2013 Mercedes E 63 AMG and AMG S-Model


Besides the normal AMG version, Mercedes will provide an even more powerful version of the E-Class, the AMG S-Model which only comes with the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. For now this AMG versions are only available as an Estate and Saloon.

The 5.5liter bi-turbo V8 produces 410kW (557hp) at 5500rpm and 720Nm at 1750-5250rpm for the normal AMG version, while in the S-Model it has 430kW (585hp) at 5500rpm and 800Nm at 1750-5000rpm. This torque figures allow the RWD Saloon and the Estate to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.2 seconds, but it takes 3.7 seconds (3.8 for the Estate) if you have the AWD 4MATIC system and 3.6 seconds (the Estate takes 3.7) for the S-Model.

Getting all that power to the road requires a lot from the gearbox, so Mercedes fitted the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission with four different modes to keep things smooth. The four modes – "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport plus) and "M" (Manual) – offer the driver a personal set-up. In "C" mode, the ECO start/stop function is active and switches off the eight-cylinder engine when the vehicle is stopped.

The combined fuel consumption (NEDC) is one of the best in its segment, with 9.8l/100km and emissions of 230g/km for the RWD, while the 4MATIC versions varies between 10.3 and 10.5l/100km and emissions range from 242 to 246g/km.
