SL63 AMG.
That is A BEAST!  Running 577HP with a curb weight about 4300lbs.   Add to that the 4matic ( all wheel drive), and you have a car that can get to 0-60 in about 3-3.3 seconds and the 1/4 mile in under 11.  That is faster than I can describe to anyone that’s never felt it.  Plus, the handling and ability to carve curves and canyons is elite level.  
All in a package that is beautiful to look at!

if you get it, and want to learn how to launch it, let me know.  We can meet halfway between your place and mine ( about 1 1/2 hours for each of us).
I know some very safe, super low traffic roads we can play on.   I’ll bring the RS7 Performance.

Well, it's gone. 

Not a huge surprise. It was listed about $15K less than the average comps on the market for a 2022 with 10-12K miles.

Oh well. Not meant to be, I guess.

On June 30, 1953, workers at a Chevrolet plant in Flint, Michigan, watch as the first completed Corvette, a two-seater sports car that would become an American icon, rolls off the assembly line. It was one of just 300 Corvettes made that year.

The first Corvette off the production line was hand-assembled. It featured a Polo White exterior and red interior, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, a wraparound windshield, whitewall tires and detachable plastic curtains instead of side windows. The earliest Corvettes were designed to be opened from the inside and lacked exterior door handles. Other components included a clock, cigarette lighter and red warning light that activated when the parking brake was applied—a new feature at the time. The car carried an initial price tag of $3,490 and could go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 11 or 12 seconds, then considered a fairly average speed.

Today is National Corvette Day and Chevrolet choose today to reveal the 2027 Corvette Stingray’s newest feature: a 200+ MPH Top Speed!

Chevrolet just made it a whole lot easier (and cheaper) to go 200+ MPH, and they did it with the base 2027 Corvette Stingray that has a starting MSRP of $73,495. Chevy says at that price point, the ’27 Stingray is the “most-attainable 200-mph capable vehicle currently on sale.”


Chevrolet attained the top speed with a non-Z51 Corvette Stingray as the base car in the C8 lineup features a unique mix of high power and low drag. A Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package adds more downforce which keeps it from surpassing the double century mark. Previously, the Stingray’s top speed would top out at 194 MPH.

But that’s not all they have chosen to reveal on this special day.

The new performance figures featuring the 2027 Corvette Stingray shows that it’s capable of a 2.8-second 0-60 MPH time, and it can run the quarter mile in 11.0-seconds at 124 mph.

In an interview with GM News, small block assistant chief engineer Mike Kociba explained that the bump in power provided by the new LS6 6.7L V8 proved critical to the 2027 Corvette Stingray edging past 200:

2026 Mercedes-AMG SL63 S E Performance Test: Sound and Fury

Even ignoring its $209,250 base price, the SL63 S E Performance is a truly extreme machine. Under the SL's long hood lies a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 producing 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet. Add to that a 201-hp, 236-lb-ft electric motor and a battery with 5 kWh of usable energy, and you get a stonkin' 805 horsepower and 1047 pound-feet of twist, which is fed to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
