The configurator for the 2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance has quietly gone live on the automaker's customer-facing US site, and it's appeared with a pleasant surprise: pricing is lower than we originally anticipated.

With EV manufacturers leaning towards sedan platforms, there has been a resurgence in sports sedans popularity. The EV market has cooled off more than most expected, with many reverting to hybrid tech. Because of that, we still luckily have a decent variety of sporty gas-powered sedans at our fingertips.

Every single official image we’ve seen so far of the new BMW M5 has depicted the performance sedan with a carbon fiber roof.

From the November 1982 issue of Car and Driver. Here we are in the Eighties, an era rife with technical tumult—computers are calling the cadence under our hoods, the live axle is beginning to look like an endangered species, cars really are bigger on the inside and smaller on the outside, and all of them will go so far on a tankful that bathroom stops have become more urgent than fuel stops—yet what is the most wonderful new development in automobiling? The disappearing top, that's what; the same thing that used to make motorists grin back in nineteen aught whatever, when engineers still weren't sure how to make a universal joint that would last all day.
