E63 S 4Matic

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 S marks the final chapter in the hot-rod division's Book of Boosted V-8s. The high-performance E-class sedan will likely follow in the tire tracks of the AMG C63, which receives a hybridized powertrain for the 2024 model year. Those looking to purchase an AMG E63 or place a factory order are likely aware that dealers were unable to fulfill orders for 2022 models after suspending sales of most V-8-powered vehicles in the U.S. But the company says its resuming sales for 2023, which is good news because the E63 S is a delightful machine, surging through space with its twin-turbo V8 pumping out 603 thundering horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, its multi-clutch nine-speed transmission delivering that power to all four wheels. The super saloon can muster up enough gall to take on most any of today's super sedan, but it's capable of much more than just being a ballistic missile. The wonderfully luxurious cabin can be a serene space for the driver and passengers, and its air suspension can deliver a supple ride at the flick of the mode switch. This duality of personality is a key part of what makes the AMG E63 S so special. This is the E63 S's final production year, and and that specialness will be missed.
