yeah, that's my impression too. for some reason the pics don't do this car justice. they look far more aggressive and have a commanding presence when you see them in person. the coupe's rear end does look a bit bulbous though, i would go for the sedan. I saw a bunch of these during my trip in June. Even saw one with the AMG sports package with the AMG bumpers and aprons. Absolutely fantastic car.
The best one was the black coupe I chased on the Autobahn. It was indeed absolutely stunning. I passed it to see it in the rear view mirror and let it pass me so I can see it from the back and drove along side it. The little window/b pillar was not too noticable in person.
It was an admirable car and the driver was a total class act.
Now I need to sit in one to judge the interior and drive one to assess the dynamics of it.
Official information regarding the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG sedan has been released along with the first batch of official photos. The E63 AMG now makes 518bhp (386kW) and 465lb ft (630Nm) of maximum torque compared to the current car's 507bhp (378kW) and the same amount of torque. Mercedes-Benz is sticking AMG's 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 on this one. Performance should be similar to that of the outgoing E63 with figures of 4.5 seconds for the 0 - 62mph sprint and a top speed of 155mph (249km/h).
Despite the minimal increase in power the car is said to quaff 12 percent less fuel resulting in an average consumption of 22.4mpg. One of the components credited for this is the Speedshift MCT 7-speed gearbox found in the SL63 AMG. It has four driving modes namely Controlled Efficiency, Sport, Sport Plus and Manual.
The standard car comes wearing 18-inch AMG alloys with size 255/40 front and 285/35 rear tyres. There is an optional 19-inch rim available. In terms of exterior cosmetics the big AMG gets LED daytime running lights, a more aggressive front spoiler, a rear diffuser and four tailpipes as per current AMG standard issue.
