NEW E63 AMG 5.5-litre V8 BiTurbo Engine

The E 63 is now even more powerful and efficient. As part of the "AMG Performace 2015" model strategy, the high- performance vehicle now benefits from the new 5.5 litre V8 biturbo engine. This unit, already familiar from the CLS 63 AMG, delivers an output of 525 hp to 557 hp, together with an impressive reduction in fuel consumption. The E 63 AMG consumes 9.8 litres per 100 kilometres (Estate 10.0 litres) according to NEDC combined, in other words 22 percent less than its predecessor with the AMG 6.3-litres V8 naturally aspirated engine.


An important contribution is also made here by the newly developed electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering system, which only draws power when the vehicle is actually being steered. Additional assistance systems now raise occupant safety to a whole new level.
