An E63 plus 400 horses

1033 bhp Pistonheads For Sale

Someone has had some fun (and deep pockets no doubt)

Has the forum seen this particular monster before?

It has come up in a few discussions, the standard 600 car is very quickly a licence loosing machine so this must be absolutely ridiculous.

I think it was on at autotrader at just a few quid under 50k. Really the last e63s I'd ever consider buying I'm sure it's a monster if it doesn't break down on you and your 50k has been flushed down the dunny

Admire the car for sure, but is it me or do the panel gaps look a bit out on the front end?

That bonnet to front end alignment looks like a nightmare to get even.

I don't do estates....and neither could I afford it to be honest......but I'd love an hour in it at about 5 in the morning on a sunny Sunday on my favourite Southdowns road. The best time to really "drive"......just to see what it can do and if it was actually any use on the road. It could easily be slower than stock in the real world away from drag straps. Many years ago when Fast a Furious was new on the scene a friend bought a R33 Skyline import that was already at around 700 horses. Several thousand pounds later it was kicking out 1003 horses....he still has the dyno chart on his home office wall! Quite a lot back then...especially for a mere 2.6 L 6 pot. It was scary fast.....almost undriveable due the the massive turbo lag (big turbos for big power...but they take much longer to spool...relatively). Five hundred ish horses at 3500 revs jumped to nearly a 1000 by 4000!!!!....hilarious....but almost useless. To the point that on back lanes where you could drive fast you were too scared to put the pedal down in anything other than a straight line on a dry road...and even then it was a case of constantly correcting the steering to keep it between the hedges. A well driven stocker would have been a better, faster point to point machine. Happy days!
Times have moved on , turbo lag is better controlled with software (to the point its not noticeable on most stock cars). Software can also control were the power/torque is made in the rev range and even send it to the tyres with most grip....and the car in this thread is 4wd (as was the Skyline).....so if it's been done properly it could be great fun...and even reliable.....after all you will only be able to use anything like fully power for a tiny amount of time....so the rest of the time the, hopefully, upgraded components, won't be dealing with much more than std power numbers.

My last E63 was running at 950, that thing was an animal beating most things at VMAX and pretty usable on the roads, although did reach silly speeds VERY quickly! It took a lot of re-tuning or dialing in as mentioned on the advert before it ran well on normal daily drives so I appreciate the time and effort needed to get it running right. If it wasn't for it being rear wheel drive id have still had my w212 e63.

This thing will be mental with the 4matic, its a fair price too. I would want it properly checked if I was a buyer as if it has been ragged or not tuned properly it could have some very expensive repairs coming, or like ALFAitalia mentioned will be fine.

Who does that to a car and not drive it hard?...pointless exercise otherwise. I'm sure it's been used... unless it was all done for pub bragging right....as happens.

https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=DO05TOM&checkRecalls=true I'm pretty sure this is the car. The private plate has been taken off but its MOT history is tied to the private plate.

Current keeper had it since September 2020 so could be the second keeper if it was registered in 2017.

This car i believe was featured on officially gassed. I think the previous keeper used to track it.

Now one thing to say is the car on OG didn't look like it misbehaved too badly , however last night when I was messing with my stock car, in sport plus and sport handling mode on a wet road, the car nose went a good 30 degrees left then right when I mashed my foot down trying to get a drag race score. Unfortunately the second reading didn't save but without launch control, 0 to 60 without launch control was around 3.5 seconds or so. Ofcourse if anyone is interested in the car, they can get in touch with the tuner mentioned on the youtube video to work our reliability of the build etc
This car misbehaves a hell of a lot in sport plus, the tail swings all over the place on the estate, reminds me of my c63s estate except this one is much faster
