@mortensenvick5711 Yeah we know ... and Still You ain't 💩 Boy stop .. it's a shame a 10 year old car can still take you ... Bro you ain't that fast Homie ... talking like you're Porsche twin turbo speed 😆 and the S in AMG S stands for So 😆 🤣
Just bought a 2012 E63, love that back end stepping out when I want it to. It sounds and drives amazingly well, it is a huge step up over my E55, which I loved.
+Kevin Metz Yes, 2005 with DynoComp headers, ECU upgrade and some other goodies. Great car, I was lucky enough to put about 70,000 miles on it, ran a few tracks like Road Atlanta. So much fun.
First of all, people buying this car will most likely not be doing burnouts and drifts with it. At least the majority of the people who will get it. Second, AWD is more safe and faster, but also Stronger than rear wheel or 2 wheel drive. Especially when it comes to the colder parts of Europe or the rainier parts of europe, or anywhere else. So it's actually a good thing that these cars are getting AWD. I live in Sweden and you NEED AWD to be able to have safe travels in the winter. I welcome it! You can manage without, but it feels much more safe with an AWD. Especially if you have a heavy 4 door sedan, and probably a family.
RWD in winter is the best option. Just put two, three 100 lb. sand bags in the trunk for traction! If you get stuck on ice, open one of the bags and place sand on the sides that are spinning.
No doubt awd is better for winter, all things considered. WAY better than any RWD. But you gotta realize this awd system is not for winter, its very rear biased and likely on summer tires so it's really just for launches and sport driving.
Wow, the first hands on drive video review of the E63 and all people do is whine whine whine. GREAT review Basem - this is your best so far that I've seen.
What you don't understand is that the E63 has AWD, which makes a huge difference when measuring 0-60. 0-60 is a measurement of traction, not power. The CTS-V has 551 lb-ft of torque going to the rear wheels, you can spin the wheels all the way THROUGH 60 MPH, leaving a huge smoky cloud in your wake. Despite that, it still does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. When you remove traction from the equation, the CTS-V does 0-60 faster than the E63. Why? Torque and weight. Let's see if you can understand that.
It will. We never thought an SUV would hit 0-60 in the 4 secs until the Posrche and Mercedes came out with one. This car is a new frontier and will set standards for newer vehicle.
Mr. TAMW what? I literally said top speed not acceleration and the scat pack does 0-60 in 4.2 (used a scat pack on the street with regular tires) so I am almost certain that “4.5” average is incorrect
Great review, absolutely love the car, and intend to get the wagon version. Best sleeper on the planet. I also really enjoyed Mr. Wasef's review; don't know why there is all this hate... Keep it up!
Yes, the GTR is truly an amazing car. The engine is hand built by one man just like the AMG engines. The new 2014 E63S comes close at 3.2 0-60 but all the luxury component weigh it down. If you ever are in the market for a good convertible though look at a 3-5 year old SL, good price, little depreciation, great quality and fun to drive when you aren't going 175. My big worry with the GTR is going to Jail for speeding.
100% agree, and the E class has pedigree, history too. Its not a marketing experiment to try to give Caddy a sporty reputation, the AMG E class cars already have that reputation.
There is a saying that 'If you take care of the car then the car will take care of you' My BMW has been reliable since when I bought it because I treat it with respect except for maintenance every year.
0-60 is a function of traction. AWD gets you faster 0-60 times, even if the car is slower. The CTS-V can easily pull off low 3-second 0-60 times if it has drag slicks on it.
I'm not sold on the handling entirely because the car keeps crossing the center line of the road in the hands of a professional. LOL (recall or driver training?) Great Video guys, love the car. How much room does it have in the interior; are you 6' tall Basem? Thanks again.
when its classed as a total revamp, yes there is. Look at companies like range rover, audi, jaguar, especially BMW, and see the monumental changes they are making to their cars (for the better)
This is the perfect AMG sedan. Power no longer evaporates in smoke but rather catapults the car forward once and again whilst drifting whenever you want to. Nice review but you outta improve your drifting skills, js.
Well they pretty much drive the same way, but the SL is a two seater. Same goes for the SLS. The E and C class amg are what you call a hot saloon. Or super saloon. If you happen to be American, saloon is European English for sedan.
this car does not have a single clutch gearbox, but a conventional automatic transmission with a torque converter! big difference.. though it matches a mercedes much better than let's say a m5 - despite the fact it is the 'sports-version' of the e-class.
Idk why people have so much disbelief because look at the R35, that's a damn near 2 ton car with 545hp and AWD and it takes 2.8sec to get to 60 and a high 10 sec 1/4. Mind you this car weighs almost 4,000lbs. Theres not a doubt in my mind that this thing can do the claimed numbers.
I take issue with the statement that Americans can't build cars. I am American and I work for Mercedes Benz in the US. We build ML, GL and R Class cars that are well made and sell worldwide. These cars are all American built. They are German engineered. American built. The E63 AMG is a great car.
Yes, the original 2008 GT-R does 0-60 in 3.2secs with launch control enabled. So yeah, same territory. But the new 2013/2014 GT-R models do 0-60 in 2.7secs!
Thanks for the info, i understand what you mean. So if the above machine also had drag slicks on it, would it beat once again? im just impressed , awd is heavier but merc pulled it off with balancing the weight and im guessing some systems ...
Great review. I wish they would bring back the minimalist Bauhaus design principles like that 80s era e class that still looks good. This techno angry front end is going to age as well as most modern mercs - looks good for four or five years and then it starts aging badly.
Actually, I'd say that the new frontier was pioneered by the new Audi RS6, which was the first estate from the three major germans to do 0-62mph in under 4.0 seconds. I am not saying that this car will not do 0-60mph in the 3 bracket, just that other cars before can also do it.
I wonder why Basam's review of the E63 seems a bit different than the recent C&D review (in a comparo with the RS7 and M6 GC) of the CLS63. I thought the E63 and CLS63 were essentially on the same platform and mechanicals.
Mercedes AMG is always conservative about their performance numbers so if they say 3.5 sec 0-60 then it's probably at least 2-3 tenths faster.. those are sub- 458 and SLS numbers in a stock Sedan, crazy. Catch up time for BMW once again...
That's funny. Real funny. Because the majority of car journalists say that Cadillac is a definite alternative to the comparable Mercedes and BMW, so much in fact, that the new ATS has been recommended over cars such as the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes C class. And that's only the start of Cadillac, wait for the new CTS, and upcoming flagship. Oh yeah, and Tesla. They basically make the best car in the world.
I just wish cars where not reviewed for how you can powder slide a turn or how they preform on a track. How about how they perform in real life, like on normal roads? I can never find real life reviews on cars like these and end up having to drive them to see if they fit in my real life. Not just my track life.
I knew you would say that, everyone on the internet can just claim that they have or have not done something. I find it hard to believe that you have driven a CTS-V, a C-class AMG, an M3 and/or an RS4 on the limit and then thought the CTS-V was the better car.
Are all of the E63 AMG's going to be all wheel drive now, or can they still be had with real wheel drive? And also, can we get this generation of E63 AMG as a wagon in the United States? Mercedes/AMG has always been good at giving their E-class AMG wagon to the US, and I hope that it stays that way. Questions aside, I think that I'd be very happy if I got to own an AWD E63 AMG-S wagon.
Bjorn already got you on the misstep talking about the Cts-V Wagon, although the Mercedes would be the choice if you wanted to be fastest in a straight line. These were also wagons. That being said, the Magnetic ride and 6MT of the Caddy took the cake for a true driver's car. We are talking about Cadillac's hear not Land Rover's buddy, they will work just fine 60 years down the road.

FINALLY, Basem Wasef is actually wide awake in a review (he always seems tired in other reviews).
It's amazing how technology is advancing that we have four door sedans as fast as zr1s.
That sound when it takes off!
I actually loved this review. It was way better than some of his old ones. Well done sir

I just drove this car, it is amazing! Really thinking about trading in my 07 E63. And I thought mine was fast. Holy shit the new one is crazy!
The old 6.2 in the E63/SL63/S63 etc, was not very reliable compared to the predecessor 55 Kompressor but this TT 5.5 is also a beast. 2012 to 2018.
The reviewer did a great job. Never seen him before. Good info. Nice review.
This car quite possibly has the most character of any in its class
Good review.
What a awesome ride
great review
great video
this thing is a beast.
