Mercedes-Benz has finally lifted the cover off the next generation 2010 E-Class, the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG. Up from the W211 chassis’s 507hp to 518 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque, the new E63 generation sports sedan is poised to deliver top driving performance. AMG is boasting that their tuning team has taken Mercedes’ family sedan to new hights, promising outstanding performance, thrilling handling characteristics and advanced technology as seen from its sibling, the SL63 AMG high-performance Roadster. The 6208cc V8 is mated to the SL’s AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, and together, the E63 AMG accelerates from standstill to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited), all while allowing it to consume 12% less premium petrol than the previous iteration.
The new E63 AMG from Mercedes Benz will get its debut at the New York Auto Show next week, and is expected to make its U.S. sales debut in November 2009. Standard 18-inch or optional 19-inch alloys with matching rubber help transfer all that power to the pavement. Official press release and picture gallery after the jump.

After igniting the war with the first iteration of the 350hp naturally aspirated E55 AMG, upping the game from the first BMW M5s, Mercedes-Benz’s in-house tuning arm, AMG, has decided to turn with the tide and call an end to the horsepower wars, with the division boss Volker Mornhinweg saying, “We are going to use other ways to extract better performance, including weight saving, engine optimization and alternative technologies.”
So how are they going to keep from sullying the good name of AMG? Getting the most out of the least. AMG is going to do that by losing weight, installing tech like the SL63 AMG’s wet clutch gearbox on the coming E63 AMG, and possibly re-engineering Mercedes’ diesel, hybrid, and four-cylinder engines for AMG duty.

Loads of spy photos of the forthcoming 2010 Mercedes E-Class emerge, with spy shots giving us a fresh look at both the 2010 Mercedes Benz E Class and the 2010 Mercedes E63 AMG. Just like previous spy shots, both the headlights and taillights of the next E-Class remain heavily disguised, but the side contours are almost distinguishable despite the heavier camouflage over both the front and rear wheel arches.
As for the technical specifications of the 2010 Mercedes E63 AMG (internally named the W212 E class), power is expected to be supplied courtesy of the 6.2-Liter AMG V8 featured in the current Mercedes E Class, and 0-62 mph time should remain consistent with the outgoing model (about 4.5 seconds). Completing the package will most likely be the usual array of AMG-tuned goodness, including a high performance braking system, sport suspension system, etc.
Hit the jump for the full range of spy photos. Read the rest of this entry »
