If you were lamenting Mercedes’ decision to swap out the burly 4.0-liter V8 in the C 63 for something with half the cylinders, the new-for-2023 S 63 E Performance might just help Mercedes make amends. The most powerful S-Class ever features a similarly complex hybrid powertrain as the new C […]

Never mind the Tesla EV charging stations in the background, these spy shots are all about a supercar that still has a gasoline engine. No fewer than three prototypes of the next-generation AMG GT Coupe were caught in snowy northern Sweden while the test drivers were on a lunch break. […]
The night before the test drive, the 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL63 parked outside appeared to be daring us to compare it to any SL that’s come before. A smoother and softer shape, the new SL retains the long-hood and short-deck proportions of its predecessor, but with much trimmer overhangs. It looks […]

In the last 10 years, the slice of vehicle sales that were cars has plummeted in the United States from about 50 percent to less than 25 percent. That’s why the only car in a Ford showroom is the Mustang and the only cars at your Buick dealer are used. […]
We had the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 over a perfect weekend, hot enough to appreciate a luxury car with a vigorous air-conditioning system and ventilated leather seats yet breezy enough to pop up the sunroof and let the pine scent of mountain air and the smooth thrum of the inline-six engine […]
Autocorrect constantly tries to change “AMG” to “OMG.” After driving the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, a tightly bundled knot of carbon fiber and malice, you just might let it. Sure, autocorrect, call this car whatever you want. Call it the Mercy-OMG Goat Bonk Serious. That’ll make perfect sense after […]
