Mercedes GLE 450 AMG Coupe Stops in Detroit En Route to Isla Nubar
The Mercedes GLE 450 AMG Coupe that debuted in Detroit at the 2015 North American International Auto Show
From one hellish no-man’s-land to the next – after making its Detroit debut this morning, the Mercedes GLE 450 AMG Coupe is on its way to the Jurassic World amusement park on Isla Nubar.
For the record, the Mercedes GLE 450 AMG Coupe features a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine that yields 362 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, sent to all wheels via a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission – all of which is awesome, but that’s not what gives this vehicle its celebrity status. The car’s stardom is derived from the fact that is will be featured in the upcoming blockbuster Jurassic World, starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and a whole bunch of CGI dinosaurs.
