Mercedes-Benz revealed the facelifted
fifth-generation E-Class late last month, which means it will apply
similar updates to the range-topping version of the series, the mighty AMG E63.
Spied in motion at the track and on public roads several times these past few
months in both sedan and estate body styles, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 has
returned to the Nurburgring for some more fine-tuning, and our photographers
were present to capture it on camera once again.
Judging by the license plates of the
four-door model, this is the same car as the one we saw on video at the end of
May, which made our day better with its beastly V8 soundtrack. Speaking of the
engine, it will retain the 4.0-liter displacement unit and will continue to be
offered with two outputs. The current E63 has 563 HP, whereas
the E63 S boasts 603 HP and does the 0-100 km/h in
3.5 seconds.
While we don’t know yet whether the engine
has been updated in any form, to drop emission levels, develop more power or
both, we can tell you about the biggest visual upgrade, which is the restyled
Panamericana grille. A signature feature of all modern high-end AMGs, the
revised front grille will be joined by a redesigned front bumper with a wider
lower air intake. Chrome strips were also placed at the back, between the
bumper and diffuser and on the boot lid, and more chrome elements can be found
on the side skirts, door handles, and window surrounds.
The 2021 E63 is likely a few weeks away
from its premiere so stay tuned for more info as we receive them.
