If last week’s photos of the week were about pure badassery and brute force, then this week’s turns them on their head. This set of shots includes a very elegant, peaceful, almost serene looking E-Class Coupe belonging to member “Car_Guy” … outside of the forums, he’s called Tad Orlowski.
Brabus is like that father you see in movies that is never satisfied with with his son’s accomplishments. Mercedes-Benz plays the part of the hapless adopted child. “Look! I made the new E63 AMG. It cranks out 550 horsepower in regular trim and 577 in S-Model spec.” Without looking up from its newspaper, Brabus responds with, “Heh, it could make more.”
Going out on a low note isn’t such a bad thing. Especially when that note is as low and sonorous as that played by the hand-built V8 of the Mercedes-Benz AMG 6.3 vehicles. Yes, 2014 is the end of an era. The 6.2-liter M156 and M159 units will soon go the way of the dodo, but don’t worry; twin-turbo 5.5L engines have started taking their spots, and the similarly blown 4.0L mill for the next-generation C63 should prove to be a worthy successor. Perhaps in the future those eight-bangers will make a list as revered as the one after the jump.

God, you’ve got to love AMG. For all the lunatics that take their $100,000 super sedan to the arena of the drag strip, I commend you. It’s a little bit like a professional boxer showing up to your friendly, local, underground fight club (where everyone else is juiced on steroids). I can’t say it’s in […] More »
So you’ve got $68,225 set aside to buy you years of top-down motoring. But you don’t want to test-drive a convertible in these frigid winter temperatures. Lucky for you, the crew at Autoblog braved the elements to evaluate the Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet. Autoblog has even saved you trouble of deciding which color to pick. The […] More »
“This is one of the best cars that you can buy, period.” Bold words from James Riswick of Edmunds to make as he provides a quick drive breakdown of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan. In his review, James covers tech-features, a breakdown of the different engine options, and the driving dynamics of the beloved mid-size […] More »
