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.

The new generation E 63 AMG based on the W212 platform, was first unveiled at the New York International Auto Show.
Sporting the new look of the current E-Klasse, the AMG version receives a wider chassis and various aerodynamic body features. The main ingredient behind this thriller, however, remains the insanely buffed natural aspirated V8 6.3-liter engine. This new E 63 AMG model comes equipped with a SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, that can change gears in 100 milliseconds. Another impressive feature on the AMG is the newly developed AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with electronically controlled damping.

Refreshed in 2006, the MB E-Klasse also saw the arrival a new AMG-tuned model, built to the exact specifications of the perfection obsessed company.
Unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, the new E 63 AMG caused quite a fuss among both auto writers and driving enthusiasts. The car’s core is a normally aspirated V8 petrol plant capable of 514 bhp and 630 Nm of maximum torque. Power is mated to an extensive range of safety features, including the crash-prevention Pre-safe system while vision is enhanced thanks to the Intelligent Light System. Rearview mirror threats are also minimized with the introduction of adaptive brake lights.

By 2002, the entire E-Klasse had already gone through significant changes, having arrived as a visually refreshed vehicle fitted with a range of peppy engines and a redesigned interior.
The blokes over at AMG couldn’t keep their hands off the E models and delivered yet another performance model, the 55 AMG. Powered by a larger 5.4 L V8 petrol engine, the car came with standard impressive speed figures. Style and comfort weren’t left aside either with the E 55 having been released with 18” alloys, heated front seats and Xenon headlights, among others. Other options included a power sunroof, a CD changer and a digital phone.

Following a similar fate as nearly all production MB models, the E-Klasse received its own flagship with the arrival of the performance tuned E 55 AMG.
Naturally, the car came with an over-sized AMG classic 5.0 Liter V8 petrol unit that developed 347 hp and close to 490 Nm of max torque, making the car just a little too furious for everyday usage. However, thanks to fine adjustments and an overall impressive responsiveness, the AMG was as good to drive around town as it was to cruise at high speeds. Control is further enhanced by a choice of a “smart” 5-speed automatic transmission which can memorize gear-shit patterns to aid the driver.

The w210 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E50 AMG was only built for a year, but it was enough to shake the Mercedes world.
The mid-size sedan was able to sprint, and roar.

After BMW took the charge with the sport-sedan BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz had to give a proper answer to the Bavarian car-maker and its most fierce competitor. They assigned the AMG tuner to work their magic on the car and the result exceeded expectations.

From the outside, the E50 AMG was hard to distinguish from the regular E-Class. There was a slightly different front bumper. The main difference was at the wheels, which featured a different design with a big center and five wide and short spokes. In the back, since the exhaust pipes were hidden under the rear apron, it was even harder for someone to tell the difference, apart from the chromed E50 badge, which was a zero cost to remove it from the factory.

The interior was usually black with bucket seats in the front and side bolstering. While the E-Class was oriented for a comfortable ride, the AMG was focused on the performance side. The instrument cluster was almost identical with the rest of the range, except for the AMG badge on the speedometer.

The E50 AMG featured the same basic 5.0-liter V8 engine from the E500 model, but with different headers and injection settings. It offered 347 hp and it was mated to a standard 5-speed automatic gearbox. The official record stated that the car was able to rocket from 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in 6.2 seconds, but independent tests showed that it could get as low as 5.8 seconds.
