THE BLACK BADGE BRUISER – E63 AMG S BY THE VERTEX COLLECTION OBSIDIAN BLACK • PANORAMIC ROOF • 20 INCH FORGED-STYLE ALLOYS • 577BHP S-MODEL OVERVIEW Some cars you study. Some you spec. Some you build in your head.And then there are the ones that simply have it. The moment you see them, you know. This is one of them. Finished in deep Obsidian Black with privacy glass and aggressive forged-style 20" alloys, this is the one to have — the E63 AMG S-Model. The full-fat, factory ‘Increased Performance’ version (M014) with a 5.5-litre BiTurbo V8 pushing 577bhp and 800Nm through a 7-speed MCT gearbox and a proper mechanical locking differential. No gimmicks. No EQ badge. Just raw AMG firepower wrapped in elegant menace. And I’ve driven it — properly. This isn’t just a fast car. It’s a feral one. At low speeds, it’s smooth and composed, the torque abundant and effortless. But when you open it up, the noise is outrageous. The shove, instant. It turns the road into something else — something alive. The diff bites hard, the chassis responds, and the V8 rips through the revs like a dog off the leash. It’s loud. It’s fast. It’s addictive. It's one of the most thrilling things we've had in the collection. But what makes this car special is how it’s been kept. It’s not a drag-strip build or a tired finance-mileage hack. This is a clean, properly owned and maintained example with full service history — Mercedes-Benz main dealer visits, specialist servicing, and a full health check from Mercedes-Benz Exeter. You can tell by the way it drives — tight, strong, alive. There’s confidence baked into every corner of it. Inside, it's a lesson in classic AMG luxury: Nappa/Semi-Aniline black leather with black ash trim, a panoramic glass roof overhead, and all the right options: Performance steering wheel, memory seats, rear electric blind, illuminated AMG sills, and more. The cabin is tight, clean, and free from wear. It smells right. Feels right. No shininess on the wheel, no tired buttons. Just solid AMG class, beautifully preserved. We know what these cars can be when they’re not looked after. This isn’t one of those. This is our kind of AMG — enthusiast-owned, well kept, unspoiled, and rare in this condition. Proper spec. Proper prep. Pure menace.
