A close look at Mercedes sales figures will tell you one thing. Australian motorists love its AMG vehicles, with around 15-20% of local sales comprised of the performance-oriented line-up. The E-Class range is a particular favourite, boasting the incredible AMG E63, as well as the lesser known, but just as impressive, AMG E53. First things first, the E53 is a hybrid unit that gets an upsizing in torque thanks to its novel EQ Boost starter system. So while on paper a 3L turbo V6 sounds impressive, it’s even better in real life. Of course the E63 is the wild child here, with its monstrous reputation needing no mention. Split between two variants, the 4MATIC+ and S 4MATIC+, they live up to their billing as breathtaking performance sedans. Each boasts an AMG 4L V8 bi-turbo engine, but it’s the latter that tweaks out an extra 100Nm and 30kW to deliver a mouth-watering 850Nm and 450kW in total. This is the stuff of legends, fit for the race track any way you put it. The entire range elicits a truly visceral and emotional outpouring. That’s not just from the immense power, wonderful dynamics or exceptional handling - it’s also from the absolute level of depth to the design and technology right throughout. The AMG E-Class range is one that will fit the tastes of any driver, just beware that you can never go back to ordinary after this.
