2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Rumbles Around the 'Ring

Meaner and greener — that's the new objective of AMG. The tuning arm of Mercedes-Benz is rapidly approaching its peak in terms of horsepower, so cleaning up emissions while maintaining performance is the key for the future. This 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG spotted testing on the Nürburgring could be the first of AMG's new green machines.

Mercedes-Benz officials have gone on record saying that all of the company's future engines will be turbocharged, so it's likely that AMG will follow suit. With that in mind, this sedan might not be an E63 at all, as the addition of one turbo (or maybe two) would likely mean a smaller-displacement engine. Either way, there will be at least 500 hp and a healthy amount of low-end torque to ensure that this super sedan can keep pace with its German rivals.

Like the other E-Class sedan prototypes we've seen before, this test mule reveals only evolutionary changes to the overall shape of the midsize sedan. A redesigned set of headlights is the most dramatic change, but this AMG version also gets a deeper airdam with a pair of brake-cooling ducts at each front corner. They feed air to a serious-looking set of drilled rotors fitted with oversize calipers.

There's not much of a body kit, and the rear fascia shows only minor changes compared to the current model. And like almost all AMG models, there are quad tailpipes poking out from the relatively clean rear fascia. It's a tame-looking setup, but the sound coming from the four pipes proved to be pure AMG as this sedan circled the Nürburgring.

The public debut of the standard Mercedes-Benz E-Class isn't expected until early next year, so you probably won't see the 2010 E63 AMG until late 2009 at the earliest.

Erm, Brabus Rocket (CLS- 227 mph) or Bullit (C63- 200+mph) anyone??

In my personal opinion, as a whole, and cross the entire range, Mercedes Benz create the best cars out of all manufacturers.

Some will moan and go "oooh what about the Veyron?" then follow that with some insult and explain how I know nothing.

(look up OPINION in the Oxford English Dictionary)

you are an idiot. The SLR is as fast around the top gear test track as a Porsche Carerra GT. It weighs a shit load more yet is still as fast as it. An M3/M5 would get raped by an SLR in the straights and on the bends. You are stupid for thinking anything else.

Did any body notice the difference between the rims on the right side and the left side?!?!?!?!??!

LOLz

@derbigpr500 Nurburgring is the shit... I want to take my E there someday.

[denny099999999]

@derbigpr500 wow thats funny how u just come on here and try to diss ever1 lol.... and 'that just shows how bad the car is' lol cause it goes fast around the track that 1 sir does not make any sense most of ur other comments are true but i just had to point out how stupid that sounded.

[derbigpr500]

@derbigpr500 And i also find it funny how Cadillac fanboys always come up with "CTS-V is fastest around nurburgring lolol !!1"... that just shows how bad the car is, because speed around track is not the point of a luxury sedan. CTS-V was ONLY made to be fast at track...and it is, but STILL not as fast, or as nice or as fun to drive as M3, M5, E63, Jag XF-R, RS4, RS6, Panamera...and those cars were built to be perfect at EVERYTHING (luxury, comfort, refinement, quality, tech..), not just speed.

[derbigpr500]

@TargetRender People who still somehow believe the GM's stupid marketing tactics that make people think CTS-V is the fastest 4 door sedan are just dumb...because guess what, its not the fastest. It did set 7:56 on Nurburgring...while having racing compound tyres on it, and having the suspension / camber / toe-in/toe-out, and all other settings set FOR that track, so it was not a stock car. Besides... RS4, RS6, M3, M5, and even the 2,2 ton heavy Panamera beat that time...

[derbigpr500]

@maurinquina What about it? Still trying to be as good as Mercedes (or any other german brand) but sadly failing at doing so? Cadillac is a joke...they only make ONE, i repeat, ONE car worth mentioning, and thats CTS. Everything else they make is complete rubbish. And even the CTS cant compete with E class at anything except at speed. Mercedes makes 21!!! car models , most of them available with range of at least 7-8 engines...CTS comes in 2 models...sedan or coupe..V6 or V8...and thats it.

does anybody notice the outrageous amounts of chalk drawings on the track floor???

Look at 1:11 ... its a 4 letter word that is said by a passenger getting whiplashed by 500hp
