Distinctive, athletic, dynamic and offering greater individuality than ever – the design and equipment of the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG. In the Saloon or Estate variant, the E 63 AMG lives up to its role as the high-calibre top V8 model of the E-Class range in consummate style.
The new sculptural design idiom immediately sets the new model apart from its predecessor. The E 63 AMG presents the new AMG design philosophy. The new "A-wing" in the newly designed front apron provides the perfect backdrop for the "twin blade" radiator grille with two louvres in silver chrome and a large, centrally positioned Mercedes-Benz star. This three-dimensional design feature in the form of the stylised AMG signature "A" also serves as an air deflector for the three air openings. In particular, the two large air intake openings at the sides are defining features of the new front view, with the black flics above the openings ensuring an ideal inflow of air into the cooling modules. At the bottom of the front panel a front splitter helps to reduce lift. The E 63 AMG is fitted with LED High-Performance LED headlamps.
Dynamic convex and concave surfaces on the front end combine sleekly with the distinctive 34 mm wider wheel arches. Behind the wheel cutout, "V8 BITURBO" lettering alludes to the superior engine power on board and identifies the E 63 AMG as the top of the E-Class model range. Special side sill panels and attractive 10-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels painted in titanium grey with a high-sheen finish define the side view.
Dynamic and sporty features dominate the rear end, too: striking air outlet openings at the sides, the black grille, the diffusor insert with prominent vertical fins and the AMG sports exhaust system all highlight Mercedes-AMG's long traditions in the field of motor sport. The two sets of chrome twin tailpipes provide a look and sound befitting this racing lineage.
Even more striking design on the E 63 AMG S-Model
A number of even more striking design features distinguish the E 63 AMG S 4MATIC from the other models. At the front, the "A-wing" is finished in high-gloss black, rather than the vehicle's body colour. The front splitter, the three-dimensional side sill panel inserts and the trim strip on the rear apron come in silver chrome. The twin tailpipes sport an exclusive design on the S-Model. The spoiler lip in the body colour on the boot lid reduces lift at the rear axle at high speeds (E 63 AMG S 4MATIC Saloon only). Another highlight on the rear of the most powerful E-Class of all time is the AMG logo on the boot lid featuring an "S" in contrasting black.
Dynamic, sporty and exclusive interior
Inside, the E 63 AMG treats its occupants to a unique combination of business class comfort, exclusive quality, high-grade materials, excellent workmanship and hallmark AMG dynamism and sportiness. The three appointments colours black, silk beige and crystal grey in combination with various trim elements enable the interior to be configured in accordance with the owner's individual wishes. A new feature is the AMG-specific analogue clock in IWC design between the two central air vents.
The AMG sports seats in transverse fluting look feature electric adjustment, heating and AMG badges. All seats, armrests and door centre panels are covered in fine nappa leather. Characteristic features of the AMG Performance steering wheel are the flattened top and bottom rim sections, the grip areas covered in perforated leather and the aluminium shift paddles. The AMG instrument cluster welcomes the driver with a striking AMG logo on the colour TFT display. Three modes integrated in the AMG menus display information on the vehicle's current status: "Warm Up" indicates the temperatures of the engine oil and the cooling water; "Set Up" displays the current ESP® mode, the suspension set-up – "Comfort", "Sport" or "Sport plus" – and the transmission mode – "C", "S", "S+" or "M". In "RACE" mode, the RACETIMER becomes available. The driver can use this to record lap times on a closed-off racing circuit. The gear display is located above the central display.
The AMG DRIVE UNIT in the centre console incorporates the E-SELECT lever with embossed AMG emblem, along with controls for the MCT sports transmission, the ESP® functions, the suspension set-up and the AMG programme.
Fine differences distinguish the interior of the S-Model
Fine points of detail distinguish the high-calibre E 63 AMG S 4MATIC from the other E 63 AMG variants: in conjunction with a black interior, the AMG sports seats, the door centre panels, the door armrests, the centre console and the AMG Performance steering wheel feature grey contrasting topstitching. Silver seat belts provide an additional highlight in conjunction with the black interior. Nappa leather comes as standard for the S-Model. Embossed AMG emblems in the head restraints of the AMG sports seats add a special touch, as do the "S AMG" logo and red applications in the 320 km/h speedometer. The standard scope of equipment has also been upgraded once again. The E 63 AMG S 4MATIC comes with sill panels featuring white LED illumination, an electrically operated rear roller blind (Saloon only) and the anti-theft protection package.
The standard scope of equipment and appointments for all E 63 AMG models includes (selection):
- Active Parking Assist
- AMG door entry sills
- AMG sports pedals in brushed stainless steel with rubber studs
- ATTENTION ASSIST
- COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
- Metallic paint finishes

- AMG carbon-fibre engine cover

- Trim in carbon fibre/piano lacquer

- designo trim
The AMG Business package is now optionally available for E 63 AMG customers who attach special importance to understatement. This tailor-made option comprises a discreetly designed rear apron from the AMG Sports package and a twin-pipe exhaust system with square tailpipe trims in polished stainless steel. The understated look of the Business package is rounded off by the omission of the model designation on the boot lid and the "V8 BITURBO" lettering on the wings. This option is available for all E 63 AMG models.
Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system
A very special highlight among the optional equipment and appointments for the E-Class Saloon and Estate is the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system, developed by Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes‑AMG together with renowned Danish audio specialist Bang & Olufsen. The sound system also offers playback in Dolby Digital 5.1 quality and enables an exclusive audio experience of the very highest standard.
This performance is made possible by a 1200 W amplifier and 14 high-end loudspeakers with neodymium driver in conjunction with precision distribution of the audio signals by the sound processor. This integrated digital sound processor (DSP) enables the driver to select a special B&O sound menu via COMAND. Front, central or rear sound setups can be selected in True Image™ mode, resulting in an authentic audio experience in the selected listening position. Various sound modes are additionally stored in the "Sound Mode" menu, enabling selection between a "Reference" high-end studio sound and a surround option. While "Reference" focuses on an authentic, unadulterated rendering of the artist's performance, the special surround sound mode is particularly ideal for live or concert music, creating a unique panoramic sound in the vehicle without compromising the natural character
of the recording.
The illuminated 50 W tweeters featuring Acoustic Lens Technology in the mirror triangles add special highlights. High-quality Bang & Olufsen aluminium loudspeaker covers in "silver chrome" bearing the Bang & Olufsen logo additionally allude to the exclusive character of the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system. .jpg)

The top-of-the-range AMG model is once again playing a leading role - this time in terms of design. The SL 63 AMG is the first high-performance model to feature the new brand face. The two elements which dominate the form – the radiator grille and the lower cooling air intake – are retained but in reinterpreted form which gives them a more distinctive identity in terms of dynamism and the sense of perceived value they convey. The central styling feature is the new "twin blade" radiator grille in silver chrome. The Mercedes star is mounted on two blade-like louvres whose profile recalls that of an aircraft wing. The more pronounced V-shape of the radiator grille optimises the longitudinal proportions of the vehicle and so adds even greater visual emphasis to the attributes of aerodynamics and purism.Below the radiator grille with its twin blades, the stylised "A" - a characteristic feature of AMG vehicles - is retained. A gap formed below a fine black fin at the lower edge of the cooling air opening allows optimum airflow over the cooling modules – a perfect combination of aesthetics and high technology. The lower cross strut in the front apron is also finished in silver chrome and is given a perceived sense of depth by the gap above it – a distinctive note which adds the perfect finishing touch to the front of the vehicle. The "twin blade" radiator grille and lower cross strut are the two complementary styling elements which underline the new AMG brand face – a look which will be picked up by the styling of future AMG models and so further increase the recognition value of the AMG performance brand.
AMG bodystyling with characteristic features
The SL 63 AMG boasts classic sports car proportions: the long bonnet, compact passenger compartment set well back, and the powerful rear are all combined skilfully with the characteristic AMG bodystyling features. These include the front apron with black grilles and large openings for engine oil, water, charge air and transmission oil coolers, the side skirt panelling and the exciting profile of the diffuser-style rear apron with body-coloured insert. The standard-specification ILS headlamps are characterised by very high-quality tubes for the low and main beam which have been styled with great attention to detail, plus a chrome bracket surrounding the main headlamp and the flared arrangement of the indicator lamps and sidelights. All of the further functions feature LED technology – such as the distinctively curved sidelights. The surrounds of the special AMG daytime driving lights, the side fins on the wings and the fins on the bonnet have the same silver-chrome finish as the radiator grille and the lower strut in the front apron.
The side profile is dominated by the "V8 BITURBO" logos and the titanium grey-painted 5-twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels with high-sheen finish. The front axle is fitted with 255/35 R 19 tyres on 9.0 x 19 rims, while the rear has 285/30 R 19 tyres on 10 x 19 rims. A highlight at the rear is the AMG sports exhaust system, with its two chromed twin tailpipes integrated into the bumper. The AMG spoiler lip helps to reduce lift on the rear axle while increasing driving stability at high speeds.
Exceptional quality of interior finish
The interior of the SL 63 AMG is characterised by the typical wrap-around effect, as already featured in the CLS 63 AMG: in conjunction with the beltlines on the doors and the parcel shelf, the upper section of the dashboard creates a formal unity. The generous amount of space, high-quality materials, high sense of perceived value and lovingly crafted details displaying tangible and visible precision all exude a sense of ultimate quality. Minimal gap dimensions please the eye and reflect the high precision with which the SL has been produced.
A delight for all of the senses: this comes courtesy of the specific style elements, familiar from the SLS AMG, such as the four air vents in the style of jet engines, the AMG DRIVE UNIT - exclusive to AMG - and the leather-clad E-SELECT selector lever with embossed AMG badge. To the left of the selector lever are three buttons: the front button operates the 3-stage ESP® system, the centre button controls the AMG sports suspension based on Active Body Control, while the rear button with the AMG symbol is used to store personal settings (transmission mode, suspension mode, ESP® function). Pressing briefly on the AMG button enables the configuration options to be called up, while holding down the button longer allows the desired setup to be chosen, as confirmed by means of an audible signal. In addition, pressing a button at any time also displays the chosen setup in the instrument cluster.
AMG main menu and AMG Performance steering wheel
Two tube-shaped round cockpit instruments provide information on engine rpm and tank capacity (left), and road speed and coolant temperature (right). Three-dimensional graduated rings, back-lit dials in the centre of the speedometer and rev counter, AMG-specific red dials and the 360 km/h speedometer scale all add to the emotional appeal. The driver is greeted by an AMG start-up screen which appears in the centrally located three-dimensional TFT colour display. The AMG main menu is also integrated into the central display: three modes of "Warm Up", "Set Up" and "RACE" provide the driver with comprehensive information. "Warm Up" displays the engine oil and coolant temperatures as well as the operating status of the ECO start/stop function; "Set Up" provides information on the current ESP® mode, suspension mode and the transmission modes "C", "S", "S+" or "M". In "RACE" mode, the RACETIMER becomes available. The driver can use this to record lap times on a closed-off racing circuit. The gear display is located above the central display.
A visual and tactile highlight of the interior of the SL 63 AMG is the new AMG Performance steering wheel: specially shaped grip areas finished in perforated leather, together with flattened top and bottom sections, help to ensure perfect control of the vehicle. Aluminium shift paddles enable manual shifting. The bottom end of the galvanised spokes features an AMG logo for the first time. The airbag cover, which has a three-dimensional shape, is finished in nappa leather. Twelve function buttons allow the audio and navigation system, the driver assistance systems, the on-board computer and the AMG main menu to be controlled.
Optional nappa leather in four different colours
First-class comfort on long journeys and high levels of lateral support come courtesy of the electrically-adjustable AMG sports seats. They not only feature a distinct V8 seat upholstery layout and AMG badges on the seat backrests, but also 4-way lumbar support, memory function, seat heating and a multicontour function: this allows the seat cushion length and side bolster support to be adjusted. The nappa leather upholstery covers the armrests in the doors and centre console, and includes stitching and edging in contrasting colours. Optional colours range from black, porcelain and Bengal red, to ginger beige/espresso brown. For an even higher quality ambience, Exclusive nappa leather is also available as an option: it includes a nappa leather finish on the dashboard, door panelling, rear compartment panelling and parcel shelf. Contrasting stitching and a roof lining, including A/C pillars finished in DINAMICA microfibre are also included.
The standard ambient lighting bathes the interior in a pleasant indirect light. Three colours (SOLAR, SOLAR red and SOLAR orange) are available to choose from. The fibre-optic cables offering three colour options are fitted on a level between the beltline and door centre panel, almost along the entire length of the doors, behind the trim for the dashboard and in the front panelling. An exclusive highlight reserved for the SL 63 AMG is the AMG-specific analogue clock, located centrally on the dashboard and featuring an IWC design.
The standard equipment on the SL 63 AMG includes AMG carbon-fibre trim, which affords the interior an appealing motorsport feel. Optionally available at no extra cost are aluminium trim elements with a dark or light longitudinal-grain, and also wood trims in high-gloss black ash, light-brown satin or high-gloss brown finishes.

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system
An attractive highlight among the optional extras for the SL 63 AMG is the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system, as found on the SLS AMG: Mercedes-Benz and AMG have created it in conjunction with famous Danish audio specialists Bang & Olufsen. The sound system enables an exclusive music experience to be enjoyed at the very highest level. The basis of the system is formed not only by the amplifier with a total output of 900 watts and 12 high-end loudspeakers including Frontbass, but also the precise distribution of the music signals, controlled by the sound processor, to the selectable seating positions of driver, front passenger or the central position.
Thanks to the digital sound processor (DSP), it is also possible to choose between the high-end "reference" studio sound and spacious surround sound. All of the functions are operated using the COMAND system via a special Bang & Olufsen menu. Particular highlights include the illuminated lens tweeters on the dashboard – they help to create the characteristic virtual sound stage in front of the vehicle occupants. High-quality aluminium loudspeaker covers finished in silver chrome with the Bang & Olufsen logo give an indication of the exceptional position enjoyed by this high-end system.* Official photos and details courtesy of Mercedes-AMG GmbH * Copyright © 2012, mercedesgla.
