Mercedes E 63 AMG drifting on wet racetrack [Video]

0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds

Mercedes has released a new video showing the E 63 AMG power sliding around a wet track.

Boasting Top Gear-esque sequences, the clip attempts to lure you to sleep with relaxing music. Despite their efforts, the sound of the AMG V8 commands your attention.

As we have previously reported, the E 63 AMG is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter (6208 cc) V8 engine with 518 hp (386 kW / 525 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630Nm) of torque. Backed up by a seven-speed Speedshift MCT automatic transmission, the car accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h).

Nice - but I would definitely change the exhaust tips - that boxy look is awful

I am more of a BMW M fan but either way AMG is German muscle and is FTW as well.

You might want to check your spelling WCF, it's "Drifting" not "Difting". As also pointed out by "fatt1".
