Get drift mode on your Mercedes-AMG E63, even with all-wheel drive

AMG knows some of their customers prefer to travel (intentionally) sideways, and amid a product blitz the in-house Mercedes tuner plans to throw a bone to the donut crowd. Autocar reports the next-generation AMG E63 will feature a drift mode allowing its 603 horses to go sideways when the model lands at dealerships in 2017.

"It is four-wheel drive, and we’re going to have a drift mode," AMG chairman Tobias Moers told Autocar at the Paris auto show.

How will that work? The E63 won't be spinning all four wheels (entertaining as that would be) but it will be able to send 100 percent of the power to the rear wheels when the situation requires it, such as in an empty parking lot after hours.
