First up is the super-luxurious and stunning Maybach S 650 Cabriolet. A vehicle for the richest of the rich, who want only the absolute best Mercedes-Benz has to offer.

This luxury cabriolet is exactly that. Not only will you experience the joy of a drop-top in sunny weather, but you get the performance you would expect in the form of a 6.0-liter V12 powerhouse pumping out 621-hp.

Next up on the docket is the svelte-yet-muscular AMG GT C Roadster. Mercedes essentially took a traditional coupe and reigned in their heritage to blend the old with the new. With the roof up, the Roadster has the classic proportions of drop-top Benzos from yesteryear. With the top down and stored, it becomes a convertible that challenges you to push the gas pedal and feel the wind in your hair.

Under the hood is a twin-turbo V8 that will pump out 550 horsepower and surely get your blood boiling. While this aggressive coupe might have the pedigree to tear around a track, its primary function is to remain a grand tourer.

Lastly, we have the family sedan that will make your children cry if they get out of line. A sedan so vicious it will turn any backseat sibling rivalry into a Six Flags roller coaster at the press of the pedal. This is the AMG E63 S Edition 1.

From a glance, the AMG E63 S Edition 1 features a stealthy paint scheme dubbed Designo Night Black Magno. It rides on matte-black 20-inch wheels and MB’s gloss-black Night Package.

Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine delivering an impressive 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. All that power is sent to the earth via an all-wheel drive system and a 9-speed dual-clutch AMG Speedshift transmission. This brutal beauty will hit 60 mph in a child-silencing 3.3 seconds, but is limited to a top speed of 186 mph.
