The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG was suppose to be unveiled next week at the New York Auto Show but our friends on the other side of the pond decided to unleash the beauty a little early. At this point, our friends at eGMCarTech couldn’t resist either.
Power comes from AMG’s 6.3L V8 engine that produces 518-hp and a peak torque of 465 lb-ft. Mated to AMG’s SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission the 2010 E63 AMG can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds (BMW M5 and new Jaguar XFR reaching 60-mph in 4.5 seconds and 4.7 seconds) with a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited).

Unveiled at Basel World, the Super Trofeo Chronograph is the first timepiece to come from an everlasting relationship between Italy’s Lamborghini and Swiss watchmaker Blancpain. As Hodinkee states, the watch is crafted of DLC coated steel, features Blancpain’s Calibre F185 movement, which to reinforce its dynamic nature, has been coated by NAC – a state-of-the-art electroplating treatment that blackens the movement bridges and main plate. The timepiece is a bit more subtle than we’d expect from the raging bull (speaking of which, there is no sign of it anywhere on the watch), but it is understated and well refined.
The Super Trofeo commemorates a partnership between Lamborghini and Blancpain that will see a whole new series of races takingplace between 30 Lamborghinis on six different tracks this year, including some of the world’s best. Only 300 of these will be made available.

The Pagani Zonda R needs no introduction, but Runimation Studios Productions seem to think so. We love to see supercars in action so we’re happy to see an ad campaign for a car that unleashes 750 horses from its 6.0 litre V12 engine. The car is amazingly designed and after watching the commercial, you’ll think all the photos of the Zonda R don’t do it justice.
