Welcome Back: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG

A very different approach...

The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, a muscle car disguised as a premium sedan made from Sindelfingen, Germany. Eh...Don't worry, I saw the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG in one episode of Top Gear alongside the 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro, as reviewed by Richard Hammond. Anyway, it may not be more of a muscle, it still acts like a muscle even though this has a 6.2L V8 engine mounted on it. When The Stig got his hands full on the E63 AMG, it lapped a 1:24.9 lap time at the Top Gear Test Track. It's a remarkable German muscle in disguise, faster than the Lotus Evora or a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Despite that this is the potent E63 AMG, it's still the W212 E-Class that I know. The kind of car you would want to get from Everest Hills to De La Salle Zobel, making it an epic long-distance cruiser. A grand touring premium sedan blessed with the technology it deserves. I was more than happy to take the wheel of the W212 E-Class, in E63 AMG guise, because the design was just elegant unlike any other. Like most AMG models in their 6.3 AMG designation offered on Forza 4, the E63 AMG do come with the SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed for faster shifts and with traction control off, I may as well smoke all day long. The E63 AMG though may not as been dynamic as the Cadillac CTS-V but its still a proper all-round German muscle that tears down corners like scissors. Some say that the CTS-V sedan is no match to the E63 AMG because by due consideration and some Motor Trend article, the E63 AMG trounced the CTS-V. Yes, the CTS-V sedan is better than the M5 in corners and quicker than the Jaguar XFR in a drag race but when the CTS-V faced against the E63 AMG, they were close. It maybe as expensive than the CTS-V sedan but we're calling it a winner to the E63 AMG because, well, let's be honest that the king of super sedans has been dethroned, for now....
