Luxe of the Day: Mercedes Benz E63 AMG

Mercedes Benz E63 AMG
We welcomed a new member of the family last night when G Luxe crew member Drewsky brought home his new baby: a black on black 2008 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG. Most of you are familiar with the AMG badge, which is the high-performance division of Mercedes Benz. These are the fine folks that turn your Daddy's Mercedes into a sexy, asphalt-eating, street barracuda. Much of the current hype today is around the C63 AMG, which is the E-class' younger sibling. Drewsky decided to opt for the larger, and in my opinion, more pimp daddy E-class. Powered a naturally aspirated V8 engine which cranks out an impressive 507 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of tourque, which Mercedes claims has "enough force to put most production V-12s to shame", the E63 can haul from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. The exterior is classic AMG, with trim and accessories that give the car a much fore aggressive stance compared to its non-AMG brethren. Our favorite part of the car may well be the interior. Gorgeously appointed, you truly feel like you're sitting a luxury race car. This bad boy retails for $86,125 before any additional goodies. Learn more at MBUSA.com or find a dealer at Yahoo Autos. Congrats Drewsky!!!
