2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG E 63 S

2016 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG 4MATIC S-Model Sedan 4D – The Ultimate Executive Super-Sedan
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG S-Model is a legendary powerhouse, representing the absolute peak of the W212 generation. It is a vehicle that perfectly masters the 'Jekyll and Hyde' personality—offering the supreme luxury and prestige of an executive E-Class with the world-shattering performance of a high-end supercar. For the enthusiast who demands a four-door sedan that can dominate the autobahn and the racetrack alike, the E 63 S is unrivaled.
Under the hood, the E 63 S features a handcrafted 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo engine, a mechanical masterpiece producing a staggering 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. This immense power is funneled through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 7-speed sports transmission and the performance-oriented 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. With a 33/67 front-to-rear power split, it offers a rear-wheel-drive feel with the traction needed to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.5 seconds.
The driving experience is visceral and highly customizable. Equipped with AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension and an electronically controlled rear differential, the E 63 S stays remarkably flat and composed through high-speed corners. The driver can toggle between 'Comfort,' 'Sport,' 'Sport Plus,' and 'Race' modes, instantly transforming the car from a quiet, civilized cruiser into an aggressive beast with a thunderous, crackling V8 exhaust note.
On the exterior, the S-Model is distinguished by its muscular and purposeful design. It features the 'A-wing' front bumper, larger air intakes, and an aggressive rear diffuser with quad trapezoidal exhaust tips. Exclusive S-Model touches include red brake calipers peeking through 19-inch AMG 10-spoke titanium-finish wheels and subtle black gloss accents that hint at the power lurking beneath the sheet metal.
Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary of high-speed luxury, featuring:
Nappa leather sport seats with AMG badges and silver contrast stitching
AMG performance steering wheel with Alcantara® grips and aluminum paddles
IWC-designed analog clock centered in the dash
14-speaker harman/kardon® Logic 7® Surround Sound system
Despite its supercar performance, it remains a highly practical E-Class at heart. It offers seating for five adults and a generous 16.4 cubic foot trunk, making it a viable daily driver for the executive who values utility. The interior build quality is impeccable, utilizing carbon fiber and brushed aluminum trim to create an environment that feels both sporty and incredibly expensive.
Fuel economy reflects the massive V8 power, averaging approximately 15 MPG city / 22 MPG highway. However, for the E 63 S owner, the focus is on the effortless, continent-crossing speed and the mechanical soul of one of the last great large-displacement Biturbo V8s.
Safety is world-class, as the 2013 model comes standard with Mercedes-Benz's most advanced driver assistance systems, including ATTENTION ASSIST, PRE-SAFE®, and available Distronic Plus with Steering Assist. These features ensure that you remain protected even when exploring the outer limits of the car's performance.
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG S-Model is a masterclass in German engineering. It is the ideal choice for the driver who wants an understated 'sleeper' that can outpace almost anything on the road while providing the comfort and technology of a flagship luxury sedan.
