Mercedes UK announced the pricing details of the new
E63 AMG, set to be delivered this June. Prices start at
£ 78,935 for the entry-level E63 4Matic+ version, with the E63 S 4Matic+ being
more expensive by £ 9,360, starting from £ 88,295. Mercedes also offers the
limited E63 S Edition 1 for £ 106,585.
All versions are powered by AMG’s biturbo 4.0-litre
V8, which makes 571 hp in the regular E63 and 612 hp in the S version. The new Mercedes-AMG E63 can deal
with the standard 0-100 km/h procedure in 3.5 seconds, compared to the 3.4 seconds
for the E63 S. Top speed is limited in both models at 250 km/h, but customers can
choose the AMG Drivers Package which lifts the top speed limiter to 300 km/h.
All
E63s now come with the 4Matic+ all-wheel drive as standard, a freshly
engineered system that also offers a ‘Drift’ mode, during which the car becomes
rear-driven for obvious reasons. The base version of the new super-saloon also comes
with AMG Ride Control sports suspension, 19-inch alloys, Nappa leather
upholstery and a 12.3-inch infotainment system as standard.
The S version adds 20-inch alloys, active dynamic
engine mounts, AMG performance seats and a steering finished in Nappa leather
and microfiber. The limited Edition 1 which is based on the E63 S gets 20-inch
black alloys, Selenite Grey magno paint, AMG night package, yellow contrast
stitching and carbon fiber trim inside among others.
Mercedes-AMG also offers a set of ceramic brakes as
an £ 6,995 option to the E63 S and Edition 1 models, a more vocal exhaust as a
£ 1,000 option and a carbon fiber package which includes a front splitter, side
sills and a rear bumper made from the popular lightweight material.
Prices for the Estate versions of the new
Mercedes-AMG E63 will be announced later in the year.
