Vanessa Hudgens Goes Out in a Mercedes E350

Hollywood stars tend to pick the most luxurious rides when it comes to going out with friends, so you shouldn't be too amazed if by mistake you see a Jeep covered in gold, a Rolls Royce full with diamonds or a Lamborghini that's shinier than the sun. Others however go the right way and pick a luxurious, stylish and elegant vehicle that's really making a good impression when seen on the streets.

This is the case of Vanessa Hudgens who has been recently spotted in Hollywood at the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz E350, a pretty fashionable vehicle that perfectly fits the image of a Hollywood diva.

Although we're not sure that Vanessa actually knows what German engineering really means, Mercedes is becoming a more popular brand among American stars. And the best of all is that Vanessa is actually driving the BlueTEC E350, which means it also pays a little attention to the environment and to the way the vehicle she drives interacts with the rest of the world.

The latest-generation E350 BlueTEC relies on a V6 powerplant that develops a maximum power of 211 hp and 540 Nm of torque at 2400 rpm. CO2 emissions have been dropped to 183 grams per kilometer, while performance figures are probably more than Vanessa would ever need in her life. The car has a maximum speed of 148.6 mph (239 km/h), while the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint is done in just 7.3 seconds.

Not sure if this is really important given the fact that we're talking about a Hollywood star for whom a fuel tank of gas is actually pocket change, but the E350 BlueTEC achieves 25 mpg (9.4 l/100km) city and 40.5 mpg (5.8 l/100mm) highway.
