0-100 km/h in 4.5 Seconds

Mercedes describes the E63 AMG as a high-performance saloon that masterfully blends AMG's signature overwhelming driving performance with the comfort of the E-Class. Its most distinctive feature is the familiar 6.3-liter V8 engine, which produces a maximum output of 524 ps and peak torque of 630 Nm. This immense power allows the 1920 kg vehicle to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited).

While increasing output by 10 ps compared to the previous model, the adoption of measures such as reduced internal engine friction and an efficient transmission has resulted in approximately a 9 percent improvement in fuel economy over the previous model.

The transmission is the "AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT (7-speed automatic transmission with electronic control)," a new system based on Mercedes' signature 7-speed automatic "G-TRONIC." It replaces the conventional torque converter with a wet multi-plate clutch, achieving superior throttle response and rapid gear shifts.

This system features four shift program modes, allowing drivers to alter the timing of upshifts and the duration of gear shifts according to driving conditions. In "M" mode, gear changes can be performed manually. Furthermore, it is equipped with a "Race Start function" that automatically controls optimal engine RPM to ensure maximum acceleration from a standstill, similar to a racing start, by securing optimal traction for the drive wheels.

Electronically Equipped Chassis

The chassis features a specially developed front axle to handle the immense power. It also incorporates AMG's unique electronic control "AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension," which uses coil springs at the front and dedicated air springs at the rear, along with an "electronically controlled damping system" that continuously adjusts damper characteristics based on driving conditions.

The exterior is characterized by a large front spoiler designed exclusively for the E63 and front fenders widened by 17 mm on each side. The interior features specially designed sports seats and a sports steering wheel, creating a sporty ambiance.

Both left-hand and right-hand drive versions are available, with a price of 14.95 million yen. Incidentally, since reservations opened on July 8, approximately 100 units have been ordered in about a month and a half.

BRAND HISTORY
When tracing the history of automobiles, the pioneers we arrive at are two Germans: Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz. It goes without saying that these two men independently created gasoline-powered automobiles between 1885 and 1886, laying the foundation for our car-centric society. The automobile companies they founded were at times seen as rivals, but to overcome the recession after World War I, 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 it named after his eldest daughter in exchange for taking over sales outside of Germany. It was registered as a trademark by Daimler-Benz AG in 1902.

Thus born, Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz have continued to lead the automotive world, actively introducing cutting-edge technologies such as the safety passenger cell, airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and Night View, consistently staying at the forefront of automotive development.
