2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG makes some noise – Click above to hear it after the jump<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>As some of you may have read, I was pretty smitten with the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG<\/a>. In case you somehow missed the buttery prose (for shame, for shame!), I described the sound of the big, bad, naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 as, “Angry, guttural, aggravated and very, very masculine. Even at idle, it sounds like it’s pissed off and ready to dish out some wrath of God-type violence. Street legal sedans don’t sound like this.” <\/p>\n

But wouldn’t it be nice if you could hear what I’m bloviating about? Well friends, today you can!<\/p>\n

Thanks to a good buddy of mine named Luis Galdames, we have some high-quality sound files of the E63 AMG tearing stuff (mostly asphalt) up. Aside from recently winning a Golden Reel award for his sound mixing work on the FOX television show House<\/em>, Luis also recorded all the engine sounds for NBC’s short-lived but quite comical Knight Rider<\/em> remake<\/a>. In other words, he knows his stuff.<\/p>\n

After the jump<\/a> we have three sound clips for your amusement. The first is of Luis standing behind the car and as I rev the mighty V8 up to around 6,000 rpm before side-stepping the brake pedal and launching. Listen close and at the end you can hear the car downshifting as I get on the brakes. The second clip was my favorite to record. Luis asked I fly by him at 100 mph and shift from third to fourth as I passed. We had to do a few takes for that one. And the third clip perfectly sums up the E63 AMG — one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. Make the jump and enjoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
