The E63 S Is Here For One And One Reason Only. To Rule.

The Duke Of Hooliganism

A deep rumble is felt while it wafts pass you in traffic. It’s the sheer presence in its stance that speaks a lot about the person sitting inside. You don’t want to mess with this one, because if you do, you’re in for instant regret. I say it because this car is capable of inflicting fear just by looking at it. Cars like this imprint a memory that cannot be erased even if one wanted to. They flash in front of your eyes just by thinking about it, just like the fear people have about Valak. They say, ‘One should face their fears’, as it’s the only way to overcome them. In my case, it was the day when I got behind the wheel of the new Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic+.

You see, every iteration of this German super saloon has carried a cult status that has prevailed for years. And this one has taken that cult image to a whole new level. To the common eye, the E63 S can be mistaken for a standard E-Class, but stare at it some more and you’ll notice it is different. The E63 S is basically a devil car that’s waiting to lurch ahead at full steam. Now even if looks are a subjective matter, I see absolutely no reason for anyone to not like this 250+ kph four-door sedan. Draped in a colour shade of Obsidian black, the E63 S looks absolutely stunning. It has carbon fibre bits that sculpt an aggressive line around the AMGstyled bumpers and a barrage of AMG badging giving you a subtle yet bold reminder of what you are dealing with.

HISTORY CHANNEL

When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
