Mercedes E63 Second Drive (5TH Gear)

- Massive performance and creamy-smooth power delivery.
- Rides very well for something so sporty.
- Does the best burnouts since the Great Fire of London.

Nice review. I don't think any standard AMG will be as nimble as an M car. Theres a different philosphy towards performance over there at AMG. The tracksport series...well maybe then they'll handle a bit more like the BM's.

Its a pleasent surprise that the ESP can be off 100%, thats more sporty and with a good driver the laptimes will be improved. Great decision from MB

Well , I dont quite take 5th gear's word on any MB model , it's a good thing they changed those paddleshifts so that even those guys at 5th gear noticed ...... Im waiting for road &track , and Top Gear ...... And most of all , Im waiting for my chance to test one of these babies , because that's all that matters to me .....

Im waiting for Sportauto, they are using a professional racingdriver and doing their famous Nordschleife and Hockenheim laptimes, Im also waiting for Tiff to drive the car. TopGear is just a joke to me, its fun to watch but not very scientific.

I forgot to mention sportauto as well

, You're right !! Top Gear is a joke , but they do have STIGG and a track time , they also have a list of very quick cars , so atleast you'll know exactly where you land in between the big dogs .....Plus it's really fun to watch .....

They probably only have the cars under a limited time and unfortuanly it rains a lot in England. They should move the track to US
