Having 612 PS and 850 Nm of torque should be enough for most Mercedes-AMG E63 S Estate owners.
After all, in stock form, the executive wagon takes as little as 3.5 seconds to
go from a standstill to 100 km/h and maxes out at 250 km/h in EU-spec.
Wwhy settle for less when you can have more?
This must be what Wheelsandmore thought when they came up with a few mods for
the E63 S Estate. The most significant one is a tuning box, which costs € 3,200
(US$ 3,763) in Germany and will bump the power of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 to
712 PS and 965 Nm of torque.
With this upgrade installed, the super estate’s
0-100 km/h sprint drops by a few tenths of a second, getting
perilously close to proper supercars. There are two lesser versions of the
so-called ‘tuning box’. When selected, these allow the powertrain to produce
650 PS and 920 Nm of torque, and 680 PS and 960 Nm of torque. Besides the extra
muscle, upgrading the ECU also gets rid of the speed limiter and allows the
Merc to hit its true max speed, although the tuner hasn’t released any numbers
yet.
Wheelsandmore have covered the ‘wheels’ part, too,
and this E63 S Estate sits on 10×21-inch front and 11×21-inch rear F.I.W.E.
rims shod with 265/30 and 295/25 Michelin tires. Said to provide “a perfect
match with the modified wheel-tire combination” is the standard air suspension,
which was height adjusted by using adjustable coupling bars.
