Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, a famous power couple, started dating in 2008 and married in 2010. Egypt and Genesis are their children, but they also share passions. They love cars and the music industry, where they work. Swizz Beatz’s car collection includes many limited-edition Ferraris and Mercedes-Benzes.
The latter are due to Alicia Keys’ brand ambassadorship with the German brand. Swizz Beatz surprised Alicia with a day at the AMG Driving Academy since they both like adrenaline. The Academy’s Instagram account posted photos from the couple’s fun day, saying it got their “hearts racing in more ways than one,” taking “romantic surprises to the next level.” AMG Driving Academy offers “intense, high-speed, high-adrenaline” experience. Six levels await thrill-seekers: Performance, Advanced, PRO, PRO+, Drift, and Drift+.
In addition to six levels and six vehicles, there are six tracks: Laguna Seca Raceway, The Concours Club, Lime Rock Park, Sonoma Raceway, Road Atlanta, and Circuit of the Americas. Not sure which circuit or level Swizz Beatz chose, but he chose a Mercedes-AMG E-Class. The U.S. Mercedes-Benz E-Class has four flavors. They can choose the E 350, E 350 4MATIC, E 450, and AMG E 53 sedans. In her , adventure-filled day, Alicia drove the E 63 S Sedan, the model’s most powerful E-Class. This powerful E-Class isn’t playing. Its powerful 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine produces 603 hp (612 ps) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm). A multi-clutch nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission distributes V8 power to all four wheels.
The AMG Adaptive Sport air suspension and luxurious cabin make the saloon a smooth ride. The five-passenger saloon can reach 186 mph (299 kph) in 3.3 seconds from a stop. Besides the one Alicia drove, AMG Driving Academy customers have more options. Mercedes-AMG makes the CLA 45 Coupe, C 63 S Sedan, GT Coupe, GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe, and GT R Coupe. Alicia and Swizz took photos in front of the E-Class with a white Mercedes-AMG G 63.
Alicia is familiar with the brand’s powerful cars. She’s driven her Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series P One Edition several times. I guess Swizz Beatz knew how to mix romance and adrenaline for this surprise post-Valentine’s Day date.
