I know its gonna sound stupid, but i really think its underpowered, compared to the competition...

They've already announced there will be no AMG version of the Coupe. Of course, they could always change their mind...

I've never liked E-class and this is the same. Ugly car. But of course the engine is great.

I can't really see the E class's place in the market now that the new C is more of a prestige vehicle compared to its predecessor.

this can't compete with the cars in its class the bmw m5 , audi rs6 even the chevy vxr has more power and all the cars in it's class all have better 0-60 times. they should do a black version of this.

To say the E63 can't compete with the other cars in its class just tells us that you have not been in one of these and driven it yourself against the others.
All the cars in this class are good, but the E63 does everything well. It is the perfect car for the executive that still enjoys driving with his hair on fire.

More power. More speed. More more more more. That kind of reductionism drives me insane. Figures tell only half the story. What it comes down to is the overall package, and I think the Merc as a whole is likely to be a better package than the other two. It's going to be a more USABLE car than the others in everyday conditions, where these cars spend 99% of their time. Seriously...how often do people who drive cars like this visit a race track? Never. But they WILL use it on the open road in the REAL world...and THAT is where this car will kick ass.

The RS6 is the most usable everyday car because of AWD. The problem with this, as with all high-powered Benzes, is that too much power goes to the rear wheels. It's uncontrollable. Too much wheelspin. This is especially true of the S65.

...of course it does. it helps you accelerate faster, prevents wheel spin.

True words my friend. Here's what the outgoing E63 station wagon did to the R8:

well im a hardcore Bimmerphile, and while i'm sure I will prefer the upcoming M5 to this, the new e-class IMO is an extremely good looking car inside and out and I'm sure the e63 will be a super close competitor to the M5

I'm a BMW fan to the end but there is no denying this car is good looking and a worthy M5 opponent. As someone else said, what about an E63 Black Series model?

stupid germans and there speed limiters why limit speed when its bountiful especaily in germany of all places

scratchy996
it was a gentlemen?s agreement. mainly safety reasons. not all German manufacturers joined the agreement and you can always remove the limiter of your car at your own risk.
the Japanese had a similar thing limiting the power of cars to 280 hp.

I wonder if half you guys read what you write and realise you sound like idiots!!! 525hp what a usless engine - your a fool!!! These are fast, safe, RELIABLE, cars!! They will stop and turn like the best of them and have service intervals that match bread and butter commuters. If you want horse power buy a top fuel drag car!!! Stop boring the rest of us with your pathetic whining about Horsepower .... By the way, its torque that gets you off the line and out of corners, few cars have the fat, wide, torque spread a big V8 has!!!

the E class AMG will alweighs be one fo the most badass cars on the road, sorry.

..hohoho..this " boy racer wants more power " comments makes me sick..the rs6 has more power but it drives like big fat momma trying to do moon walk...the new e63 concentrate more on the overall driving performance, the front suspension is an all new compared to the standard e class, and the torque is spreaded all over the band..of course big power figures are always great to have, but how you put the power on road is the most important aspect of fast car

Agreed. That last point is exactly the problem with the 65 series AMGs, too much torque = too much wheel spin and a car out of balance.

Don't be fulled by 520hp AMG will do same as with 55amg to 63AMG after a year or 2 it will pop new engine in it probably v8 with turbos around 600hp and again will destroy M5 on straight line.

agree vovaUA...but i still can't understand why merc hasn't slap a turbo or two for this engine...

Meh, I don't like this. The styling is dated and it just came out! I'll take pretty much any other peformance sedan, Like The IS-F, M5 or RS6.

Alas. The RS6 is an exercise in excess. It's too heavy (worn down by its AWD) to do any real damage in this segment. The M5 is a generation old. 507bhp just doesn't cut it anymore, and the robotised manual is rubbish. So, for now, as a balance of power, handling, and finesse, the E63 has my vote. That is, until the new M5 with the twin-turbo, 555bhp 4.4V8 comes along...

the engine sounds like something out of a TVR, just insane, but I Wish Mercedes Benz would have done a better job on the dash on the new C and E class. Just doesn't look like a high end dash.

porscheinmysoul
why don't they supercharge it....it will churn atleast 700 hp then and 110 kgm of torque...that justifies an AMG...i just cant wait for the new M5 with twin turbo...i drove the new engine in 750 & X6 xdrive50i..it is out of the world...Bring it in BMW!!!!
