2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Sedan And Wagon Are Here


The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S family has been updated for the 2021 model year with new looks.

Like lesser E-Class models recently updated, the new E 63 S benefits from a raft of visual modifications. These changes start at the front where Mercedes has installed a fresh set of LED headlights, a new bumper, and a revised Panamericana front grille. The front splitter has also been tweaked and is available in Silver Shadow as standard, in high-gloss black as part of the optional AMG Night Package or in carbon fiber through the available AMG Exterior Carbon-Fiber Package I.


Alterations continue at the rear with the most obvious change being slimmer and more angular taillights. The taillights of the E 63 S Estate are a touch different and have the same shape as the outgoing model albeit with different inner graphics to mimic those of the sedan. The latest AMG model also comes standard with a lip spoiler available in color-matched paint or in carbon fiber.

The interior will be very familiar to current E 63 owners but does include the latest MBUX infotainment system with a large touchscreen and a touchpad. Another new addition to the cabin is a re-designed steering wheel that includes touch buttons with haptic feedback.


Driving the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S remains a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged that churns out 603 hp and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque in both Sedan and Wagon guises. This engine is paired with an AMG Speedshift nine-speed dual-clutch transmission powering all four wheels. Mercedes says the sedan can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.3 seconds while the Wagon completes the same sprint in 3.4 seconds.

Like the outgoing model, the facelifted E 63 S comes outfitted with AMG Ride Control+ suspension with fully supporting multi-chamber air suspension and adaptive adjustable damping that offers three different settings; Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. Drift Mode also comes standard, allowing drivers to have all the available power sent to the rear wheels.


Braking is provided by six-piston front calipers biting down on 391 mm (15.4-inch) discs while the rear sports single-piston floating calipers and 360 mm (14.2-inch) discs. Enlarged AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes are available as an option.

“Thanks to our efficient V8 engine and the variable all-wheel drive, the E 63 offers not only outstanding performance and vehicle dynamics at the highest level, but with the latest revision of the Sedan and Wagon we have also significantly increased comfort and yet still retained the hallmark AMG character,” said Mercedes AMG boss, Tobias Moers. “In conjunction with the extensive design update, which also helps the E-Class from Affalterbach achieve improved aerodynamics values, our customers are now receiving an even more attractive overall package.”


Pricing details for the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Sedan and Wagon have yet to be announced.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
