The Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG is now even more powerful and efficient. As part of the "AMG Performance 2015" model strategy, the high-performance car now benefits from the new AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine. This unit, already familiar from the CLS 63 AMG, delivers an output of 386 kW (525 hp) to 410 kW (557 hp), together with an impressive reduction in fuel consumption: the E 63 AMG consumes 9.8 litres per 100 kilometres (Estate 10.0 litres) according to NEDC combined, in other words 22 percent less than its predecessor with the AMG 6.3-litre V8 naturally aspirated engine. As a result the E 63 AMG, which is available in Saloon and Estate variants, is the most efficient vehicle in its class. An important contribution to this is also made by the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, and the newly developed electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering system. Additional assistance systems now also raise occupant safety to a whole new level.
