Merc in Transporter 3?

Was that car chasing the S8 an E63 AMG or a standard E-63? My buddy sent me the YouTube link. I can't tell.

An E63 is an AMG...

Anyway, no dual exhaust.. Definitely not an E63...

i was wondering the same thing the first time i saw the movie, you've got not even a 500 or a 550 E klass running along with a w12. and i bet that they shaved the badges off the E because it was most likely a 320 or 300, what ever they have in europe these days. Most likely a dessel, that's the only way a non V8 could have smoked the tires like that.

The S8 is an A8 W12... The Benzo is probably a E320...

It looks like E320 or E200. Few countries has E200 which that kind of rims.
And what ? E63 ? Its so not AMG at all.

I would like to point out that the movie itself would like to say it was an Audi S8, but that in fact uses a 5.2L V10. On the bridge, there is a certain shot, when they are on the bridge, surrounded, just before the girl gets out, where it is looking at the front right quarter panel of the Audi, and a clearly seen W12 is showing. Which was only on the A8. Not the S8. So they totally lied about all the cars used in the movie, essentially.

It's now about the car. It's about the driver. If they put in a E63 than the cars would be a match and the driver wouldn't have to do much! But he is so good that he pulls all this in a ****ty Merc.

Obviously I don't care, I just wanted to know what merc. This came up. And I saw that the info of the cars was wrong. If it's impeding your ability to function in life that I posted something, I'm sorry. But again. I don't care.

The Mercedes is a diesel. The Audi is A8 W12. Both cars were prepared and tuned by ABT.
Hope this helps!

You definitely care or you wouldn't have been searching ancient posts in the first place, let alone responding. Just own it bro.
You so care.

The A8 W12 used in the movie is actually pretty quick, they're really smooth too.

By the way the Mercedes was actually an E65 AMG Black Series 4matic CDI, they're pretty rare.
