I see R-compound tires e.g. R888 in that E63 driver's future. And someone tell that numbskull not to do anymore runs from a dig, please.

Is that your excuse for having too much torque?

Or were you just "nervous?"

Just look at this way, you can haul around 3 full avatars (or 2 with room in the back for play) when the TT can only haul 1.

The 6.3 liter AMG V8 has enough torque to affect the planet's rotation!

I heard that the MB AMG SL 65 Black Series has 1000 Nm of torque! And that is with the torque output tuned down!!! AMG has created the world's most expensive tire shredder!
