300 SEL against E 63 AMG A legendary achievement Three of point of six: More Mercedes did not go 1968. At the most of AMG. Here the “red sow” meets its successor: the E 63 AMG. Whether that probably good-goes?

Of Jörg Maltzan actually do not have it anything to say themselves. Savage Althippie meets his adretten Nachkömmling, which made largely career. Where are there common topics? But more clearly no paternity test can be: The current AMG E 63 is the legitimate descendant Mercedes 300 SEL 6,3 from the year 1968. Both eint a V8 with 6,3 litres capacity and the realization that one can never have of it enough. More still: Both Boliden come from the same enterprise and have literally identical “AMGene”. 1967 based, created the Tuningbude AMG four years later with legendary six three the break-through, because their running route car rested at the 24 hours of Spa on the second place. A legendary achievement. Today AMG is a 100 percent and the most successful DaimlerChrysler daughter. It produces the Topmodell Mercedes E-class, which are still stronger than the zehnzylindrigen AUDI S6 and BMW M5. AMG developed the engine in self-direction. Like the father so the son. Marketing experts love such stories. They are the material, from which myths will gewoben, and myths are good for the business. Therefore the “red sow” (work jargon) accompanied the E 63 AMG with its world premiere on that Geneva salon in March in the searchlight beam. Instead of on compressor eight-cylinders the Mercedes Sportabteilung sets on large volume, passage-strong suction engines. That brings much torque with low routes, powerfully to steam above raus and provides for even achievement development. No grey theory, but practically experiencable: Turbine-well-behaved the E winds 63 AMG up and brings its 514 HP spielerisch on the road. In incomparable elegance kept in track it in only 4.5 seconds on 100 km/h.

No doubt: This high speed sedan offers the perfect combination of sport and luxury travel cars. Better it does not go. Nevertheless the red racer steals the show from him. It stands for Bullig on its enormous rollers. The bumper is missing in front. But gibt's four plate-large auxiliary headlights, which brought light at that time into the dark Ardennenwälder. Accurately in such a way, as he looks now, it shot before 35 years by the legendary Eau Rouge curve. Nevertheless it is only one replication. The original is verschollen. It was sold 1972 at Matra to France and served there as test car for aircraft tires. Matra needed a vehicle, which reached 200 km/h after 900 meters. Thus the 6,3 to the 5,60-Meter-Sechstürer one converted. Behind the front seats there was a device, which pressed tires with speed 200 with 800 Kilos pressure on the runway, in order to determine friction values. Which for a lausiges end of a legend. For the reon purchasing AMG bought a W 109,6,3 in Berlin and transformed it to the “red sow”. If it is started, standing around twitch together. It bubbles like a volcano. Each gas impact provides for earthquakes. Is missing only the glowing lava, which pours from the hood. Air cleaner does not give it. The muffler is empty. Instead of its free passage and running roar. And that is not yet everything: “Still it has the series drive with 250 HP and mechanism”, says AMG master Peter Conrad. “At present we work on a drilled out running engine with 6,8 litres, larger valves and sharper cam shafts.”

If it is finished, it is to be had like the original 420 HP and equipped with a five-gear shift. Also over a second model for the employment in the historical route car haven in Affalterbach one thinks. Mercedes an E 63 AMG in the running trim against it will probably never give it. Actually harm. Because is certain despite the large disparity in age: They are from the same wood. Both have themselves so much to say that they do not know at all, where they are to begin.
