Solely a pair hundred Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG fashions have been in-built complete, and after this one, it’s laborious to see why.
Many people have lived by way of the horrors of getting to surrender our sporty automobiles after having a household, the dreadful expertise of promoting off our beloved journey and buying and selling it out for a family-friendly different like a van or SUV. Fortunately for us, most automakers – notably Mercedes – make some enjoyable, sporty SUVs today, which helps ease the ache of constructing that individual change. This has been true for a while, with the German automaker even making a cool, sporty minivan, as this 2007 Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG lately listed on the market at The MB Market reminds us.
Honestly, the 2007 R-class wasn’t precisely a hot-selling automobile in its heyday, principally as a result of Individuals (and everybody else) gave up on this specific phase a very long time in the past. Factor is, not many individuals wished a hot-rodded model of the R both, because the Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG was in-built tiny portions, with only a couple hundred rolling off the meeting line in complete. Actually, solely 108 of them made it to the U.S., which is exactly why we hardly ever ever see one pop up on the market.
This specific R63 AMG has lived a great life in California, and as such, doesn’t appear to be it has 144k miles on the clock, which it does. Packing a 6.2-liter V8 underhood, the recent rod household hauler was initially rated to supply 503 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, which flows to all 4 wheels through a seven-speed computerized transmission.
Maybe extra importantly, the R63 AMG appears to be like superb, notably with the customized 20-inch wheels it’s sporting, which have been impressed by the W100 Grosser models. They may definitely make any automobile look cool, however this specific instance can also be being offered with its manufacturing facility 20-inch AMG wheels, simply in case the brand new proprietor desires to return to inventory (we definitely wouldn’t). The manufacturing facility aero package solely provides to the van’s sportiness, together with chrome-plated quad AMG exhaust suggestions, and 6.2 badges on the entrance fenders.
Total, it’s laborious to argue with the truth that this 2007 Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG is a particular machine, although it was largely unloved when it initially launched. Sadly, these automobiles aren’t low-cost to keep up by any means, with full engine rebuilds reportedly costing as a lot as a brand new automobile in some instances, but when the brand new proprietor can swing it, they’ve received an actual dialog piece of their storage for not some huge cash – but.
