Only motor option is V6. 268 HP. It's a great motor. I have it in the ML.

[Kevin@nextmod]

I think he's mixed up the GL and the R. The GL looks much better and the GL does offer an option for a V8

I'm not mixed up. The R63 AMG is a special order for Canada but you can get it, I have been in one. Here is the review by car and driver - R63 AMG Review (http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/06q4/2007_mercedes-benz_r63_amg-first_drive_review)


Making all this ridiculous performance possible is AMG's naturally aspirated 507-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 hooked to Mercedes' excellent seven-speed automatic. Since all R-classes have all-wheel drive, maximum acceleration requires only a heavy right foot. Stomping the gas pedal from a stop elicits a brief whiff of front wheelspin before the rear wheels get their share of the juice. Mercedes claims a 0-to-60 time of 4.6 seconds, and that's quite believable. Press on, and the rate of acceleration doesn't taper off until you're into triple-digit speeds.

Pressed into corners, the R63 feels remarkably agile, the AMG-tuned suspension is firm without being too harsh, and the wide 295/40R-20 Continental tires hang on with tenacity. The steering has a heft to it that serves as a reminder of the mass being hustled around. Stops from autobahn speeds are ensured by massive 15.4-inch rotors up front and 14.4-inch rotors in back that scrub off speed remarkably.

So, once again, who's gonna fork over major money for this beast? In North America, Mercedes has decided not to advertise or actively market the R63, so it will be by special order only.

That I did. My bad.

[ZeroChalk]

I like it. Not a minivan type ... but I think it does look pretty good in person.

[Darkfrosty7]

eh... i don't like it at all... looks ugly too

[MajesticBlueNTO]

R-class = Pacifica in a suit :chuckle

[josh160]

So ugly. Mercedes has produced a lot of ugly models within the last few years.

Nice! But how much can you buy it for?

[ShortBus]

love the flat black but that's going to be hard to care for, i'd get it painted with truck liner than paint and the bumper looks like it was stolen from a train.

but for me it goes bmw->audi->merc but if porsche was thrown in the mix it's be first.

At a quick glance, I was thinking the same thing.

If it wasn't so long (station wagon long), it would probably look a lot better.

[urbanjoe]

Such a nice car. To bad only a very few of us will ever get the chance to own one.. :(
