Vehicle Overview

The 2013 E63 was just the kind of car for someone who was looking for a sports car but didn’t want to stand out with an opulent CLS and also didn’t want to lose the elegance of a premium elegance and comfortable sedan.

There were some clues to reveal the beast hidden under the somehow conservative sedan. First, it was the grille with the characteristics horizontal chromed double-bar that emerged from the side to the center Mercedes-Benz badge. Then, there were the large air-scoop on the lower part of the bumper and big side-scoops meant for cooling the brakes.

Inside, the car was just a luxurious sedan, with bucket-seats upfront and a wide bench-seat in the rear. Of course, the technology available for the driver was up to date, with a premium infotainment system and all the comfort features for the era, including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats plus a specific design for the gear lever.

But the real magic was under the bodywork. Apart from the specification sheet, there were some more details involved in the AMG E63 E-Class. The AMG Carbo-ceramic larger brakes, the adaptive air suspension, and the special AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission. The fast sedan could do a 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint in 3.7 seconds. The AMG 4Matic all-wheel-drive system sent the engine torque was distributed to the front and rear axles at a ratio of 33 to 67 percent, but that could be changed if the road conditions were imposed up to a 70 to 30 or 30 to 70 percent.
