2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG spied
September 17, 2008 by George Skentzos
Our spy photographers have perched themselves on the edge of the Nürburgring this week, catching a brief glimpse of the new Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG during performance testing.
The standard E-Class isn’t due to make its official debut until the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, with the AMG derivative still over a year away.
Mercedes will abandon its SBC technology in favour of conventional brakes – albeit with the inclusion of wet-weather disc wiping and wheel-selective cornering brake control.
Ceramic discs will also likely be introduced into the new AMG range, as featured on the model caught in these spy shots.
The next E-Class will share many characteristics with the S-Class including the wheel-arch extensions, rising character line below the door handles, massive bumpers, and greenhouse.
A sculpted wide-frame grille, aggressive ‘nostril’ air intakes and a wedge-shaped profile should give the E63 a dominant silhouette.
Driver assistance aids will play a major role in the new E-Class, boasting lane-departure warnings, an eye-movement monitor, traffic-sign identification, road-condition sensors, and stability control that accounts for crosswinds, camber changes, and tire wear.
Expect Mercedes’ usual range of petrol and diesel V6 and V8 engines with a flagship naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8 engine churning out over 370kW.

honestly, i love the e-class… a guy in the year below me at schools parents have a brand new E350 in theat black obsidian colour, and its got nice thick 5spoke 18’s on it, and its absolutely beautiful…
i think this is gonna be even better! and i think that new merc concept wagon thing, is either a clk-shooting brake or the new e-class in a concept form.
would it be crazy to say that these coupe pics we been seeing gonna be an e-class coupe? because the rear ends on both the sedan and coupe look almost identical!
so maybe they’ll make a clk AND an e-class coupe – although the chances of this are HIGHLY unlikely.
whatever, i love the E63, bring it on Merc!
Spied! mmm, more like the paparaz was filling the last few bites on his camera and was at the ring when MB were there for lunch. I don’t know why the germans et all bother with stealth wrap. Eg, Can anyone pick the difference between last years 911 to this years?
IMO, MBs,BMs, Poorsh etc would be more successful with covert operations if they drove their protos around on full display. People wouldn’t see any difference.

I hear what you say however the reason MB does this is they dont want to lose sales like the Dame Edna front Epica sorry 5 series.
Thanks for the pics – I’ll send our AMG Market blog readers over to your post. The E63 is starting to look more and more like an S-Class. It appears the massive rear bumper could use a little more styling.
