And if you’re looking for car deals, those sales can be pretty tempting. With car makers promoting their “best deals of the year,” it’s easy to get dazzled by the new car incentives and offers.

The basis for this better fuel consumption and top-class performance is provided by the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with a maximum power output of 525 hp and maximum torque of 700 Newton metres, representing an increase of 15 hp and 70 Newton metres. The optionally available AMG Performance package boosts the V8 engine's power output to 557 hp and its maximum torque to 760 Newton metres. The newly developed ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM for active roll stabilisation, the AMG-specific design and the broad scope of standard equipment and appointments provide for a highly attractive overall package.
