Agreed, move to smg style transmission will make it more sporty feeling and more fun to drive. On the other thread the dash looks like the one in the E60 5-series

one other thing I just noticed, no LSD standard!

when will AMG learn? the "electronic diff" just doesn't cut it.

I like the new design. Nothing really impressive but its worthwhile to call it a re-design. The power figures however is very disturbing.

BMW's twin-turbo V8s will outrun them easily.

I'm not set on upgrading just yet. I think I'll keep my W211 for another two to three years until the face lift..... maybe then, they'll give more power.

Also, there's been a lot of people who's been having problems with their MCT tranny on the SL63. And I'd rather wait until Mercedes/AMG iron some of the issues. To be fair, some people have not experienced problems as well, but I've been hearing more with problems than without.

AMG E55, Stage 1, Strait Pipe from Primary Cats
Looks similar to the C on the exterior which is good, Bimmer like interior, Audi leds.... I hate the exhaust and rear end in general.

So is there anything in the front-end that differentiates the E63 from the regular E550 except the front bumper? At least the C-Class has a different hood

Tinted headlights, it appears.

The interior is a dead give away between a real E63 and a poser E63. I like the differentiation between the two.

Forgot to add: I'm in love with the W212 E63.

On flat surface, you can have the car in drive and she will sit still with no brakes. Nail the gas and WHAM.

Not sure how that works, but sure sounds cool.
SL63 has launch assist, correct?

Thank you for hosting/sharing these pics. I was "eh" when some of the previous teaser pics were leaked, but these look terrific IMHO. Love the LED lights (as compared to those weird L shaped ones shown elsewhere), exterior is sufficiently aggressive, and the interior looks phenomenal. I give AMG on this one, kudos to Affalterbach.

I'm a huge fan of the interior, love it. That front quarter view reminds me of a Caddy.

I was considering jumping from my 210 AMG to the 212 when it arrives, but I definitely think I will be sticking to the 211 as my next AMG. Hey, it will save me a few $ anyway. The S600's are quite appealing as well.

Autocar (a british car magazine) had a 0-100-0mph test with a bunch of high performance vehicles, including the RS6 Avant and the C63 estate. They commented on how shocked they were that the C63 almost beat the RS6 despite the power difference. There was a difference of 0.05 or something in the times. Plus they said the C63 started to pull on the RS6 as they gained speed. Weird but that's what they reported. I'm suspecting that this E63 will be even faster.
