The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212 and S212) series represent the fourth-generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class range of executive cars, including sedan (W212) and station wagon (S212) configurations. Sold since 2009 (as a 2010 model), it is the successor to the W211/S211 E-Class models. It was introduced in March 2009 for Europe and in July 2009 for North America in the sedan body style. In 2013 (for the 2014 model year), the W212 was comprehensively facelifted, likely the most expensive mid-life facelift in the history of the automobile.
The W212 Mercedes E63 AMG sports sedan was the first model to feature the new AMG design language. This means we can see a new AMG "twin blade" radiator grille in silver chrome, a new AMG front apron with new, three-dimensional air deflector spans. The model has also received a new "A-wing" offered in the same color as the body and featuring a trim strip in silver chrome. Three larger cooling intakes and the new side air intakes will provide better cooling for the V-8 beast found under the hood. The car’s aerodynamics are improved by the addition of a new front splitter and a black rear diffuser with pronounced fins.
Under the hood of the new E63 AMG S-Model, Mercedes has placed an AMG 5.5-liter V-8 biturbo engine that delivers a total of 585 horsepower at 5500 rpm and a peak torque of 590 pound-feet delivered between 1,750 and 5,000 rpm. The engine is mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission featuring four driving programs: "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport plus) and "M" (Manual). The "C" mode is offered for those that want to obtain an improved fuel economy. In "C" mode, the start/stop function is active and it will shut off the eight-cylinder engine when the car is at a standstill. The "S," "S+" and "M" transmission modes will help you obtain faster gearshifts and a more aggressive exhaust note.
The E63 AMG S is offered with a high-performance all-wheel-drive system 4MATIC that sends 33 percent of the engine torque to the front and 67 percent to the rear axle. The model can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.
