Our good friend Anjan over at IndianAutosBlog was on a trip to Albania last week, and was asked by a person which car they should buy should in the event they were to become the leader of the Albanian Mafia. This is of course a made up scenario but it left Anjan wondering what he would tell this hypothetical person. Below is his recommendation for the hypothetical Albanian mob boss.
While Mercedes announced the standard 2014 Mercedes S-Class, the AMG variant has yet to be announced or even shown. As Anjan pondered over this, his design artist, Shoeb, came out with sketches of what the AMG variant of the world’s best car would look like.
Firstly however, let’s discuss the 5.5-liter V8 Bi-Turbo engine. Seen in its most updated spec on the 2014 Mercedes E63 AMG, the Swabians will offer it in two states of tune: a 557bhp version will churn 720Nm of torque and will form the base. Or, a 577bhp clubbed with 800Nm of torque will propel the car in under 4 seconds.
The top-end model will be offered with the 4MATIC all wheel drive and this could be the fastest and quickest S Class ever made.
Now, on to the renderings, as you can see there are two different options. The first rendering is of the S63 AMG with the ‘Elegance’ grill, the second is fitted with the ‘Avant-Garde’ grill. Which do you prefer? So far with the new Mercedes S-Class only comes with an Elegance grill.
Other features worth looking at are the new, aggressively shaped air dams on the front bumper and the small ‘V8 Bi-Turbo’ badge at the side fender.
