This may be the most impressive Mercedes-Benz that you will ever lay ears on! Sure, it looks like an executive crossover SUV but when the throttle cracks open, this black beauty sounds like a race car!

For decades Mercedes-Benz has been quietly working away in their AMG facility to produce some of the most outlandish, high-quality hand-made, production hot rods ever to come out of Europe. Each Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicle is equipped with a totally hand crafted engine that is autographed by the expert builder. These cars are the best-of-the-best.

The AMG GLE 63S has the stance of a predatory panther that is poised to strike. Combine that with a very unique degree of ride height, a 577hp (factory trim) 5.5-liter twin turbocharged V8 engine, and a 7-speed (Speedshift Plus) automatic transmission, and you have a foundation upon which to build a real street monster.

The car in this video has been expertly modified (by PP-Performance) with a custom cat-less exhaust system (not recommended for U.S. based vehicles), turbocharger upgrades, a methanol injection system, and a high-performance tuning program. This very bad girl is capable of producing 850hp and is running consistent 11-second passes (1/4-mile) at more than 200 km/h.
