Thirsty E63 Mercedes is always ready to roar By Richard Hammond on November 20

Right, I need a break from recharging times, regenerative braking, kilowatt motors, iron-based batteries and all the other stuff that comes with these new fangled electric cars.

I mean, you can now buy a BMW 3-Series that can do 60mpg and I can imagine that we'll soon have cars that can do 100mpg - all without having to trail an electrical flex out of your friends' dining room window when you've popped around to watch the footie and share a pizza.

So this week I bring you the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. It is as green as a supertanker crash and more fun than working in a beer factory (more...)
