Sleeper Minivan - The Mercedes R63 AMG

Most of us car guys have had a thought of owning or building a practical station wagon which can rip of supercars and at the same time carry our dogs around but it’s very rare that we consider having a similarly cool minivan ( well a sports tourer is what Mercedes calls it) but it is actually a huge luxury barge which can seat 7 and carry your stuff around while keeping your butt warm and surround you with the extremely comfortable Mercedes interior.

However, what you would not expect to have in this minivan(if you haven’t already guessed by the name) is a monster of an Engine. It’s the same 6.2 litre V-8 powerplant found in the C-63 AMG producing 503 hp and 465 lb ft of torque to propel this rich man’s estima (is what i like to call it) from 0-62mph in 5.0 seconds flat and featured the 4MATIC all wheel drive system mated to a seven speed automatic transmission.

But as bonkers as this was, it was not well received for the not so good performance when this thing was shown a corner and saw poor sales due to which it was only sold for 1 model year which was 2007 and withdrawn from the markets. At last i hope Mercedes still keep the passion and pedigree of what it has been making these absolute bonkers machines and laugh in the face of humanity like any other german joke!
