Vehicle Description

MSRP $116965.00 4-mattic P03 AMG Premium Package. 319 AMG Advanced Lighting Package. 445 Warmth and Comfort Package 20 inch AMG Wheels After driving the latest E63, it seems nave to have been worried about the effects of the reduced, 4.0-liter displacement. Power builds instantly and it consistently builds all the way to the 7000-rpm redline. A nine-speed planetary-gear automatic, introduced in the E300 last fall, is strengthened to cope with the engines 627 lb-ft of torque. In place of the conventional E-classs torque converter is AMGs wet multiplate clutch, which delivers fairly smooth starts from a stop and allows for aggressive launch-control starts. Shifts are snapped off with increasing urgency as you cycle from Comfort mode to Sport to Sport+ and finally to Race. Even with nine speeds to shuffle through, the transmission never acts busy or out of sorts. Multigear downshifts happen quickly, and theres none of the incessant shifting that plagues other nine-speed automatics. Top gear is tall for better fuel economy and quietness, reducing engine revs to below 2000 rpm at 80 mph. Its a little odd that theres a column shifter in a car with this much power, but we cant say we miss having a shifter between the seats. Wed feel differently if it were a manual shifter, though. Mercedes-Benz claims a believable zero-to-60-mph time of 3.3 seconds for the S and 3.4 seconds for the base version. Launch-control actuation has been greatly simplified. Instead of the convoluted ritual of the past (select Race, pull both paddles, place foot on brake, wait for the display to signal the car is ready, confirm with the right paddle, floor the accelerator while simultaneously releasing the brake), launch control now is available in Sport, Sport+, and Race modes. Theres no need to pull the paddlessimply enable launch control, push the brake with your left foot, and floor the accelerator. Revs are held at up to 4000 rpm and can be lowered using the paddles on the steering wheel. Release the brake, and the E63 shoots forward as the all-wheel-drive system scrambles to get the torque to the ground. All-wheel drive is a welcome ally for the boosted V-8. Unlike its predecessor, which had a fixed torque split, the new E63s torque split can vary on the fly with up to 100 percent directed rearward. This is enabled by a new clutch pack in the transfer case that constantly engages and disengages clutches that distribute torque. In back, an electronically controlled locking differential shared with the C63 varies the lockup to minimize inside wheelslip in corners and, according to AMG, helps drivers approach and drive at the E63s limits. The new system allows Mercedes-AMG to add a Drift mode that will send 100 percent of the engines torque to the rear, making it a rear-drive car. On the road, the E63 S has the same dual personality as an E300. As youd expect, the AMGs shifts toward the sporty end of the spectrum, but when youre trundling around with the car set in Comfort, its quiet, the ride isnt jarring, and the engine can run on four cylinders. Even in its most relaxed setting, the steering is heavy, but it gets much heavier in the more serious settings. Feedback through the steering wheel is good, yet theres enough typical Mercedes-Benz creaminess to make the car read as supremely refined when youre not driving it hard. Switching to Sport and beyond not only stiffens the three-chamber air springs, firms up the adaptive dampers, quickens shifts, and increases steering effort; it also causes the audio systems speakers to amplify the engines noise. Its cheating, but its cheating for our teamand, more important, it doesnt sound fake. Thats the V-8 playing through the speakers. From the outside, the Sport exhaust barks with the same anger as AMGs old naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 when under load. When cruising along on the highway, where 100 mph feels more like 60, the engine sound is subdued and never tiresome.
