Supercar-Level Performance in a Luxury Sedan – The W213 AMG E63S is a luxury sedan with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, producing 603 hp (612 PS) and 850 Nm of torque, making it as powerful as many supercars.
4MATIC+ All-Wheel Drive with Drift Mode – The E63S features Mercedes’ advanced 4MATIC+ AWD system, but it also has a Drift Mode, which turns it into a rear-wheel-drive monster for fun sideways action.
Incredibly Fast for Its Class – The E63S accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds, making it one of the quickest sedans ever made.
Hand-Built AMG Engine – The 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo is built under AMG’s "One Man, One Engine" philosophy, meaning each engine is hand-assembled by a single technician in Affalterbach, Germany.
Top Speed Over 300 km/h with AMG Driver’s Package – The standard top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), but with the AMG Driver’s Package, it increases to 300 km/h (186 mph).
9-Speed AMG Speedshift MCT Transmission – Instead of a conventional torque converter, the E63S uses a multi-clutch system, allowing lightning-fast gear shifts and better power delivery.
Advanced Adaptive Suspension – The AMG Ride Control+ suspension includes adaptive air suspension and adjustable dampers, offering a balance between comfort and track-ready handling.
Luxurious Yet Sporty Interior – The E63S combines premium materials like Nappa leather, carbon fiber, and aluminum trim, along with racing-inspired AMG sport seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
Multiple Driving Modes for Customization – The AMG Dynamic Select system includes Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race, and Individual modes, allowing drivers to customize engine response, suspension, and exhaust sound.
Facelift Model (2021) Brings a More Aggressive Look – In 2021, the E63S received a facelift, featuring a wider Panamericana grille, redesigned LED headlights, and an updated MBUX infotainment system for a modern touch.

The W213 E63 S represents peak AMG engineering – a 612hp twin-turbo V8 with drift-capable 4MATIC+ AWD and luxury to shame an S-Class. Now entering modern classic territory.

Pro Tip: A pre-purchase compression test (€500) is wise – bent rods from overboosting are a silent killer.
Engineering Marvel: The E63 S's "Race Start" system can withstand 100+ consecutive launches without overheating – something most supercars can't match.
(This may be the last true AMG "wolf in sheep's clothing" – the next-gen E63 goes hybrid 4-cylinder!)
