2018 Mercedes AMG E63 S 4MATIC Official Commercial Trailer – Video

 

The most powerful version yet of Mercedes-AMG’s 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 sits under the E63S’ hood, with 612 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a 4Matic all-wheel-drive system that promises totally variable front-to-rear torque – there’s no mention of lateral torque vectoring – Mercedes’ new super sedan is faster off the line than the 640-hp Cadillac CTS-V. The E63S is 0.4 seconds faster to 60, doing the deed in just 3.3 seconds to the Caddy’s 3.7 seconds (though the CTS-V’s 200-mile-per-hour top speed dwarfs the E63S’ 186-mph electronic limit). And if you buy the standard car? Don’t worry, the base E63 can still beat the Cadillac with its 563 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The run to 60 takes just 3.4 seconds, although it hits its electronic limit at only 155. Regardless of model, Mercedes stuck with its nine-speed AMG Speedshift multi-clutch transmission.
