Mercedes-AMG has reinterpreted the performance saloon by reshaping the intelligent executive automobile into the most powerful E-Class of all time with the next generation of the E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+. Mercedes-AMG is also setting new benchmarks in this market segment with its innovative technologies.
The intelligent drive strategy raises the limits of the performance saloon’s vehicle dynamics to a completely new level. Delivering superior acceleration, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine generates up to 450 kW (612 hp). This makes it the most powerful engine to have ever been installed in an E-Class.
At the same time it is even more efficient thanks to a cylinder deactivation system fitted as standard, and thus sets the benchmark in its segment. With acceleration of 3.4 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h the new business limousine is at the top of its class. The AMG Speedshift MCT (Multi Clutch Technology) nine-speed sports transmission is combined with a wet start-off clutch for the first time. This enables more agile response times to be achieved.
Another highlight is the completely new AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system. It combines the advantages of various drive configurations. Torque distribution on the front and rear axles that, until now were strongly rear-biased, is fully variable for the first time. This ensures optimum traction right up to the physical limit, whatever the road conditions.
The expressive exterior design, featuring a new radiator grille and coupe-style inset bonnet, underlines the performance figures. The next generation of the E 63 thus offers a completely new level of sportiness and comfort on long journeys.
The latest generation of the E 63 4MATIC+ and the E 63 S 4MATIC+ sees Mercedes-AMG introducing a number of new developments that redefine the performance saloon. Innovative powertrain engineering and maximum performance are combined with distinctive design, exclusive equipment and the latest infotainment features for comprehensive, connected multimedia applications.
The AMG Speedshift MCT nine-speed sports transmission is specially tuned to requirements in the new E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+. This involved re-engineering hardware and software alike. A special software development enables extremely short shift times, fast multiple downshifts and the double-clutching function, making for a highly emotive gear shifting experience. A wet start-off clutch replaces the torque converter. This saves weight and optimizes the response time to the driver’s accelerator pedal input, particularly when accelerating and during load changes.
The interior reinforces the consistently dynamic bias with numerous specially designed details. Ideal for a sporty driving style, the performance sports steering wheel in black leather features a flattened bottom section, Touch Control and electroplated shift paddles, as well as a steering wheel bezel with the AMG logo.
The driver and front passenger enjoy a secure position in the front sport seats even when driving at speed, thanks to the improved lateral support. There is a distinctive seat upholstery layout in black nappa leather/Dinamica microfiber, nut brown nappa leather or macchiato nappa leather. The door center panels match the seat design. AMG Performance seats with integral head restraints can be ordered as an option. Trapezium-grain aluminum trim elements highlight the sporty aspirations.
The AMG instrument cluster places all the important information in the driver’s field of vision. Dials in a chequered-flag look and the distinctive typography lend the large, clearly legible displays an especially sporty touch. The vivid widescreen multifunction display with two monitors is part of the standard equipment for the E 63 S 4MATIC+ and is available as an option for the E 63 4MATIC+. Customers with a passion for motorsport will be pleased to note the race timer for recording lap times on closed-off tracks.
