Mercedes E63S AMG

The AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ is essentially the fastest sedan in the entire AMG portfolio. It is the meanest an E AMG can be.E63 S AMG gets a massive 4.0L V8 biturbo churning out 612 hp and 850 Nm mated to a 9-speed multi-clutch transmission unit as its heart and soul. Also present is the 4MATIC+ AWD system. This sedan can sprint to triple-digit speeds from a standstill in just 3.4 seconds and the top speed is 300 km/h.

In terms of design, the E63 S is vaguely the same as the E53. However, look closely and you will find it meaner and more aggressive. The bumper looks more aggressive, the rear diffuser is new, exhaust tips have squared-off designs, and the wheels are 20 inchers! The cabin remains more or less the same as that of the E53. The E 63S is priced from 1.70 crores, ex-showroom.

Sensational young Indian racer Arjun Maini, the first Indian to race at DTM with the Mercedes AMG team, shared his experience driving the E63 S 4M+ at Autobahn, on the occasion of its Indian debut.

“I drove the car on the Autobahn at 300 kmph and returned thoroughly impressed with its top-end performance, as I strongly relate this vehicle’s driving dynamics to that of the GT3 which I am currently driving at the DTM. The AMG E 63 S 4M+ with its efficient V8 mill and an effective 4MATIC+ drive greatly enhances the driving experience. It has brilliant driving dynamics and a solid engine performance. At the same time, the sedan’s luxury and comfort features are quite remarkable for a track car of its calibre and I would love to use it for daily driving or even for long drives.”
