"It’s hand-built 6.3....."

Dear writer,
I think you meant "Its hand-built 6.2....."

MB is my absolute least favorite high end make, even lower than toyota's so-called premium brand, and even still I know the size of the engine.

Is that why the car has "6.3 AMG" on the side of it!

Toyotas must be really special for you to overlook that!

It is actually a 6.2, despite the 6.3 badge.
It's due to the heritage of the original 300SEL 6.3 amg- a great racer, and one of the first amg-merccedes collaborations.

Wow, I can't believe you (Need4Speed) didn't know that.

Why was he so de-boosted? He's right. It's a 6.2.

Never really researched this car but shame on me and on AMG for adverstising 6.3 on the side of the car while the car has 6208 cm of displacement. Maybe by some weird math they came up with the 6.3 figure. If its for heritage sake...then that's lame also. Oh well...you learn something every day!

Having seen this car personally at the dealer I must say it is AMAZING just from looking at it. It looks aggressive, fast, and different. I also noticed it had no back seat but instead some carpet in the shape of a seat? Thought that was kinda odd

I've always loved the CLK53.
