If you are planning to get an upgrade your snazzy Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG—perhaps a handsome new paint job or additional horsepower for more bragging rights—there’s only one name for the job: the AMG Performance Studio.

The AMG Performance Studio opened in Affalterbach, Germany way back in 2006 and since then, they have been upgrading the standing horsepower and torque figures by almost 32 ponies and 100 Nm of torque through the AMG Performance Package.

That’s not all, the package also includes a genuine AMG engine cover made of carbon fiber, lightweight alloy wheels for AMGs featuring a handsome 10-spoke concept design that comes a titanium grey tint, brake calipers in anodized silver or sheen red and tires that are designed to pimp up your Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.

Other AMG Packages include the AMG Exterior Carbon Package, AMG Ride Control, Performance suspension, AMG Performance steering wheel, and AMG Exclusive Package for a beautiful upholstery made of nappa leather for that perfect AMG sports seats plus other interior upgrades like beltlines, armrests, center console, AMG floor mats and more. The topnotch AMG package is only offered in Germany and this includes the sliding glass sunroof, the Keyless-Go package, rear windows sunblind, and the Multicontour Seat package.

Now, there’s also the AMG Driver Package which restricts your E 63 AMG Estate to 280 km/h and your E 63 AMG Saloon to 300 km/h. Furthermore, this package also entitles you to a driver’s training course at their very own AMG Driving Academy.

Back in the month of April, Mercedes-Benz began making all sorts of plans to come out with the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell – on a smaller scale.  The German automaker wanted to start small in order to see how this particular car went – they are going to be starting with just about 200 cars throughout the United States as well as Europe and as of early next year, you should be able to lease the beautiful Mercedes-Benz F-Cell.

What is so different about the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell is that it actually uses a 100 kW electric motor that churns out about 214 lb-ft of torque, which is something that many – many cars do not have.  This car actually features a 2.0-liter gas-powered engine inside that will get up to about 60 mph in under 11 seconds, which is awesome!

The best part about the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell?  It can go up to about 86.6 mpg, which is fantastic because gas prices are on the rise again!

As an opening post, we thought we’d show you the car we used for our header image. It’s the extremely decadent (yet elegant!) Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Edition. According to Mercedes-specialists at Mercedes Talk: “The interior of the car follows a minimalist perspective using high grade leather, carbon fiber, and aluminum. The shifter is the center of the interior featuring an engraved aluminum plate signed by Moss. Under the hood of the [Stirling Moss] SLR is a supercharged V8 engine adapted from the 722 edition. The power plant that outputs 650 horse power is capable of sending the car from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds. Top speed is jotted at 217 mph.”

What a beauty!
