I love the concept the hellcats employ... A red and black key

One unleashes the beast... The other a dialed back version

Also love the valet camera in the z06....

2015 AMG E63S 212
Old and fast

I am 69 and just got my first E63. My senility exists only to lack of memory of what the speed limit is. If I have to get to a rest room, this is the answer. I have to admit, I have to spend time on the various combinations of controls, which I could never master in a short term rental. Good luck.

Its a good concept but thats it. One key is 707HP, the other key is 500 something HP. So whats the point? Give the Black key to the kid or wife and they still have more power than 95% of the cars out there and plenty enough to kill themselves.

One key should be like 300HP, the other should be full power.

Well....I was older than his dad then, and I'm still here. Remember 80 is the new 60.

As long as he doesn't have ED, he will be fine and even if he does, E63 will fix that too
