Mercedes E63 AMG Test Drive on Racetrack

Acceleration to 100 km/h from a standing start in 3.6 seconds provides the
E 63 AMG S-Model with a comfortable lead over the entire competition; the top speed stands at 250 km/h (electronically limited). In addition to the increase in output, this is also attributable in no small part to the performance-oriented
AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive with a power distribution ratio of 33 to 67 percent (front/rear axle). Perfect traction during acceleration effectively avoids slip-induced losses.
On the new S-Model the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine generates a maximum output of 430 kW (585 hp) and maximum torque of 800 Newton metres -- representing an increase of 20 kW (28 hp) over the AMG Performance package which was previously available as an option. This enhanced performance and power results from adaptation of the engine application, an increase in peak pressure and a rise in the charge pressure from 0.9 to 1.0 bar. At 410 kW (557 hp) and 720 Newton metres, the basic model also boasts an increase of 24 kW (32 hp) and 20 Newton metres over its predecessor.
Despite added power and enhanced performance, all models of the E 63 AMG offer high efficiency, low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions. The AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine remains the most efficient series production V8 engine around -- with substantially more cubic capacity than its direct competitors. The E 63 AMG rated at 410 kW (557 hp) with rear-wheel drive runs on 9.8 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres in accordance with NEDC (230 grams of CO2). The variant with performance-oriented 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the S-Model rated at 430 kW (585 hp) with all-wheel drive display only marginally higher fuel consumption, at 10.3 to 10.5 litres per 100 km (242 grams to 246 grams of CO2). As an additional boon, following the implementation of internal engine measures all E 63 AMGs meet the requirements of the stringent Euro 6 emissions standard which will not
enter into force until 2015.

Maximum individuality and customised dynamics -- these are the special strengths of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission. 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 at a standstill. In addition, the transmission characteristics are tangibly soft, with smooth and early gear changes. Second gear is generally used as the starting gear in this mode.
The engine and transmission are far more agile in "S", "S+" and "M" mode; in addition, the ECO start/stop function is deactivated. Partial suppression of the cylinders proves perfect for an emphatic driving style: briefly and precisely interrupting ignition and injection under full load leads to even faster gearshifts with a more emotional sound than before. An automatic double-declutching function for downshifting and the RACE START function are also included as standard with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission.

Contrary to popular, this is a 4Matic, and MB made gave it a static 33/67 split for a reason. That reason is so that it does NOT drive like an Audi, but still has the feel of a rear wheel drive E63 of the previous gen, but with much more traction. Another reason the split is static and not dynamic like Audi, is to remove the typical DULL feel of a 4WD car on the track. Most 4WD cars redirect to the front wheels to optimize traction, which creates under steer. Static 33/67 split avoids that.

Always a delight to watch an AMG in action

[baltimoremike]

that dude was handling those turns like a champ.

[RACETRM]

This video is a testimony of what happens when you have a constant 33/67 split to the rear wheels. NICE!

[supertrooper]

this is why i'll miss V8 AMGs in the future. 😢

"In a drag race AMG, on a track M5." - That's how it has been for ages, but as of late, the new AMGs have been producing better lap times then similar M division models. For example, the new SL63 beat the M6 around a track, and the C63 Black had a better lap time around the Nurburgring then the M3 GTS. Don't know how this new E63 will fair on the track with it being 4matic and all but I guess we will find out soon.

seeing a car that big perform like that is downright intimidating.

Mercedes in a roar, winding down the road

I WORK IN THE AMG DISTRIBUTING CARS SHOP. I HAD A CHANCE TO DRIVE E 63 AMG 2014 RECENTLY. IT IS METEOR! IT IS MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY! IT IS REVOLUTION! I HAVE NEVER EVER DRIVEN SO FAST ACCELERATING AMG SO FAR! JUST PAY ATTENTION DEAR PEOPLE THAT E 63 IS NOT A CAR FOR FORMULA ONE, IT IS A LONG E CLASS SEDAN BUT IT TAKES 100KM.H, OR 60MILES PER 3.4 SECONDS. DOES IT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU??? PERSONALLY FOR ME IT MEANS SO MUCH NOT BEACAUSE I LOVE SPEED BUT BECAUSE IT IS A REVOLUTION FROM AMG!!!

[Amgbenz]

Nope, AMG has its own separate in-house division specifically for working on ways to get their exhaust to sound as good as they do. They call it the AMG sound studio.

In black paint it was real gangster car.
