Mercedes-AMG E63 S Review - Is this much power really necessary, or worth it?

Looking for a used Mercedes for sale in South Africa - We have nearly 4500 to choose from! https://www.cars.co.za/usedcars/Merce... In the latest development in what seems to be an ever-escalating German power war, Mercedes-AMG has released this, the most powerful E-Class ever. With 460kW on tap from a bi-turbo V8, this car absolutely rockets off the line and when we put it head-to-head with the latest RS6, it came out tops - quite comfortably. This is a brutally fast car and having driven it for a few days, our video journalist Ciro De Siena was left thinking, is all this power necessary, or even worth it? To really stretch the car's legs without the risk of being handcuffed and spending the weekend in a holding cell, we took our test unit to the Saldanha airstrip outside Cape Town. Enjoy!
