If someone showed you the Mercedes-AMG Sprinter63 S and Benz’s Pickup Truck sketch from last week’s announcement, which one would be more inclined to believe is an April Fools’ Day hoax? Exactly…
These images were shared on Mercedes’ US Facebook page with the following blurb:
“Introducing the all-new Mercedes-AMG Sprinter63 S. A combination of legendary performance and driving dynamics from Mercedes-AMG with the utility and capacity of a Sprinter Van. Ready to attack corners with its AMG custom-engineered sport suspension, the Sprinter63 S is powered by a 503hp handcrafted 4.0-liter biturbo V-8—which means it’s also ready to haul a lot more than just cargo. It’s exactly what you’d expect of our high performance division, if they were given the keys to a Sprinter van.”
Asked by commentators how fast the Supervan sprints to 60mph (96km/h), MBUSA’s administrator placed his / her tongue on the cheek and replied “If we were to time it, it would probably get from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds…”.
