2007 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG pics
Launched today in NY:
The new naturally aspirated AMG E-class gets more horsepower but loses some torque.
With the introduction of the 2007 E63 AMG, the tuning division’s 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 will replace the supercharged V-8 in the now-defunct E55. The new AMG motor has a dramatically different character from the torque monster it replaces. Although it generates 34 more horsepower if you wind it up to 6800 rpm, it has only 465 pound-feet of torque — that’s down 51 compared to the previous engine. More telling is that the E55 delivered 516 pound-feet from a low 2650 rpm, but the E63 doesn’t hit its torque peak until 5200 rpm. It’s destined to be a screamer. (C/D April 2006)
