Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG

For many car enthusiasts, the dream of owning a wildly expensive supercar may remain just that---a dream. The classics that show up at high-end auctions, like those at Mecum, can seem out of reach for most. But for those who have achieved even modest success and are eager to indulge their love for fast, luxurious vehicles, there is a more attainable option that blends both performance and practicality: the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.

The E63 AMG is the perfect blend of luxury and power for the upper-middle-class driver who doesn't want to sacrifice excitement for everyday driving. It's equipped with a twin-turbocharged DOHC 32-valve V-8 engine, direct fuel injection, and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, delivering 603 horsepower. As Car and Driver highlights, this powerful sedan or wagon is a true "suburban subdivision rocket" that can effortlessly rocket from 0 to 60 mph while still providing a smooth, comfortable ride.

Beyond just performance, the E63 AMG comes with all the luxury features you'd expect from a Mercedes-Benz, making it a versatile option for a family car that can also double as a thrilling ride. Whether you're hauling groceries or heading out for a weekend getaway, the E63 AMG offers a sophisticated way to enjoy the drive. For the family who likes to go fast, this could very well be the perfect car---combining practicality, power, and Mercedes-Benz's signature luxury.
