@1akinwale That is in Australian Dollars, Australia has a "luxury car tax" meaning we pay much more for cars like this. This is to make people buy locally made cars instead.
Ahh ok, Maybe they used stock footage of the previous model, i was referring to the 6.3L AMG badge displayed at 0:55 it clearly says a 6.3L.. which is wrong then
"revving it all the time 'till i run out of BATTERY" "Yea, what's confusing sometimes to a lot of people is the fact that this is a SOFT TOP" What?!?!?
Too many variables to say. youve got shipping, customs duties, then you need the car converted to Right hand drive. you cant get a my12 corvette grand sport coupe thats already imported for 100,000 australian dollars, but it still needs to be converted to rhd.
props to the post production engineer. VERY good editing - up to the standards of the english show. makes me laugh even more at the JOKE that is topgear 'usa' (excuse me a minute....) HAAHHHAHHAAHHHAHAAA
400k aussie dollors is about 300k uk pounds which is twice as much as you pay here for one 149k but if we had that luxury car tax to encourage locally made cars they be more range rovers on the road instead of porsche cayenns bmw x5 and 6s more jaguar xfs instead of bmw 5 audi a6 and merc e's more astons instead of lambos now the roads would looke better here bring it on but they be more minis nissan qashquis notes honda jazz and civics toyota rav-4 and avenisis all made in uk
God, yet another reason to not move to Australia. Too strict on video games, too strict on guns, too strict on cars, everything there wants to kill you, theres nothing to do if you go west of the coast......ugh.
Considering Australia's foreign and imigration policies and the fact that almost all the developed world has the same shitty speed cameras and roads I think you guys are much better off than you could be. At least most of the policies are there to help protect the interests of the country rather than pandering to others.
@TVR161 400 grand, 500Hp, super charged to drive where in sydney ......lol with all those speed limit.......no thank you toyota ECHO will just do fine thank you very much mate.......

@1akinwale Maybe, but the thing is , that they are selling a quality,and luxury.

(excuse me a minute....)
HAAHHHAHHAAHHHAHAAA
we also have to pay "we live at the end of the world and theres no market here" tax
2:10 That's got to be some kind of BMW!!
e46 330i me thinks!
LOL worst stig lines ever... i laughed at their terribleness XD
agree
They say 6.3 but it’s 6.2 like the old E63
here in Malaysia,our tax is 200% on top of the same UK selling price.and that doesn't include the road tax and insurance.'politics' are really BS..
OMG 400 Hundred grand in Poland u have for this price brand new S63 AMG with all option or SLS...

See how hard we have it

omfg 400 grand i'd buy a house in the uk and buy it for 140k which is the msrp
My understanding is, 30 year old or older cars are exempt? Because seriously, what a dick move by your government there.
8:29 he thinks this is a soft top....
Sounds like croc dundeee :/
but the luxury car tax is dodgy it doesn't apply to some cars and applies to some cars that aren't bloody luxury like the mustang
did the say 400 hundred grand?? thats way too much for a car that only has 500hp and weighs a ton, mercedes is just trying to sell their name.

Nope 6.2 M-B pulled a quick one on everyone.

More like take money from the more wealthy. But I seriously hope that money is put towards good use...
Which is ridiculous.. for us car lovers
$400,000???!!!!!!
In Canada this starts at $160,000
With 400,000 i could buy this AND an SLR AMG
Poor Aussies.
Love the Merc, hate the show
also the reason behind the luxury car tax is that if you can afford a car like this you should also pay and contribute further to the community.
So socialist.....🤮
Fuck the community
No. The reason behind it is because they can.
Too serious... It's same as fifth gear
1:19.
Its 6.3L.... not 6.2... god dammit.
6208 cc om precies te zijn, maar de Duitse regelgeving schrijft voor dat er naar boven moet worden afgerond, vandaar 6,3.
first
wow so good
thank for upload
this guy is so obsessed with his image lol,its sad
wtf was that track? power track my ass.
Good eye candy but bad review.
top gear australia is really fake.the original top gear is really funny.these people are not any funny.
car is awesome, oz top gear sucks arse, best leave it to clarkson.
I'm fairly forgiving on what I watch but this is really cringeworthy. No wonder it was dropped.
I rather watch MightcarMods than this shit.
