Mercedes-Benz have released details of the 2011 E63 AMG, which comes with a few revisions. One of them being the increase of power from the 6.2 litre V8 engine which now produces 11hp more, making it 525hp in total. Which is actually pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
Not that you’d be able to feel the power hike, but I’m sure the fuel efficiency increase of 12 percent will be easier on the wallet. This produces a fuel consumption figure of 12.6 litres for every 100km travelled which has been made possible with a braking recuperation system and the use of an AMG twin-wire arc spray coating process used on the cylinder walls of the engine.
The E63 AMG gets the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission also seen in the SL 63 AMG. Performance figures haven’t changed with the performance saloon propelling itself to 100km/h in just 4.5 seconds going on to reach an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.
The exterior remains the same while the interior will see the use of Artico leather for the dashboard and door panels, whereas the centre console trim around the AMG Drive unit will be finished in black piano lacquer finish, all of which are now available as standard equipment. Currently available in Europe, the E63 AMG will go for 105,791 Euros while the station wagon will go for 108,409 Euros.

2011MY?
AMG done a great job….
I will never forget what Richard Hammond did to the E63 AMG in Top Gear.
Why there are different steering wheels? a 4-spoke and a 3-spoke?
Wah… 12.6KM to 100L of fuel is very good for such a monster engine!
I saw a couple of times some ‘heavy black taped’ mercedez moving around Stuttgart near the Schellingstraße, Koningstrasse early in the morning..the design (with massive black taped) is so modern and the length is quite long…of course I’m afraid to take some photos but these mercedez keep using the same road in the early morning around 8-9a.m near my place. It also been followed by couple of mercedez at the back of this blacked taped car…
Maybe if I’m in luck I will have the opportunity to catch some photos of it..but hemm…nice to see this high-tech car and these car are moving so slow without afraid people will notice it or try to avoid attention.(maybe Stuttgart people don’t ever bother…like Malaysian)
Man Germany
to the sky high…louis???
Paul, this ‘updated’ E63 AMG still uses the old 6.2L V8?..
all the other ‘revised’ AMG cars have switched to the new 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8, the S63 AMG being the 1st one..
