AMGs will always have a special place in my memory bank. As a rookie video producer here at Autoblog back in 2013, I was sent to an event called "The Best of AMG." You fly to the L.A. airport, get the keys to an AMG and drive out to Willow Springs raceway to track any AMG model you want. In the span of three days I got behind the wheel of many dream cars, the pièce de résistance being the gull-winged SLS AMG Black Series. This AMG doesn't come with track time, but it does come with 603 horses under the hood, as well as all taxes covered. Plus, you get to keep it.

Here’s what we thought about the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S when we drove it:

“On paper, this is one of the beastliest cars I’ve driven in recent months. On a snow-covered road with everything dialed over to comfort, it’s a teddy bear. Our tester was equipped with winter tires, and between those and the standard all-wheel drive, you have as much control as you could possibly ask for on a snow-covered road. What you choose to do with that power is entirely up to you.

“Just want to cruise along an ice-and-snow covered street with lots of hills and bends and unpredictable surfaces lurking below? No problem. Want to let loose in an empty parking lot with nothing nearby to hit? Go nuts.

“Whatever the GLE 63 S Coupe may be (depending on who you ask, a sawed-off family SUV, a fashion statement or just a plain-old abomination) this is a vehicle that happens to offer almost as much horsepower as the last-generation SRT Viper. These two vehicles would never be cross-shopped; they don’t even belong in the same sentence, let alone the same automotive niche.
