Is Mercedes-Benz Building a 503-HP Van Supercar?

Without much fanfare, Mercedes-AMG—the high-performance tuning arm of Mercedes-Benz—may have just introduced the supercar of full-size vans.

 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. #Mercedes #Benz #Sprinter63 #Sprinter #AMG #instacar #carsofinstagram #germancars #luxury

A mysteriously posted tweet and Instagram post early this morning with a broken out-link suggests that a Mercedes-AMG Sprinter is indeed on its way, replete with the 4.0-liter biturbo V-8 found in both the Mercedes-AMG C63 and GT S.

If the 503-hp van is indeed a reality, and not an early April Fool's Day joke, then it negates what we learned earlier this year from Claus Tritt, who said that no such project was in the works.

Whatever the case, we're angling for the keys.
