SPY PHOTOS: AMG PACKS 500+ HORSEPOWER INTO NEXT MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS



The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, expected to debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, will likely use S-Class styling cues, including a more sculpted wide-frame grille and wedge-shaped profile, according to automotive spy photographer Brenda Priddy. Internally named "W212," the E-Class will get the usual V6/V8 options, along with a naturally aspirated 6.3L, 500-plus horsepower V8 mill in the E63 AMG variant pictured here.


Priddy says that driver assistance appears to be a major theme for W212, with lane-departure warnings, eye-movement monitor, road-condition sensors and stability control to account for crosswinds, camber changes and tire wear among the anticipated features.

It's the tester rims. Always make er look hideous.

Unveiling rims should be better.....I hope

I think I need to ask around and see if these guys are still out in death valley and go take a peak. I know where they all stay out there so I might have to make a drive out and bake in the heat to sneak a peak at the current fleet of test vehicles.

I think the new W212 will look great. Though the W211 is aging with absolute grace. Still looks modern in a world of more recently developed car.

can anyone do a little photoshop and give it a solid color and slap a set of the sl63 wheels on it?

Vadim @ FD

The pictures shows next E63.

Look at the quad exhaust and brakes.

I doubt AMG will be happy with MB making a 6.3L motor. It torpedos their whole marketing.

I dont know, its very disguised, so until Brenda Priddy and CO get a hold of the whole enchilada, we ought to reserve judgment.

It looks like they won't introduce the twin turbo setup in the new W212 ...... this is bad news for us guys

If they're not going with twin turbo setup, I'm keeping my E63 for a few more years until they do. They'll probably introduce it with the face-lift a couple of years down the road (2012).

Looks like the grill will have a star....

I am sure the W212 will get a TT motor after 2 years of production. I say expect it as 2011 model to be released in later 2010, which is in line with what was announced last week.
