In addition, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG can be refined even
further with a host of new, attractive optional appointments: as part of the the
designo extended leather appointments II range, the lower section of the
dashboard, the glove compartment lid, the door linings including map pockets and
the side upholstery of the center console are covered in exclusive nappa
leather. This option is only available in conjunction with the extended designo
leather appointments, in which the upper section of the dashboard and the upper
door linings are finished in designo black leather. Those opting to combine both
of these designo options will receive exclusive, perfectly finished full leather
appointments designed to significantly enhance the vehicle's interior.
Decidedly Dynamic Interior and Exterior
The decidedly dynamic
design of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is fully in keeping with the uncompromisingly sporty
technology. The front aspect is characterized by 17-millimeter wider wings
bearing "6.3 AMG" lettering, the AMG front apron with large intake air apertures
and the AMG-specific daytime driving lights in LED technology. In conjunction
with the optional Intelligent Light System (ILS), the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is equipped with
tinted main headlamps. The striking visual presence is further enhanced by the
side sill panels and rear apron with a black insert. As a hallmark of the brand,
the sports exhaust system has two chrome-plated twin tailpipes.
The
interior of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is an exciting blend of high-grade materials and
functional sportiness. Exclusive features include the dedicated, electrically
adjustable sports seats with improved lateral support and the sports steering
wheel in a four-spoke design with shift paddles. The AMG Drive Unit provides
adjustments for the MCT sports transmission, the ESP functions, the suspension
set-up and the AMG drive modes. The E-SELECT selector lever in the center
console enables the driver to shift directly between R, N and D simply by
nudging the lever, all thanks to drive-by-wire, while the parking lock P can
only be selected by pressing a separate button. Standard equipment also includes
high-grade leather upholstery in three different colors, the instrument cluster
with an AMG main menu, door entry sills with AMG lettering and a sports pedal
cluster - both in brushed stainless steel.
The COMAND APS multimedia
system comes with the latest maps free of charge over a period of three years in
39 European countries. Mercedes-Benz partners are able to carry out map updates
on the navigation system during dealership visits. Thanks to the new free map
updates, Mercedes drivers using the COMAND APS will be able to reach their
destination more reliably and quicker.
AMG 6.3-liter V8 Engine
The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG distinguishes itself from the standard E-Class
models with the powerful AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine, the AMG Ride Control sports
suspension with electronically controlled damping and a new front axle, and also
with its unique exterior and interior design. A newly developed ceramic
composite braking system is also optionally available for the top-of-the-range
E-Class model. Thanks to the concerted use of fuel efficiency measures,
Mercedes-AMG has achieved a reduction in fuel consumption by almost twelve
percent in the E63 AMG. The AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine in the E63 AMG develops an
output of 518 hp and a torque of 465 lb-ft, matching the outstanding figures for
the SL63 AMG.
