[Mr. Mercedes]

Perhaps the standard configuration will be changed (upgraded) for the facelift.

Most certainly it will. But it should never had been this bad from the start. No wonder MB Australia has made the large display standard on all models.

While I agree it's a low spec or taxi spec they could have at least made the screen same size as normal so it looks decent.

Maybe 70%. But I'm sure private vehicles are being delivered like this as well.

Some details of the M256 engine in upcoming E50 AMG model revealed:

NEW MERCEDES-AMG E 50 4MATIC WITH M 256 SERIES 6-CYLINDER

According to current rumors, Mercedes-AMG is to prepare an E 50 4MATIC with a new M 256 engine as a series 6-cylinder with 435 hp and E-Turbo with 20 hp. The engine has a 48 volt electrical system as well as an integrated starter generator ISG.

Mercedes-AMG E 50 4MATIC with M 256 engine
The new in-line cylinder petrol engine with 2.999 cm² can completely dispense with a belt drive for auxiliary units at the end of the engine, which makes the unit almost as compact as a four-cylinder engine.

The water pump and the climate compressor are completely electrically powered by the new 48 V electrical system. A still existing 12 volt mains supplies the loads, such as lighting, cockpit, infotainment and the necessary control units.

The driving performance of the M 256 engine is above the still current V8 petrol engine M 278, with the torque of the M 256 at 530 Nm. The new engine is charged by 2 stages until the large exhaust gas turbocharger starts and the phase is bridged by an additional electrical compressor. The electric turbocharger accelerates within 300 milliseconds to 70,000 revolutions and provides for a lot of dynamics without turbocharger.

Integrated starter generator - ISG
Another integrated component of the new M 256 motor is an integrated starter generator - ISG for short - not only as an electrical generator, the ISG also takes on hydride functions and makes a conventional starter unnecessary. As the manufacturer already showed us in October 2016 , the system can boast a maximum of 20 hp with 220 Nm of torque, ideal for kick-down, recuperation or sailing.

One of the comfort features of the ISG is an almost imperceptible start of the engine. For the exhaust gas aftertreatment, the new in-line six-cylinder petrol engine also has a standard particulate filter, which is part of the exhaust system in the underbody.

Absolutely not.

425hp seems understated. I expected 500hp

 

[Amat46]

Over 500HP will top the current V8 in its base tune. Don't think AMG will do that.

 

[Rolf]

It would have been great if the E50 had to use the same spec V8 engine as the base C63 model with 476 PS (350kw) rather than a six cylinder engine but let us hope this new inline 6 punches much above its weight.

''The new engine is charged by 2 stages until the large exhaust gas turbocharger starts and the phase is bridged by an additional electrical compressor. The electric turbocharger accelerates within 300 milliseconds to 70,000 revolutions and provides for a lot of dynamics without turbocharger''

So the electric turbo has 2 stages ? and then the gas turbocharger will kick in at higher RPMs ?

The translation is not very clear.

Impressive MB are producing some nice engines lately. Maybe ditching the V8 isn't such a bad thing after all. The E50 AMG should easily outperform the previous E550 and E43 if it's not replaced.

 

[HUTSUTAo]

Over 500HP will top the current V8 in its base tune. Don't think AMG will do that.

That's true. So I guess anything between 408hp(will be available at 450 series soon) to 476hp. Surprisingly, the new S560(non amg) will produce the same amount of power as the c63 amg non s. The c63 amg is due for a power upgrade?

 

[Mick Briesgau]

E50: most likely a great engine, but why that forced 4Matic? Offer it at least RWD as well. Same with the E400 (German specs and 333 hp). If I want to drive a petrol 6 cylinder I HAVE to take it with AWD. There's no other, RWD-only 6 cylinder available. S400 6 cylinder petrol, also AWD-only. Personally I find that really absurd.

When is it due for official reveal ? Frankfurt 2017 ?

Hmmmm. I need 450hp please. M550i and S6 are past 425hp NOW.

[Deleted member 1071]

An E50 Coupe (C238) should be exciting.

 

[Merc1]

Where is this info coming from? It isn't official.

Well according to the article peak output is 455hp.

 

[Merc1]

A nice E50 Cabriolet for me please.
