-France relationship alive.”

The Mercedes-AMG E 53 performance saloon has been updated as part of the E-Class facelift Mercedes has unveiled an updated version of its entry-level AMG E 53 performance saloon, hot on the heels of the facelifted standard E-Class range. The brand’s updated rival for the Audi S6 is on sale in the UK now, with prices starting from £64,750 for the saloon and £66,750 for the estate. The updated AMG E 53 4MATIC+’s styling tweaks mirror those of the standard E-Class range, albeit with a more hardcore appearance. Up front, there’s a new radiator grille which mimics the design of the AMG GT Coupe’s – and at the rear, there’s an aggressive new diffuser which houses a quad-exit exhaust system. The E 53 is available in a choice of two trim levels. The base model features 19-inch twin-five-spoke AMG alloy wheels, a 360-degree parking camera, keyless go and AMG-branded brake calipers. Inside, buyers get a pair of leather-trimmed sports seats, carbon-fibre trim and Mercedes’s 12.3-inch dual-screen infotainment system. The E 53’s infotainment set-up also includes AMG-specific functions, such as a lap timer, telemetry settings and track mapping. There’s a new flat-bottomed steering wheel, which is similar in design to the rest of the range, but is fitted with a pair of AMG buttons to adjust the car’s driving modes. The more lavishly equipped AMG E 53 Night Edition Premium Plus is priced from £68,250 and adds a set of matte-black 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic glass sunroof, privacy glass, gloss-black window surrounds and an improved 13-speaker Burmester sound system. Both E53s are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine, which is supported by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Combined, the unit has an output of 423bhp and 520Nm of torque which, thanks in part to the car’s four-wheel drive system, is enough for a 0–62mph time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. Like all Mercedes-AMG models, the E 53 gets a host of extra chassis technology, including adaptive dampers, a sophisticated five-stage traction control system, uprated disc brakes, dynamic engine mounts and a limited-slip differential for the rear axle.
