It's true.

All 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models sold stateside will come with all-wheel drive, and only all-wheel drive. Upon hearing this news, tires the world over breathed a sigh of relief.

That is, until they were informed of the new, more powerful E63 S model. Even all-wheel drive can't make 577 horsepower easy on tires.

At this rate, AMG will have to add a fifth and sixth wheel to the car and drive those, too.

I would be careful about adding any Porsche Vehicle to such statements.

The Panamera Turbo S would trash the E63 in any measurable category.

Debadged wagon version with ceramic brakes for me. And some time off work so I can murder some SUVs.

Last time i checked the previous RS6 produced 572hp and was heavier than this new E63 with 577hp.

Somehow the tyres managed to keep its grip levels so i think this one will be just fine.

Is this the same GS that has been updated and even with higher sales numbers still cannot match its competition numbers even though the competition is more expensive? I wonder why, since the others are "garbage"?
I like the GS (sport version since the regular looks like an plain ES-350) but consumers shopping for cars at this price and level of performance don't even think of a GS, just a fact. Most likely owners of cars like an LS-F have one of these cars as an everyday user. By the way, stop posting non sense.

Hence why i didn't say "Turbo S", only Panamera, while I didn't say 5 Series or A6. Please read.

It needs a dualie rear axle like the F350 truck has.
