Mercedes AMG 'C' Class 63
A notably 6.2l V8 engine.
I would very much like to have my hand on one, not because I have anything up against BMW (they are fine 'creature', really.) as it was the solution to BMW's M3.
But of it's awesome value to usability ratio.
Beside that those were hand-made German parts tolled in there.
A "AMG" which in layman terms, "A MASSIVE GENERATOR" pushing the car at 450 bhp and at over 8000rpm.
Safely insane? No way. Theres more.
M3 has the "i-drive" system to keep things in check and C63... has more. Ergo, extensive, sophisticated @ one simple command from your finger.
How nice?
The "M" differentiation technology was challenged with the C63 variation. It does have some "discomforting" moment with the C63 but when the "traction" is off, it turns murderous. Riding in it will demand you to whip it like a cowboy and charm it like a hunk. This beauty is no where near easy-talk to sooth it down.
The downs?
Not practical in S'pore.
And?
costly to even think about
definitely not one that will stay with me for long.
:)
anyway, sounds so good so far?
Unbelievable?
Quotes from Jeremy Clarkson, within a timeframe of 1min(approx) in the car.
"it's not a car, it's a complete ANIMAL!"
"You don't really drive this car, you cling on to your life!"
"M3 have a top notch conventional weapon under the bonnet. But this has a nuke."
"This is just an ex-murderer with headlights."
What to say? I'm just a Merc fan over BMW.
But then, I need to deal with a pair of running shoes first.
Shimack!
