As part of the "AMG Performance 2015" model strategy, the high-performance E-Class now features the new 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine. These drive technologies, that we are systematically bringing to market to the benefit of our customers and the environment, are an integral part of our strategy for sustainable mobility. Once you get off the freeway and drive according to the speed limits (90 Km/hour in the Czech Republic, 100 Km/hour Austria, Germany, Poland) you can easily drop below 8.2 litres! Volkswagen only charges $4500 for 4Motion all-wheel drive on the Crafter. Even a quick glance at the interior of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG reveals the considerable progress which has been made: the completely new dashboard design with an integrated screen impresses with its particularly attractive appearance and the superior quality of the details which immediately bring the new CLS63 AMG to mind. Both variants of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG achieve exceptional performance: acceleration from zero to 60 mph takes 4.4 and 4.3 seconds respectively and the top speed is 155 mph or 186 mph with the AMG Performance Package (electronically limited). The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG also features a ECO Stop/Start function which is active in the Controlled Efficiency ("C") transmission mode and switches the eight-cylinder engine off when the vehicle comes to a stop.
The ECO Stop/Start function can be activated or deactivated using the ECO button on the center console. This eight-cylinder powerhouse, designated internally as the M157, boasts a combination of innovative high-tech components such as spray-guided direct gasoline injection with piezo injectors, a full aluminum crankcase, four-valve technology with camshaft adjustment, air/water intercooling, generator management and an Eco Stop/Start system. Characteristics of ultra-luxury cars are imported luxury design, exquisite and assembled with the most advanced technology. These assistance systems use the latest radar, camera and sensor technology and are designed to combat common causes of accidents, such as insufficient distance to the vehicle ahead, drowsiness and darkness. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG features eleven new driving assistance systems which are already established in the S-Class flagship range and the trend-setting CLS. Mercedes-Benz will have at least 10 pure electric vehicles in its lineup by 2022. Some will be electric versions of existing nameplates, like the e-Sprinter van unveiled earlier this year, while others will be new additions falling under the EQ sub-brand of Daimler, Mercedes' parent company. The Sprinter model line saw sales of 1,855 for the month, while smart recorded sales of 667 vehicles.
The C-Class sees the debut of a new telematics generation which will also be gradually introduced in other model series. They raise the safety standard of the C-Class to a new level by warning the driver of a hazard, or, if necessary, taking active corrective measures. There’s also Mercedes’ Pro Connect Services that allow for fleet managers and drivers to communicate effectively while also monitoring location and fuel level in nearly real time. Launched in summer 2007, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG rapidly established itself as a real best-seller in the AMG model range. The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is now even more powerful and efficient. Luxury cars are known for having the perfect fusion of performance and a good number of amenities that could not found on ordinary sedans or even coupes. Fine trim elements in brushed dark aluminium are to be found on the dashboard and doors. Roof 144” WB (gas engine) trim.
The new three-spoke AMG performance steering wheel - another feature adopted from the CLS63 AMG - which is trimmed in nappa leather and features a metallic trim element has flattened top and bottom sections as well as grip areas which are specially shaped and trimmed in perforated leather for perfect steering control. While the headlamps adaptive lighting control system provides optimal observability regardless to a road situation. Reliable deceleration at all times is ensured by the AMG high-performance braking system with internally ventilated and perforated discs all round. The demand-driven fuel pump and generator use braking energy during deceleration to further add to fuel economy. Also responsible for improved fuel economy is the newly developed electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering system which only draws power during steering wheel movements. There's also a replacement Panamera Hybrid that guarantees V8 performance with V6 fuel economy. The good news is that a high-performance GLC63 is being developed by the Mercedes-AMG skunk works, and we should also see a new AMG Sport variant as well as a plug-in hybrid at some point.
