Mercedes E63 AMG pics and details
The Mercedes E63 AMG is a hot-looking and fast-running new AMG model from the brand that has been revealed at the 2011 New York Auto Show. The E63 AMG is equipped with the new 5.5-litre V8 twin turbo M157 engine which we’ve already seen on the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG. The E-Class AMG will be offered in two powersteps of 525 and 557 hp. The later is the AMG Performance Package, which also takes torque from 700 to 800 Nm.
According to Mercedes, the new V8, which gets Start&Stop technology, consumes 22 percent less fuel that the previous model, down to 9.8 l/100 km with CO2 emissions of 230 g/km. Transmission is the seven-speed Speedshift MCT gearbox with driving modes of Controlled Efficiency, Sport, Sport+ and Manual. Handling is managed by the AMG Ride Control system with seven different suspension settings and a new hydro-electric steering set-up.
New 18-inch wheels get 255/40 tyres up front and 285/35 at the rear. An optional carbon-ceramic braking system is available which reduces the brake weight by 40 percent. The E63 AMG gets to 100 km/hr in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed of 250 km/hr. That can be raised to 300 km/hr with a new package which also includes a sports driving course. The AMG Performance Package throws in a carbon-fibre engine cover, Alcantara sports steering wheel, red brake callipers and some carbon-fibre trim on the front bumper.

Susie Stoddart track drives the Mercedes E63 Estate: in stilettos?!
In this video, a hot Susie Stoddart takes the Mercedes E63 AMG V8 with 518 hp out for a drive, dressed to kill for what would be a night on the town. I still don’t believe she did those slides in heels, but then that could just be my cynicism coming out, or my own need to change my shoes between driving and dancing at the disco.

Mercedes E63 AMG video
If it’s middle-aged men with grey hair who get to drive the Mercedes E63 AMG, then I want to be a middle-aged man with grey hair who can drive like this. If you thought Mercedes sedans were just for people like your dad, you might want to reconsider (the car or who you thought your father was). The Mercedes E63 AMG still has the 6.2-litre V8 AMG engine, and although the new 5.5-litre (to appear on the new Mercedes CLS) will have more horse power and plenty of torque, after seeing this video we wonder if it will give us quite the same emotion…
Mercedes C63 AMG impounded: Hamilton world's greatest hoon
After being served a notice and having his Mercedes C 63 AMG impounded, McLaren F1 driver Lewis Hamilton could become the world’s most famous and capable hoon - or at least Australia’s most famous and capable, according to Car Advice. On practicing a few burn outs outside the Albert Park F1 circuit, Hamilton was served a summons and had his car impounded in what will go down as Australia’s most high profile “hoon” arrest.
As Car Advice reports, Hamilton is most likely the most famous hoon ever arrested in the state of Victoria, Australia, and certainly the richest, earning more than 22 million euros a year. He joins a list of famous hoons, including:
Victoria’s youngest hoon, Laney Frankland, 5, whose 49cc minibike was impounded when Victorian police swooped as the girl rode the bike in parkland under parental supervision. The title of oldest Victorian hoon is also hotly contested – on February 28 this year a 90-year-old man stormed past the previous 80-year-old 150km/h record holder to become the state’s oldest hoon after driving drunk at more than 20km/h over the speed limit.

Mercedes E63 AMG vs Cadillac CTS V
The guys from Motor Trend love their Cadillac CTS-V. The American sports sedan has 556 hp and 750 Nm of torque, and has already beaten the BMW M5 and the new Jaguar XFR in two previous challenges from Motor Trend. This time, though, they’re trying it against the Mercedes E 63 AMG sports sedan offering.
The Mercedes has 525 hp and 630 Nm of torque, but performance between the two is very close with the Cadillac making it to 100 km/hr in 4.5 seconds and with a top speed of 308 km/hr. The E 63 has a top speed of 300 km/hr but is slightly faster in the sprint to 100 km/hr, completing it in 4.2 seconds.
The E 63 is equipped with some impressive Mercedes/AMG technology, with a 6.2-litre V8 engine and super-fast seven speed paddle shift which has a sports mode option (this might also explain the 40,000 euros more on the price tag). It’s clear the Americans love their Cadillac CTS-V, but this time Mercedes might just have the edge.
Mercedes E 63 AMG best sedan for Autobild
More “best cars for 2009″ news comes with Autobild readers (unsurprisingly?) voting the Mercedes E63 AMG the best sports sedan of the year. Second in the list was the Audi RS6, 11 percentage points behind the Mercedes. If you like the E63 AMG, you’d best get your cheque book out because it costs somewhere around the 111,500 euros mark. The E63 AMG station wagon, which will be on the market from February next year, will have a slightly higher cost again.
Mercedes E 63 AMG station wagon new pics
These new pics show the Mercedes E 63 AMG Station Wagon and while they’re not many, they demonstrate the important stuff is all under the bonnet, and in the substance of the car itself. This is not just an update to get greater power and performance, but can also be considered a mini-overhaul of the chassis, steering, suspension and brakes to achieve a sportier driving style.
The E 63 AMG Station Wagon is equipped with a 6.2-litre V8 with 525 hp and 630 Nm, combined with the AMG Speedshift MCT. This automatic transmission has seven speeds and a multidisc wet clutch which contributes to the sprint to 100 km/hr in just 4.6 seconds.
A throttle-blipping feature is included and the chassis has greater stability, with AMG Ride Control to electronically manage the suspension. A cooling system has been devised exclusively for track use and the steering has been firmed up for greater precision. The AMG E 63 should debut around Europe later this year and early next.

Mercedes E 63 AMG Station Wagon render
Here’s a rendering of the Mercedes E 63 AMG Station Wagon, giving us an idea of what the final product might look like. The guys at Motorendering have designed this image of the sports model station wagon.
The E 63 Station is going to be more than just your average family wagon, though the engine choice won’t be anything over-the-top. It will be equipped with a 6.2-litre V8 AMG at 525 hp and 630 Nm, which is more than enough to get the kids to school and enjoy the drive while you’re at it.
The new Speedshift MCT transmission will be used, featuring seven speeds and steering wheel paddle. The wet multidisc clutch present on the SL63 will be included, with the four modes: Controlled Efficiency, Sport, Sport Plus and Manual. Throttle-blipping and AMG Drive Unit will be part of the package.
Mercedes E63 AMG pics and details
The Mercedes E63 AMG has been confirmed in its 6.2 litre V8 “hand-made” at 525 hp and 630 Nm, with dynamism and versatility being the key to this project. The frightening performance, with 0-100 reached in 4.5 seconds, isn’t the only focus, though.
The first example of cutting edge technology comes with the Speedshift MCT transmission at seven-speeds with paddle shift and multidisc wet clutch, previously presented on the SL63. Other features include Controlled Efficiency, Sport, Sport Plus, and Manual modes, with AMG Drive Unit and throttle-blipping function.
Chassis and suspension technology has also been updated, with an all new electronics system called AMG Ride Control, though emissions and consumption themes still take over, even with this incredibly powerful vehicle. Fuel consumption is down by 12 percent at 12.6 litres per 100 km.
Cadillac CTS-V: faster than the E63 AMG and M5
The first road test, undertaken by the guys at Edmunds, has proved the verdict already produced on the corners of the Nurburgring: the new Cadillac CTS-V puts paid to European rivalry. That’s right - the American car is faster than the Mercedes E63 and the BMW M5.
Even on the straight the Cadillac demonstrated more speed than the German competition. The turbo charged 6.2 litre V8 makes 0-400 metres in 12.5 seconds, with exit speed of 185.6 km/hr - leaving its rivals at 12.7 seconds and 181.9 km/hr.
The Cadillac even came off better in braking and through the slalom, with maximum speed at 114.5 km/hr superior to the 110.3 of the BMW and the 104.7 of the Mercedes. For more gallery shots, go to the jump.
