Reports indicating that the enhanced model of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG will offer a modified 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system with a torque distribution of 67 / 33 (rear /front axle) were found to be accurate. This will give this model a much better handling, and will make it faster on the track compared to the earlier RWD design, AMG chief executive Ola Kllenius revealed. In comparison, the E-Class models with feature a 4MATIC system with a torque split of 55/45.

The output of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine will increase to 550HP (405kW) from 525HP (386kW) while its peak torque will go up to 531 lb-ft from 516 lb-ft. Due to this design, the enhanced version of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG will go from 0 to 62 mph or 0 � 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds. The vehicle will be able to finish a quarter-mile-run of the vehicle in just over 11 seconds at a speed of 125 mph or 201 km/h.

The enhanced model of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG will receive the Performance Package, which see a minimum increase of 26HP and torque of 26 lb-ft (35Nm). Its top speed will also reach 186 mph or 299 km/h from 155 mph to 249 km/h.

The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is set to be launched initially in Detroit before it will be unveiled in Europe by spring. It will be arriving in the US market by summer.

Actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger definitely prefers trucks over cars. Who can blame him? His big Mr. Universe and Terminator-like physique can make normal-sized cars seem so small. Also, maybe he likes a vehicle with plenty of room to move around. On the other light, preferring tough-looking trucks over cars might only be a way to feed his ego. Well, we are not sure about his reasons. But one thing is for sure, he sure know how to choose a perfect auto.

Late this year, he gave up his Hummer over a customized Mercedes-Benz Unimog. Based on several reports over the Internet, this apparently cost him around $250,000. Part of it covers federalization costs, since we all know that this type of truck hasn't been sold in the US since 2007 due to the changes in the emission regulations.

The customized Unimog is capable of handling as much as 16,500 lbs of load, go over a surface with 31-inch water and can pass easily through a 45-degree slope. This makes it perfect for off-road conditions. Normally, this can only for around 50mph, which is not exactly made for traffic light challenges. But we bet that Arnie surely tuned this up to pack up more speed.

There is one problem though, he better be careful where he fills his tank because the Unimog is diesel-fed, which is not exactly common in fuel stations of his state.
