Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
Reservations Open for the Latest AMG Sports Sedan
While the E-Class has already undergone a full model change and begun its introduction to Japan, the "Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG," a sports sedan that masterfully blends AMG's overwhelming performance with the E-Class's comfort, has also been revamped and is now available for reservation.
Powered by a 525ps 6.3-liter V8 Engine
The new E63 AMG, based on the new E-Class, is distinguished by its 6.3-liter V8 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG, boasting 525ps (386kW) of power, and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT (7-speed automatic transmission with electronic control) which utilizes a wet multi-plate clutch for direct accelerator response and swift gear changes.
While the 6.3-liter V8 unit increases output by 11ps compared to the previous generation, it achieves over 10% better fuel efficiency through measures such as reduced internal engine friction and an efficient transmission.
The chassis features a newly designed front axle for enhanced performance, along with the electronically controlled AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension, rear air suspension, and AMG sports steering. These components ensure that while maintaining the E-Class's characteristic comfort, the car can also handle demanding driving conditions.
Priced at 14.95 Million Yen
The exterior, with its specially designed front spoiler and wide front fenders, gives the E63 AMG an aggressive stance befitting AMG. The interior has been significantly enhanced in sportiness and premium feel with AMG sports seats and AMG sports steering upholstered in supple leather, an AMG instrument cluster with unique AMG functions, and the AMG DRIVE UNIT system, which centralizes drive mode selection switches on the center console.
Available with either left-hand or right-hand drive, the price is 14.95 million yen.

BRAND HISTORY
When tracing the history of the automobile, the pioneers we arrive at are two Germans: Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz. It goes without saying that between 1885 and 1886, these two men independently created gasoline-powered automobiles, laying the foundation for our car-centric society. The automobile companies they founded were at times seen as rivals, but to overcome the post-World War I recession, they joined forces, and Daimler-Benz AG was established through their merger in 1926.
The name "Mercedes" given to the products originated when Emil Jellinek, a customer of Daimler's, had his eldest daughter's name used for the cars in exchange for taking on sales outside of Germany. The trademark was registered by Daimler in 1902.
Thus born, Mercedes, and subsequently Mercedes-Benz, have continued to lead the automotive world by consistently introducing cutting-edge technologies such as the safety passenger cell, airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and Night View.
