Reviews 2017 Mercedes-AMG E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+ Reviews

Two articles claiming that the E63's performance is on par with the GT-S. Impressive.

This car totally blows away the Audi RS6 Plus and BMW M5 Competition.

Its more than 2sec faster to 200km/h than both cars and 2.5sec to 3.5sec faster to 250km/h!

Brilliant car really amazing. To think that the new M5 will be better than this car is just mind boggling!

My guess for the new E 63s was 10.2 sec from 0-200. I don't think it can break the 10 s barrier in official tests. The RS7 performance does the deed in 10.6. I don't think that the new 63 will be significantly quicker. Can't wait to see though. It's certainly a crazy rapid car.

Better how? considering the M5 hasnt been released thats a bold statement to make!

Also that video shows the E63 is 1805kg but its 1955kg i think those times are not real.

 

[Rolf]

i think those times are not real.

They are real, lol look at my post #92 on previous page, the timed video.

0-60km/h - 1.2sec
0-80km/h - 2.2sec
0-100km/h - 3.0sec
0-120km/h - 4.0sec
0-140km/h - 5.0sec
0-160km/h - 6.1sec
0-180km/h - 8.0sec
0-200km/h - 10.0sec

What is amazing is this saloon is faster than the McLaren F1 supercar up to 160km/h, who could ever think this was possible 20 years ago!

I understand the video is real you posted what i mean is we dont know the conditions of the car how it was setup, once real word tests come in from reviewers if they can still match that time than yes i will 100% believe it. And i'm a merc person owing an E63 but if Mercedes claims 3.4 sec reaching 3.0 secs is a lot better than their claim.

It's possible E63 S might be slightly quicker than the upcoming M5 from 0-xxx km/h but we are not talking about night and day figures. It's going to be close for sure. So close it won't affect you car decision.

..and in real life driving conditions both of them will be stupid fast for the streets.

What do you base the above on? is it pure speculation or do you have some information on the upcoming M5 with 0-100 times?

Common sense. And it's not just about 0-100.

 

[Rolf]

We have to wait and see how much power/torque the next M5 will have as well as if it's AWD as standard. If RWD and with 630hp it will probably be a fraction slower in acceleration than the E63 S up to 200kmh but maybe just fractions but it depends on the driver/traction/power delivery/weight/ and gear changes etc.

So speculation only. Common sense maybe but its still a guess at best.

Yeh the E63S is a heavy beast now if the RWD M5 assuming their is one is 1800 kg or less the 0-100 will still probably go the E63 S but past 100 i see the M5 pulling away. Again just my educated guess no facts yet on the new M5.

Yes but I'm rigth 9/10 times. Who knows. M5 E60 was quicker than E55 at the time. This could happen again.
But I have to say 0-xxx times is old fashioned and something you rarely do with your performance car. If anything, I'm more into rolling starts and how the car pulls in different gears.

I wonder why these cars (i.e. M5, E63, S6) are always so closely matched in terms of horsepower. Why does BMW not simply put out a new M5 with significantly more horsepower than the competition? For what ever reason, the new M5 will likely have a horsepower rating very close to the new E63. I am sure they could put out a 650-700 hp M5 if they wanted to since the next generation of these cars will likely be in that range if things continue as they have in the past. Why not just blow the competition away instead of making it close???

 

[Rolf]

Been the most powerful doesn't always make the car fastest. Compare the performance of the 717hp Hellcat and 649hp CTS-V to the new 612hp E63S and despite much less power the Mercedes will blow both cars away from 0-250kmh.

I seriously doubt that. From 0-150km/hr sure, due to AWD but above that the hellcat should take it. That's a race is like to see. I'd like to see the in gear acceleration of the E63s vs those cars.

 

[WAND]

Hellcat has no chance against E63.

it is a open secret that these german supersaloons actually produce alot more power than published.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Really?

So it's like how the Japanese had an agreement to not breach a certain KW barrier back in the early 90's. I believe it was 204KW, but I could be mistaken.

So even if the engine produced significantly more power it would still be rated at 204KW.
