First Drive: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG - Mercedes Benz Luxury Sport Sedan - Automobile Magazine
With the horsepower wars in a stalemate, the folks at AMG turn their attentions to other pursuits with the 2010 E63 AMG.

Is the Horsepower War Almost Over?
War is hell, unless it's a horsepower war, in which case it's kind of fun. For more than a decade, the cars from AMG have been on the front lines of the horsepower wars, which have seen the top autobahn rockets - most, naturally, from Germany - zoom past 300, then 400, and now 500 horsepower. But all good wars must one day come to an end, and for the horsepower wars, that day is starting to feel very close indeed. The new E63 AMG, for example, uses the same engine as the previous model (AMG's near-ubiquitous 6.2-liter V-8) and pushes its headline figure ahead by only 11 hp.
