Both the following Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG Wagon (S212) and G 63 AMG are sporting 5.5-liter V8 engines that each deliver over 500 hp, but that is pretty much where the similarities end. At first glance, that is.
Sure, both are using a version of the M157 engine, a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter powerhouse that delivers 525 hp and 700 Nm (516 lb ft) of torque in the E 63 AMG S212 pre-facelift and 536 hp and 760 Nm (561 lb ft) of torque in the G 63 AMG (W463).

In theory, the power of the two AMG monsters is closely matched, but the G-Wagen's 0.56 drag coefficient is no match for the E 63 AMG's Cd of under 0.30, also keeping in mind that the venerable uber-off-roader weighs almost 750 kg (1653 pounds) more than the sports wagon on the left.

Yet another amazing difference, apart form the ones mentioned above, is the fact that each of them is sporting an antithetic color that works best only if they are parked next to each other.

We suspect that they belong to the same owner or maybe a couple or a pair of siblings, who may or may not be fans of the blue-and-gold Macaw, a South American parrot that is well known for its ability to impersonate human voices and various sounds.

The photos bellow were snapped by AutoGespot user and car spotter Amin in a parking lot somewhere in Mannheim, Germany, and it's pretty obvious for us that if either the G 63 AMG or the E 63 AMG had been caught individually, the effect wouldn't have been so amazing.
