Is this the worlds most repugnant car?



This is the newly released Mercedes Benz R63 AMG.

Puntiki:I personally think it looks like a hearse with some big wheels. I can't imagine what was going on in the design chiefs head when he or she ticked this one off. I am wondering if they are trying to get a "Bangle" reputation, but this time it is actually worthy of negative publicity. This car is UGLY.

Now having said that, the engine powering this vehicle is worthy of note. It is the first engine that AMG has built for a production Mercedes Benz that wasn't designed off a current Benz engine. It was designed from scratch by AMG and shares no Benz parts.

The AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine generates an output of 375 kW/510 hp at 6800 rpm and a maximum torque of 630 newton metres at 5200 rpm. This makes the new AMG powerpack the world’s most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in terms of specific output and specific torque.

This unique combination of a high-revving engine design and a large displacement offers the best of both worlds: exhilarating liveliness accompanied by powerful torque from low engine speeds.

The R63 AMG will go 0-100kph in 5.0
