CAR TRIVIA - Most Expensive Production Car
When we think of expensive cars, names like Bentley and Rolls Royce come to mind. But you could buy more than 20 Bentleys for the price of the world’s most expensive automobile. The Lamborghini Veneno (Italian for “venom”) is a limited edition supercar that boasts staggering power—its 740 horsepower engine can produce a top speed of 355 kph (220.5 mph). According to the manufacturer, this lowslung beast can accelerate to 100 kph (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds.
But as we mentioned earlier, the privilege of owning the Veneno comes with a shocking price tag—the roadster goes for an astonishing $4.5 million. Of course, the Veneno is more about making a splash than making a profit. Lamborghini is only producing nine of the cars, which are sure to be squabbled over by all manner of oil-rich sheiks and tycoons of industry, the only kind of folks with pockets deep enough to afford them.

Feb Behind the Wheel: As I’m shoveling my driveway and sidewalk, I’m thinking when will it be Spring? I’m so looking forward to warm weather. The Fort has been selected for restaurant week and the date is February 27th. Our March social is at Benihana’s on the 16th and we are working on a mystery dinner in May, more information will be coming on that event. I look forward to seeing all of you at events or socials this year. Happy Valentine’s Day --Bob

INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
Class-leading efficiency.
While they're not the first gasoline-electric
hybrids on the market, the S400 HYBRID and
new E400 HYBRID lead the way with a number
of breakthroughs. Mercedes-Benz was first to
market with a Lithium-Ion battery, a more
efficient approach to electric power. The S400
HYBRID also the first with immediate payback
compared to its gas-only counterpart, because
it's actually priced below a similarly equipped
S550 Sedan.

HOW HYBRIDS WORK
Advanced gasoline power with an electric boost
Two of the world's most fuel-efficient gasoline-
engine luxury sedans each combine an efficient,
ultralow-emission V-6 with an advanced battery-
electric drive assist. Depending on the
circumstances, the S400 HYBRID can use both
power sources in varying proportions to
maximize performance, efficiency and cleaner
emissions. The new E400 HYBRID can even travel
short distances on electricity alone. Further,
both vehicles recover energy during braking to
recharge their battery and assist in slowing the
car. The result is stirring acceleration with
stunning fuel economy.

NO COMPROMISES
Compact-car efficiency
Luxury-sedan power and safety
With their remarkable fuel efficiency and
Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle
certification, the E400 HYBRID and S400
HYBRID outperform many smaller cars in a
number of dimensions. But in the virtues that
define an Mercedes-Benz from safety to
luxury, they measure up in every way.
Further, their impactful fuel and emissions
innovations come with a few other surprising
environmental benefits.
A Mercedes-Benz by every measure
The luxury of luxury
With their compact, lightweight design and
quiet, seamless operation, a Mercedes-Benz
HYBRID's unique drive system has no effect
on luggage space, interior room, vehicle
payload or the abundant features that define
their luxury experience, not to mention their
rewarding performance.
The value of value
Unlike most every other hybrid vehicle, the
S400 HYBRID is priced lower than its gasoline
counterpart, the S550 Sedan. So you'll never
need to calculate if your driving style makes a
price premium worthwhile. The payoff starts
with the first fill-up.
The leader in safety
In addition to their many groundbreaking and
exclusive driving safety innovations, the
Mercedes-Benz HYBRIDs feature their own "7-
stage safety concept." Clear labeling and color-
coding of components, along with special
connectors and insulation, help assure proper
service and maintenance. Extensive protective
measures for the Lithium-Ion battery help guard
it from jolts, knocks and heat, in everyday use or
in a collision. Continual self-monitoring, multiple
failsafe measures, plus active discharging of the
high-voltage system as soon as the key is turned
off, or in a collision, further add to operating
safety.
The circle of life
Beyond its benefits on the road, the full lifecycle
of the HYBRID system is designed to minimize its
environmental impact. That includes the
production of the vehicle, nearly 200,000 miles
of use, and its eventual recycling and disposal.
The Lithium-Ion battery is designed to ease
recovery and recycling of 95% of its material
components. Like every Mercedes-Benz, it uses
an impressive amount of natural fibers and
recycled plastics. Over its lifespan, a Mercedes-
Benz HYBRID can reduce its CO2 emissions by
18% over a comparable gasoline model, about
1.5 times the annual CO2 footprint of a typical
adult.

both vehicles recover energy during
braking to recharge their battery and

2013 EPA estimated fuel economy
(city/highway) of 19/25 mpg for S400
HYBRID and 24/30 mpg for E400 HYBRID.
Compare the estimated mpg to the
estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may
get different mileage depending on how
fast you drive, weather conditions and
trip length. Your actual highway mileage
will probably be less than the highway
estimate.

Preserving the “Works of Man”
Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo
people who made it their home for over 700 years, from AD 600 to 1300. Today the park protects
nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the
most notable and best preserved in the United States.
