The Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212) non-facelift model is regarded by many as being a more worthy successor to the 1980's AMG Hammer than the current, facelifted version, despite having less horsepower and torque.
The reason for that is, of course, represented by the glorious M156 engine. Designed completely from scratch by the AMG engineers in Affalterbach, the 6.2-liter normally aspirated V8 is one of the last true muscle V8s that don't really care that much about CO2 emissions, doing their best in providing a more visceral sound and better revving characteristics. All of that without compromising its torque curve, like other N/A powertrains from competing designs.
The E 63 AMG version had 525 hp and 630 Nm (465 lb ft), but its most important characteristic was probably the throttle response and the fabulous, eargasmic sounds it produced via the four-exit exhaust system.
Unfortunately, we can't hear the example featured here, but we can sure get some eye-candy from the car's clean looks.
Sporting a set of matte black Vossen VVS CV7 light-alloy wheels, a white exterior paint and all the chrome bits blacked out, the E 63 AMG above (and bellow) is like a bouncer in a tuxedo. We're not too sure about the blacked out taillights, but the overall look is so understated it's beyond cool.
