E63s Coupe

Hi Guys,

Just out of interest keen to see who would be getting the AMG coupe if they decided on releasing one. I know I'm keen if it happens

The sedan is a monster... however like the C63s AMG sedan the E63s is lacking something that they rectified in the new coupe - Maybe they will do the same for the E.

A choice between a coupe or large SUV? A strange cross-shop. Those are two very different vehicles.

I'd consider it. (But then my wife who hasn't had a new car since my last multiple ones will see that they make a convertible and say......NOOOO. I want to wait and see one first.)
But I wouldn't be trying to decided between a G class or a coupe. Haha

We are probably treading a bit off topic, but here is an interesting G63 review that finishes up with his review of the driving characteristics (go to 4:38):

Here is the first confirmation that the E63/E63S coupe will be built on the same platform as the sedan (instead of a C-Class variant):

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/20...ar-112914.html

(If the coupe's rear view is as aggressive as the C63/C63S coupe's, and the power and sound are greater than or equal to the sedan's, the coupe would definitely be worth a look).

Oh so there will definitely be one... Should be interesting to see what it looks like.

It will look like a smaller S-class coupe or bigger C-class coupe .

The coupe probably will be worth a look. Here are the latest non-AMG spy shots. The hood appears to be E63-inspired:













The rear definitely has more potential than the sedan, to look aggressive. (Hopefully the U.S. version won't be subjected to those god-awful bumps).

The back looks a lot like the S coupe!

Hoping the AMG versions wider and more agressive...

I've got my hand up for one Sanch

Keeping fingers crossed as I'm not sure this variant is confirmed or not, we will know for sure by mid to late next year.

AMG have definitely confirmed an E43 coupe which I believe they will christen the E50 as part of their 50th anniversary next year, but no official word yet on an E63 coupe.

This might be a no go at this time. According to Car and Driver "no V-8 is planned—neither for the standard model nor for the hotter AMG version." http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...st-ride-review

A real bummer.

Here's another "no go" for the E63 coupe - this article from MA stating the top performance variant for the new E coupe will be the E50

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...-e-class-coupe

Must say feeling pretty pissed after all the initial excitement after the release of the sedan, a coupe would've been a totally epic and total package vehicle and for me the perfect vehicle to own

This is just a repeat of info from Autocar. I would be very surprised if you don't see an AMG version, considering there was a quote year or so ago that AMG stated that they were kicking themselves for not having a AMG E coupe in the current generation. So I think it will come in due time

I hope your correct even if it's still a long while away I can wait...

If it does eventuate it should be by the 3rd or 4th quarter of next year or at least reliable word of it confirmed by that time otherwise I'll move onto a mid life updated C63 coupe or my wifes 1st choice for a new car the new LC500 coupe.

I have a close friend who works for MB and he's currently in Affalterbach, when he returns I'll pick his brain and see if he can shed some light on the topic.

That is the source where I've been getting useful info that I've been writing up on various threads over the years here

However I can only reveal what he allows me to reveal, there's a lot going on that I know about but cannot advertise it for obvious reasons, I hope there's some good and useful info I can share on the new E coupe ie. if it's going to exist at all he's due back by the end of this month

New hope for an AMG E63 coupe is surfacing in some of the latest press releases of the new standard variants E class coupes

what a looker, the E63 variant should combine the best of all Worlds and be a true apex coupe
