The best E63 ever made is no more; here's what to look for when buying a used V8 AMG icon 👀
Note for reference: car weight and power data are hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.Twin-scroll turbos were used for the first time on the direct-injection 4.0 V8 in the new W/S213 E63s.
The 4.0 V8 might not have had the sheer cubic capacity of the old NA 6.2 but somehow AMG Mercedes managed to make it sound like an acceptable substitute for the original Hades chariot, especially when the performance exhaust was fitted. OK, it didn’t quite have the chest-beating depth of the big motor’s NASCAR gargle, but the 4.
Regular E63s had a mechanical limited slip diff on the rear axle while the S had a faster-acting electronic one. Standard on all models was three-mode AMG Ride Control adaptive air suspension that had been tweaked to deliver a little more comfort than the previous E63. Not sure how successful that was because even in its softest mode it wasn’t at its best on busted British byways. Maybe that’s our fault for having rubbish roads.
Standard wheels for the regular E63 were five twin-spoke 19-inch AMGs, going up to 20-inch for the E63 S and the Edition 1 which had 7-twin-spoke items in matt black with polished rims. Both E63 S versions had dynamic engine mounts, stiffening for extra precision in hard driving and softening for more comfort in gentler driving.
You can understand why the estate was adopted as the official F1 medical car. Not only was it pigging quick and only 0.1sec slower through the 0-62mph than the lighter saloon, its cargo capacity of 1,820 litres with the 40/20/40 back seats electronically folded down made it the biggest in the performance estate sector. You could boost that by another 30 litres by tilting the rear seat backs forward by ten degrees, a typically thoughtful Benz touch.
