VIDEO: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Sliding in the Rain

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of the E-Class is not sliding around in the rain. Then again, thats because most E-Classes aren't of the E63 AMG variety. $85,750 worth of awesomeness - giving new meaning to super sedan. Are we fans? Not at all. Sarcasm alert.

The E63 AMG is motivated by a naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter, 518-horsepower V-8 generating 465 pound feet of torque making peak horsepower at 6,800 rpm and peak torque at 5,200 rpm.

Thats good for a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile in 12.7 seconds. All from a sedan that can still carry four other passengers, groceries in the trunk and not beat everyone up while doing it.

While that is mostly what owners of the E63 AMG will probably be doing with it, Mercedes has released this new video showing what you could be doing with it. Provided you're a skilled driver with an empty track, that is.  Check out the results below.
