Mercedes Benz E63 AMG S 2014… Keeping Better and Better

The days of Mercedes model naming giving any indication as to what’s under the bonnet are long gone. The Mercedes E63 AMG never had a 6.3-litre engine – the old car packed a naturally-aspirated 6.2-litre V8. Now the powerplant has shrunk to 5.5-litres, but has sprouted a pair of turbochargers. It is the same V8 mill already found in the CLS63, S63 and CL63 AMG.

 

Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Black Series… The Rear Wheel Drive Beast

Beyond the deep new front bumper, with integral carbonfiber splitter, and front wings that have been widened by 13mm, it is the long, contoured carbonfiber bonnet with integral air duct that really sets it apart. Further back, there are deep new sills with cooling ducts for the rear brakes, rear wings that extend out by an extra 26mm and a reprofiled rear bumper with a more substantial diffuser.

Zonda Revolucion… The Last of The Breed?

The New Pagani Zonda R for the Streets???

Is the new Pagani Zonda Revolucion the Nurburgring lap-record holder in waiting? The Zonda Revolucion (Revolution in Spanish) is a fettled version of the track-only Zonda R, boasting more power and F1-derived brake and aerodynamic know-how. It should easily be able to eclipse the Zonda R’s record-breaking 6min 47sec Nürburgring lap time, but you’ll need fast money, too. Available to order now, the five Revolucions being produced will set you back an eye-watering €2.2m (£1.8m) each – plus taxes – and you still can’t drive it on the road…

Pagani’s Dream: The Huayra

What is it?

The Huayra is the all-new supercar from Pagani, and it replaces the legendary Pagani Zonda that blew our minds and stole our hearts back in 1999. Named after a warm south American wind, the “Why-rah” represents the culmination of seven years hard graft by the 57 employees at Pagani, the project having begun as long ago as 2005.

As Michelangelo once declared; “Beauty is in the details.” And in the Huayra’s case the details are exquisite, even if they have taken a while to make perfect.
