Not to be outdone by the M5, AMG has introduced the E63 AMG which puts out
more horsepower with 2 less cylinders. The hand built V8 put outs
514 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque resulting in a 0-62MPH sprint of 4.5
seconds. The AMG sports suspension based on the semi-active air
suspension system AIRMATIC DC includes the Adaptive Damping System ADS II
and allows the driver to choose between more comfortable or very sporty
handling characteristics. The shock absorbers and springs instantly adapt
to the current driving situation, but can also be manually modified in
three stages at the touch of a button. The 8.5 and 9.0-inch wide, titanium
grey, high-sheen 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a new five-spoke design
are fitted with wide-base tires in size 245/40 and 265/35.
The new AMG wheels are not the only distinguishing feature of the E 63 AMG.
A lasting impression is also created by the new, heavily contoured AMG
front apron, large air dams and round foglamps with chrome surrounds. Heat
from the integral, additional engine oil cooler integrated into the front
bumper is able to dissipate via air vents in the sides. This
top-of-the-line E-Class model is also immediately identifiable by the "6.3
AMG" lettering on the front wings. Dynamic side skirts, tinted rear light
clusters in a new design and a redesigned AMG rear apron for the Saloon
impressively round off the visual impact. Both visually and acoustically,
the AMG sports exhaust system with its two twin chrome tailpipes
underlines the dynamic character of the E 63 AMG.
