Not every manufacturer can assemble a wonderful product in one model. appearance, insanely comfortable and technological interior, as well as powerful motor. But Mercedes could - this is how the Mercedes E63 AMG 2018 was born, which is one of the fastest and most luxurious stock cars. Of course, its cost will go through the roof, but in this case this should not stop anyone, because new model is almost perfect.
It's hard to find something angrier in appearance than new body this renowned model. The designers of the company did their best and created ideal project both in terms of aerodynamics and style. The muzzle of the car is low, decorated with a wavy hood on top, slightly inclined towards the road. Next is the main air intake system - oval, inside which there is a division of the grid into parts using chrome strips. A huge company sign flaunts right there. A high-quality small optics filled with xenon was placed next to the grille.
The entire lower part of the bumper is filled with air intakes. In total, you can see three of them in the photo - two huge ones on the sides, as well as one more in the very center, which is a narrow strip.
Restyling brought practically nothing new to the profile part of the car. It still remains very long, slightly wavy, with large windows, some relief over the entire body area, stylish wheels and a small cutout just to the right of the front arch.
The rear end is also beautifully and aggressively executed. At the very top, it is quite narrow, but the closer to the road, the wider the bumper becomes. Decorations here are a ledge on the trunk, which plays the role of a spoiler, several thin lines of stops, massive traditional optics and a pair of twin pipes exhaust system.
Salon
By tradition, the interior of Mercedes is one of the richest and most technologically advanced in the world. New Mercedes E63 AMG 2018 model year has a similar interior layout with other models of the company, but everything here is finished with exclusively premium materials: leather, carbon fiber, alcantara and high-quality metals.
The center console is sure to surprise anyone here. It is a large panel divided into two equal parts. The display is on the right multimedia system, which controls almost all functions of the machine, and on the left is the instrument panel. It is completely electronic and appears only when the ignition is active. In the center of the shield is a large digital speedometer, and around the perimeter of the device there is a scale with revolutions. All other space is occupied on-board computer, on which you can display almost any information about the car.
The instrument console is separated from the tunnel next to small round deflectors. The tunnel itself is finished almost completely with carbon fiber, only the armrest is made of leather. On the main part, you can see a panel with a washer and a handle for controlling the transmission, a small compartment for things covered with a flap, as well as two rows with buttons that allow you to adjust everything that is in the cabin from the options. Also, some functions are activated from the steering wheel, the look of which is simply chic, as is the quality of the finish.
Armchairs in front are made in the form of buckets, which, in addition to high level security, they can also provide comfort. The back row is designed for three passengers, but it will be most convenient for two. Each seat has heating and ventilation, and the front seats can be adjusted in several directions and large ranges.
Although the car is considered a sports car, its luggage compartment it can fit several bags, which makes it more or less convenient for everyday use in urban environments. The back row, unfortunately, cannot be folded, so traveling without additional devices will be problematic.

Competitors
It is unlikely that anyone will be able to adequately compete in comfort with Mercedes, but in terms of speed and controllability, the worst rivals come on his heels - and. With each update, these models are getting better and better, and it is still not clear who is cooler.
One week before official premiere in Detroit, the first photo appeared on the network updated sedan Mercedes E63 AMG 2014 (W212), and on January 10, the German automaker officially introduced another new product, both in the sedan and wagon at once.
Like other restyled "yeshki", the charged version lost its two-section head optics, having received one-piece headlight blocks. Also, the car got a different radiator grille with a double rib and a large Mercedes emblem on it.
Options and prices Mercedes E63 AMG 2015
The E63 AMG 2015 (W212) version differs from the usual sedan in a different front bumper with a splitter and large side air intakes connected by a slot. The car also sports a small spoiler on the trunk lid, a door sill, a diffuser in rear bumper and four trapezoidal exhaust pipes.
Compared to its predecessor, the new interior can be distinguished by a new instrument panel and steering wheel, as well as a redesigned center console with a clock between the ventilation deflectors. characteristic features sports modification are metal pedals and rich finishes.
under the hood updated Mercedes The E63 AMG (2014-2015) houses an upgraded 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that now produces 557 hp. against the previous 525, and the maximum torque is 720 Nm. The engine is aggregated in tandem with a 7-speed automatic transmission AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT, which has four modes of operation.
From zero to hundreds, the sedan accelerates in 4.2 seconds (0.1 seconds faster than the pre-styling version). But from now on, the E63 AMG W212 can be ordered with the proprietary 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. This version is gaining 100 km / h from a standstill in just 3.7 seconds.
But that's not all. Now the line has a version with the prefix S-Model. Such a car is offered only with all-wheel drive and is distinguished by the presence of a lock rear differential, as well as boosted to 585 horses and 800 Nm of engine.
The top Mercedes E63 AMG 4MATIC S-Model picks up a hundred from a standstill in 3.6 seconds, but the maximum speed of all versions is the same - the electronic limiter is triggered at around 250 km / h.
Externally, you can distinguish the S-Model modification by ten-spoke 19-inch rims on tires measuring 255 / 35R19 in front and 285 / 30R19 in the rear, as well as a chrome splitter and rear trim. On regular versions, these elements are painted in body color.
Optionally for the Mercedes E63 AMG 2015, powerful ceramic brakes with perforated discs with a diameter of 360 mm and silver calipers are offered for regular version, or with red for S-Model.
Price in Russia new Mercedes E63 AMG 2015 is 5,790,000 rubles, and its all-wheel drive modification is estimated at 6,290,000 rubles.
Today we will talk not about the good old Mercedes E-class in the back of the W124, but about the new charged W213 with a capacity of 612 hp. With. - Mercedes-AMG E 63 S with 4Matic + all-wheel drive. This means that in the car the connected four-wheel drive, not permanent. Under the hood is a V8 with 2 turbines and a power of 612 hp. With. and a volume of 4 liters. To effectively cool such a motor, 2 oil coolers and 2 liquid intercoolers in addition to regular radiators. The same motor is installed in the Mercedes GT AMG, only its power is slightly less - 571 hp. With. In the E 63 S, the engine was boosted to 612 hp. With.
The gearbox here is a 9-speed automatic, but without a torque converter, which was replaced by a package of wet clutches. It is better not to turn on the Comfort mode, because the car will drive sluggishly, the box will be stupid, there is a start-stop function and half of the cylinders will turn off at low loads. All this special drive does not give. Therefore, it is better to always drive in Sport mode, the car can accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds if you start from 2 pedals.
So the main differences between the E-class AMG and the usual E-class are that:
- the AMG uses a wet multi-plate clutch, not a torque converter;
- in E 63 AMG - an electromechanical clutch, and not a symmetrical center differential, as on a conventional “yeshka”.
But in general, there is the usual hydromechanics 9G-Tronic, in which there are 4 planetary gears, mechatronics, which is installed in the crankcase with fins. stands behind multi-link suspension, her in division of AMG seriously modified, increased rigidity, put the original subframe, thanks to which it was possible to place the wheels wider. There are also other gearbox mounts and hubs that differ from the standard ones that are on the E-class.
The front suspension does not differ much from the front suspension of the usual E-class, there is also an aluminum 2-arm. The design is exactly the same - conventional air springs and single-tube shock absorbers, the only difference is that the stabilizers and hinges have become more rigid.
The car has a new all-wheel drive 4Matic +. If usually on charged E-class Mercedes there was only rear drive, now they decided to make all-wheel drive, when necessary, traction is transmitted to the front wheels using an electromechanical clutch, usually the car drives only on rear-wheel drive, and during powerful overclocking and a sharp turn, the front wheels are also connected to make the car more stable.
Both BMW and Mercedes decided that such a plug-in all-wheel drive is more efficient than a permanent one, because with the help of a plug-in all-wheel drive, traction can be more accurately distributed between the axles. If you go to the track, you immediately need to switch the settings to Race mode, or you can simply switch to Sport.
The interior is made in a sporty style - everything is trimmed with carbon fiber and aluminum, even the steering wheel is trimmed, as in racing cars. In the center is an exclusive watch from IWC. The multimedia system here is designed for driving on the track, there is telemetry that analyzes how fast the car overcomes turns. The instrument panel also has special AMG-graphics, the panel can display the current torque, power, boost pressure, oil temperature and other indicators. AMG seats are a little cramped, they have heating, but no ventilation, and it is useless in a car sharpened by sports.
The roar from the AMG engine is quite pleasant, especially when driving in Sport + and Race modes. There is also a button near the multimedia system remote control, pressing which will open additional dampers on the exhaust pipes and the exhaust sound will become even more bass.
In Race mode, the car behaves completely differently, it is possible to experience all the advantages of all-wheel drive when on high speed you enter sharp turns how the car balances traction. If you start accelerating sharply, then all 4 wheels will start to take off evenly. For lovers of drifting, there is a Drift setting, to switch to this mode, you just need to switch the gearbox to manual mode, turn off the ESP, turn on the Race, then pull 2 petals towards you and the Drift mode will turn on and you can smoke without restrictions.
The car weighs almost 2 tons, but there is nothing special in the chassis - more rigid silent blocks and 3-chamber air springs with more stringent characteristics are used. There are also active hydraulic mounts at the motor, but otherwise there are no differences from the usual E-class. But the car enters the corners perfectly, the control is really like on a sports car.
But the steering wheel is heavy at any setting other than Comfort. The suspension is stiff too comfort mode, and in the Race mode it is especially hard that you can feel the grain of the asphalt. While the alternative from BMW - the M5 in the back of the G30 has not yet come out, on the market of charged premium sedans there is Lexus GS F, Cadillac CTS-V. Audi only has a liftback and an RS station wagon.
If the car drives fast, then it must be able to brake quickly, so here there are 6-piston calipers on the front wheels, and floating single-piston calipers on the rear wheels. There are ordinary cast-iron brakes, they are painted black or red. But there are also expensive carbon-ceramic discs, golden calipers go to them, carbon-ceramic can be ordered as an option.
The price of the Mercedes-AMG E 63 will be known in March 2017, according to tentative data, the E63 will be about 1.5 million rubles more expensive. So, E63 AMG will cost about 6.5 million rubles. And E63 AMG S - 7 million. S is more expensive because it is more powerful and better equipped - there are active hydraulic mounts, an electronic rear differential lock and 20-inch wheels.
The trunk volume is 540 liters, the backrests can be folded back, there is no underground, because there are parts from the pneumatic rear suspension. On rear seats everything is the same as in the standard E-class, only there are no pockets on the back of the front seats. Externally E-class AMG can be immediately distinguished by the monogram on the front fender, and if you look from behind, then the twin pipes, spoiler and bumper with diffuser will say that this is an AMG.
Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach (the first two words are the names of the founders, the third is the location of the company's first headquarters) - AMG for short, has been processing power Mercedes sedans into a very powerful technique that can completely grind tires to dust with just one hard press of the gas pedal to the floor.
The first sedan in the AMG stable was the very aggressively tuned W109 300 SEL 6.8, which was prepared specifically for racing. serial engine replaced by a more powerful V8 with a working volume of 6.8 liters with a return of 400 hp. Then came the turn of the popular W123. The company showed how fast a "sofa carrier" can be.
The W124 model has already received several charged versions: 300E AMG Hammer, E36 AMG and E60 AMG. Their forces were distributed in the range from 272 to 381 hp. This was enough to turn the honest Merce into a real torpedo.
More than 20 years have passed and the premium business sedan from Stuttgart in the AMG version has got a 5.5-liter unit under the hood with a capacity of 558 hp. The letter S at the end means that the engine develops 585 hp. It was such a car, in the toughest performance, that I got for the test.
Many admirers of the brand begin to yawn with boredom when they see the face of the restyled W212 with “merged” headlights. Unfortunately, "speed freaks" also apply to the super-fast AMG-S, which is different from the usual civil version aggressive façade, predatory lines of the front fenders with the V8 Biturbo nameplate, huge 19 and 20-inch rims, behind which hefty brake discs with giant calipers are hidden. Rear end decorated with a diffuser with a built-in 4-pipe exhaust. The car lacks a bit of brutality, thanks to which it could well become one of the "heroes" of the famous movie "Fast and the Furious".
Inside, as it should German car very luxurious and comfortable. At first glance, the salon is no different from the usual civilian version. Only a careful comparison reveals the logos of the German tuner AMG on the gear selector and the button next to it, with the help of which the sedate sedan, as if by magic, turns into a real Lucifer. Nearby are the on / off buttons for ESP and for changing the stiffness of the suspension. The business style of the car is emphasized by only one gadget - the IWC Schaffhausen watch, located between the deflectors on the front panel.
About Quantity inner space nothing bad to say. Both front and rear space is more than enough. A positive impression is enhanced by a 540-liter trunk. The side rollers of the front seats during cornering are constantly “pumped up” either to the left or to the right, depending on the direction of the overload. It is almost impossible to fall out of a chair in a turn.
To dwell in more detail on numerous systems does not make any sense. Imagine everything that a car can be equipped with, and feel free to double this number. E63 is simply overloaded with equipment. However, many will enjoy it.
And now the most important moment is approaching - the moment of starting the engine. After turning the ignition key, everything in the world is forgotten, and any, even the most serious reasons for worry. Is the campaign being audited? Doesn't matter! Mistress reported pregnancy? Damn her! The wife threatens to divorce and take away her beloved dog. Let him take! This unique sound is mesmerizing. For the sake of it, there is any excuse to recover on a “journey”.
Under the hood of the AMG E63 S is a real 8-cylinder monster with 585 hp. and a torque of 800 Nm. Is the car really faster than many Porsches? Doubts disappear, even after shyly pressing the gas pedal. Dare to push the accelerator harder, you realize how strong this sedan is.
800 Nm pass through a 7-speed MCT gearbox developed by AMG engineers. Thanks to it and the all-wheel drive system, the car literally "bites" into the asphalt, reaching the first hundred in 3.6 seconds. Further acceleration is no less impressive. The speedometer needle freezes at around 250 km / h, and in the presence of a special package it “creeps” up to 305 km / h.
Driving an E63 AMG-S will require a lot of fuel. On the highway, you can see figures of 14 l / 100 km, and even 26 l / 100 km. With a light driver's foot on city avenues, fuel consumption will freely exceed 40 liters! More sedate will be able to keep within 20 liters.
pendant and steering have nothing to do with the usual E-class. AMG S is a demonstration of the possibilities of modern automotive technology. However, during extreme driving By Russian roads with a strongly clamped suspension, at the transverse joints, in addition to tangible shocks, dull knocks are also heard.
For drivers who do not want to part with driving license, normal chassis settings are provided that turn the E63 AMG into an ordinary business sedan that does not notice holes in the pavement or bumps.
A short adventure with the Mercedes E63 AMG S brought a lot of positive emotions. Great car with outstanding abilities in ten years, it would certainly become a coveted classic. You can get complete satisfaction and real pleasure only if you have the amount of 6,000,000 rubles!

The “charged” E-class, according to the newly established tradition, enters the market in two versions at once. The place of the former V8 5.5 biturbo engine was taken by a more compact “eight” with a volume of 4.0 liters with two twin-flow turbochargers in the collapse of the block. This is the same engine that is installed on the AMG GT coupe, but if before its output did not exceed 585 hp. and 700 Nm, then for the “yeshki” it is seriously forced. The entry-level Mercedes-AMG E 63 develops 571 hp. and 750 Nm, and the most evil version of the E 63 S produces 612 hp. and 850 Nm! In addition, a system for deactivating half of the cylinders at low loads has been added: it is activated only in Comfort mode in the range from 1000 to 3250 rpm.
Both versions have a box AMG gear Speedshift MCT, based on the 9G-Tronic nine-speed planetary gear, but for the sake of rate of fire, a wet clutch is installed instead of a torque converter. However, the main news is different: the Mercedes-AMG E 63 marked the company's transition from permanent all-wheel drive with center differential to a system with a multi-plate clutch connecting the front axle!
So far, only “junior” Mercedes with a transverse engine have been equipped with such a transmission, but at the beginning of the year, plug-in all-wheel drive for “large” models, and BMW has been using such a system for many years. Now Daimler has also given up.
0 / 0
The new transmission is called 4Matic + and in the case of extreme “shocks” it is good that it can completely turn off the front wheel drive, giving the car a 100% rear-wheel drive character. At the same time, the initial version of the E 63, in addition, has a rear “samoblok”, while the modification S has an electronically controlled differential.
Moreover, the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S has a special drift mode: in this case, the clutch is open, the ESP is disabled, and the gearbox operates in manual mode. For those who are not ready to curb 612 “horses” on their own, an intermediate mode of operation of the Sport Handling Mode stabilization system is provided, which allows slipping within harmless limits.
What else? The body, compared to the standard “yeshka”, is expanded by 17 mm and reinforced with four additional stretch marks, and the front end has also been changed. - the hood has lost its beak and now a jumper is inserted between it and the radiator grille. wheels landing diameter 19 or 20 inches air suspension is already in the “base”, and for a surcharge for the “eski” carbon-ceramic brakes are offered. Compared to previous model new AMG E 63 became heavier by 30 kg: curb weight - 1875 kg.
And yet, the acceleration time to “hundreds” was reduced by 0.2 s: base sedan does this exercise in 3.5 seconds, and the S version does it in 3.4 seconds! Top speed is traditionally limited to 250 km/h, but optional AMG package Driver's Package shifts the cutoff to 300 km / h.
