700-HP Mercedes R63 AMG Is The Minivan You Never Knew You Wanted
Taking the kids to a soccer game, as fast as possible.
There only approximately 200 units of the Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG ever made. That makes the Mercedes minivan pretty rare, but this particular example is a one-off, tuned to a whopping 700 horsepower (and more), making it a six-seater minivan that should be in your garage right now.
The Mercedes R63 AMG is already a class of its own. Where would you find a minivan that produces 503 hp (375 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque right off the showroom, right? It was only produced in 2007 before it was withdrawn due to lackluster sales success.
