The Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ is one of the most
powerful sedans in the world and it has recently been recruited for safety car
duties in Australia.
Set to make an appearance at the Liqui-Moly Bathurst
12-Hour Race next month, the high-performance safety car features a twin-turbo
4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 603 hp and 850 Nm of
torque. It is connected to nine-speed automatic transmission which sends power
to an all-wheel drive system. This setup enables the safety car to rocket from
0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds before hitting an electronically limited
top speed of 300 km/h.
Besides the almighty engine, the safety car has been
equipped with a tri-color exterior and an LED lighting unit on the roof.
Mercedes was coy on additional information but the car likely features an
assortment of communications equipment so it's always ready for action.
The E63 will be joined by a couple of other AMG
models at Mount Panorama as the company says there will be sedan versions of
the C43 4MATIC and C63 S which will be acting as Course Cars throughout the
weekend.
