AMG E63 W213
Race mode on non S W213 E63

Hey!
we just upgraded from 650HP C63s to the new E63 (non S)
it’s our shop’s project / demo car, on which we have already mounted a powerbox on and it’s insane. vbox numbers soon

thing is.
we have looked up and the differential part numbers are the same on E63.. and E63s. I don’t get it why they say one is mechanic the other electronic.
theoretically, by spoofing / remapping / coding the infotainment system.. we can activate both Race and Drift mode on an non S E63, since the engine ECU has Race mode in its map.

has anyone tried this before? how did it go?

thanks!

was hoping to find out as well the general differences in the Non S (now unavailable anymore) vs the S.

Larger brakes - modified to larger size floating rotor
Power - Renntech HHT took care of it
Drift / Differential mode - still trying to figure
Race mode and track pace - heard possible but very expensive to map

that being said. I know some will ask why not buy an E63S in the first place? In where we are, for every $1k increase in sticker price vs US or UK, our sticker price goes up by 2-3k. So an S version would typically cost north of 30k USD
