(January 10, 2013) MONTVALE, N.J. — Mercedes-AMG continues to emphasize performance, dynamic purpose and efficiency with the new 2014 E63 AMG 4MATIC featuring a redesigned, performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system as standard equipment and available as an especially powerful S-Model with output of 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet  of torque.

The E63 will make its global debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next week.



The 5.5-liter AMG V8 continues to be the benchmark of efficiency. No other competitor in the segment offers this combination of maximum performance and low fuel consumption.

Permanent all-wheel drive is standard on all U.S. models — which also feature a power increase from 518 horsepower to 550 horsepower with a peak torque of 531 pound-feet. With this step Mercedes-AMG now for the first time offers powerful passenger cars with an all-wheel-drive system designed for vehicle dynamics.

The 2014 E63 AMG goes on-sale in the U.S. this summer.

With the introduction of the new custom-tailored models, Mercedes-AMG offers its customers even more individuality than before. The 2014 E63 AMG is more powerful and sports a more dynamic outfit than all its predecessors.

Even at first glance the new AMG design philosophy is immediately apparent. The new “twin blade” radiator grille and a new “A-wing” in the AMG front fascia define the exclusive appearance. As before, the top-of-the-line E-Class AMG model is available as a sedan and wagon. Also adding significantly to the new models’ appeal is the marked improvement in the price-performance ratio — E63 AMG 4MATIC customers now get even more power, better vehicle dynamics and a more extensive list of standard equipment.

“The philosophy of Mercedes-AMG is driving performance. With the new model variants of the E63 AMG 4MATIC and CLS63 AMG 4MATIC it is also becoming clear that we offer our customers even more individuality than before," said Ola Källenius, CEO Mercedes-AMG GmbH. 

"In particular the S-Models represent the most attractive offer in the competitive segment and score decisive points with a significant improvement in their price-performance ratio: The most power and the highest torque in the segment, the new performance-oriented AMG all wheel- drive system, the new design and a significantly more extensive standard-equipment package are among the outstanding strengths of the new high-performance automobiles from Affalterbach. With the innovative all wheel- drive S-Models we will reach new customers and markets.”

With an acceleration time of 3.5 seconds for the sprint from rest to 60 mph, the S-Model of the E63 AMG 4MATIC holds an undisputed top position in the competitive environment; the electronically limited top speed is 186 mph.

In addition to the power increase, the performance-oriented AMG all-wheel-drive system 4MATIC with a power distribution of 33 to 67 percent (front/rear axle) is also a major factor. Perfect traction during acceleration effectively prevents any losses due to wheel slip.
