It鈥檚 essentially the same motor used by the SL63 AMG roadster, and it provides more than enough grunt to get the big E-Class moving smartly. Backing up the big V8 is the SL63鈥檚 7-speed AMG Speedshift MCT automatic gearbox, which differs from conventional autos in that it uses a wet clutch to control power delivery instead of a power-sapping torque converter. The result is a more direct transfer of power from the engine鈥檚 crankshaft to the gearbox, and a sharper, more responsive transmission. The wet clutch also allows the gearbox to be more versatile; capable of delivering smooth, slurred shifts as well as brutally direct gearchanges. Controlling the Speedshift MCT鈥檚 behaviour is a small rotary knob located to the right of the gear selector. Through it, the driver can dial up the economy-oriented Comfort mode, a slightly shaper Sport mode, an even sportier Sport Plus mode and a fully manual shift mode.

Manual mode holds each gear until the driver taps one of the steering wheel-mounted paddles or nudges the tiptronic shifter, and perfect rev-matched downchanges are executed when in Sport or Manual mode. In Sport Plus and Manual mode, the Speedshift MCT can swap ratios in just 100 milliseconds. Launch control is a standard feature of the E63, and enables it to launch from zero to 100km/h in a catlike 4.5 seconds. Not quite as fast as the BMW M5鈥檚 4.4 seconds, but then again the E63 has 1840kg to lug around - significantly more than the M5鈥檚 1755kg kerb weight. The E63 AMG features an entirely unique front suspension, with a 56mm wider track width, new control arms, unique hub knuckles, tubular stabiliser bar, stronger wheel bearings and stiffer dampers, springs and bushings. The E63鈥檚 front suspension still utilises MacPherson struts, but nearly every other aspect has been changed. The multi-link rear suspension has also come in for some reinforcement and geometry revisions, while airbags are employed rather than conventional steel coils.

Damper firmness is adjustable from within the cabin, allowing the driver to tailor the E63鈥檚 ride to their liking. The steering rack ratio has been quickened to 14:1 (thus making it 22 percent more direct than the standard rack), and speed-sensitive power steering adds more weight to the wheel at speed. The standard brake package consists of sizable 360mm ventilated and cross-drilled steel rotors, the front pair gripped by six-piston calipers and the rear by four-piston calipers. An optional carbon-composite brake package will be offered in the future, although an availability date for the Australian market has yet to be finalised. The package replaces the steel rotors with carbon ceramic discs measuring an enormous 402mm at the front, while the rear carbon discs remain 360mm in diameter but are 6mm thicker. Mounted on aluminium hats, each carbon ceramic rotor is around 40 percent lighter than the standard steel items, and help improve handling, acceleration, ride comfort and, of course, braking performance. The all-new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG sedan is a significant improvement over the outgoing model, however its price point is lower and it offers a much higher level of standard equipment. 7000 cheaper than the BMW M5. The 2010 E63 AMG is available now from Mercedes-Benz dealers nationwide.
