My friend just came back from a two day trip at Willow Springs International Raceway experiencing the best of Mercedes AMG. Enjoy!

The Best of Mercedes-AMG

Cheers,
Joe

The CLA AMG is bite-the-back-of-your-hand gorgeous

sleddog · 17 October 2013, 01:53 PM

Now that's one lucky friend...!

watchf · 17 October 2013, 02:07 PM

Great stuff. The new CLA45 is fascinating in a "wolf in sheep's skin way" like an unassuming fly under the radar SS DJ with rich history and great power beneath its hood! Love it!

accce · 17 October 2013, 02:12 PM

Watch this AMG and a Yamaha R1 go at it.

Thanks for posting this - I enjoyed the photos and clips

I wouldn't have minded that! Wow. Looks like an awesome event.

77T · 17 October 2013, 08:40 PM

They are making great progress in their performance division and have a stunning line-up.

mjclark32 · 17 October 2013, 10:47 PM

Awesome!
I have the 14' e350 and just saw the 14' e63amg the other day and immediately started drooooling...

SC11 · 18 October 2013, 12:35 AM

Oh dear.....

I think i've had an accident...

Impressive motors, i've always been an AMG fan

AMG is focusing on 4wd's now

They call it 4Matic and they are doing it so they can get all that power to the road in a controlled manner. The E63 was the first to get 4Matic. Its an option in Europe but standard in the States.

Latrodectus · 18 October 2013, 01:52 AM

Very cool and very lucky to be a part of this!

Yeah I have the W211 E63 (rear wheel drive) and its great to have all the power, but its somewhat unusable from a stop... severe wheel spin and traction control intervention if you give it more than about 1/4 throttle...

In normal driving (comfort mode) the car wont even use 1st gear, all starts are from 2nd gear to help mitigate the issue.

Dr. Robert · 18 October 2013, 04:22 AM

Wow!
Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

alexinmontreal · 21 October 2013, 12:32 PM

I'm on my way to Vegas to do an AMG Performance Event day...I don't think I'll have my new Root Beer GMT for it but it should be a lot of fun anyway.

alexinmontreal · 21 October 2013, 12:37 PM

I have the same car and learned a whole lot from the "how to drag race" in that forum. I then practiced these techniques often at our local drag strip... A real blast.

BNA/LION · 21 October 2013, 12:41 PM

My next Mercedes will be an E63 AMG! Thanks for sharing...

I want that E63 Wagon so bad. My wife lusts after the medical car every time it's shown while watching F1

Thanks I'll check it out!

alexinmontreal · 26 October 2013, 06:04 PM

I thought I'd be going to Vegas to decide which AMG to buy next; instead I bought one before going to the track... 2012 SLS Roadster... What a ride!

They are going to put these engines in the Aston Martins

AbsolutelyROLEX! · 27 October 2013, 04:51 AM

And guess what boys, I get to fix them and test drive them on a weekly basis without having to buy my own, pay insurance or gas!!

What are your 1/4 mile times?

alexinmontreal · 27 October 2013, 09:33 AM

Depending on...everything, I usually do 12.6. My best time at the same track (Mirabel) is 12.394. That's one of 2 published on tracktimes.com.

That was ridiculous. Usually with an R1 its just assumed that the bike will catch and pass the car. Not in this case. Completely awesome.

Blue Trident · 8 June 2015, 06:15 AM

It is wonderful to discover other MBZ AMG enthusiasts amongst out TRF members! Quite frankly, I have been exceedingly happy with my Mercedes Benz AMG E63. The snap your neck, aggressive performance and predatory growl of this very refined vehicle is breathtaking.

Laszlo · 8 June 2015, 07:43 AM

AMGs rule... period. A German muscle car. And nothing is more special than their hand-built V8s. Nothing.

GB-man · 8 June 2015, 08:58 AM

They sure do make an incredible engine. Thanks for sharing.
