The new generation Mercedes-AMG E63 is now available for order in its
home market, with others to follow soon. Powered by the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8
engine that pumps out 571 PS and 750 Nm of torque, the AMG
E63 is the most affordable member, carrying a starting price of € 109,837. Despite being the entry-level model here, 0 to 100 km/h comes in a mind-boggling 3.5 seconds.
For € 121,618, the more potent AMG E63 S
becomes available, using the same lump as the aforementioned model but massaged
to deliver 612 PS and 850 Nm of torque. This allows for
the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration to be made in just 3.3 seconds.
Both cars use a standard 9-speed automatic
transmission that channels the output to the 4Matic AWD. Moreover, the
eight-cylinder engine can shut down one cylinder bank with the cylinder
deactivation system, improving fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in 'Comfort'
mode.
Celebrating the launch of the new Mercedes-AMG E63
is the E63 S 4Matic+ Edition 1, an 'exclusive and distinctive offering', as the
Germans state. This is available in design selenite grey magno paint finish, or
the optional design night black magno, and features stripes across the side
sill panels, special 20-inch forged wheels, and the AMG Night package.
Inside, it gets black Nappa leather upholstery with
yellow stitching, color-coordinated upper part of the dashboard, center
console, sports steering wheel, floor mats, and analogue clock, with an IWC
design. There are also carbon fiber trim elements to enhance its sportier
stance. Prices for the special edition kick off from € 136,910.
All three models will arrive at dealers across
Germany this spring.
