Motor Trend - Quick Drive: 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG



What: AMG’s handbuilt rocket motor turns S-Class sedan into Phantom Menace

How Much: Base price, $130,775; As tested, $135,235

What’s Hot: 518 horsepower. Handles like a smaller car. Menacing look (in a good way)

What’s Not: Really thirsty (hey, speed costs money). Column shifter seems strange in a car like this. Limited production.



On The Road: The current-gen S-Class always ranks first or second in any big banger sedan comparo we do. But this is my new favorite among them. The S-Class gets a full body makeover courtesy of the speed dealers at AMG, and the result is classy, mega luxurious, and seriously fast.
