That's simply model designation and does not address the issue of awd and rwd (title of the thread). Your statement is like asking why the P30 6.2l E63 are being walked by the P30 Biturbo models. They are both P30 why aren't they running the same?
Apples to apples will be same HP different drive trains (rwd vs awd)

Whats clear from the video was that obviously AWD will need more power to keep up with RWD from a roll.
As as for the power increase of S model
making it as fast if not faster from a roll is something yet to be seen so we really don't know.
Then the fact that trap speeds of equally tuned cars are showing roughly both at the same speed, which also is hard to understand unless AWD responds better to tuning for
some unknown reason.

Hey man, I have a 2012 E63 Eurocharged tune only, I trapped 126 mph with a bad 1.9 60 ft. on 20" Vossens on Michelin Pilot Supersports from an idle, no launch. I'm considering putting my 19" stock wheels back on with Pirelli P-Zero tires to see what happens.

With stock wheels i expect 127-128mph, about the same as all other tuners are making
awd e63 with tune also seem to be on average of 126-128mph traps.

My e.t. was 11.48 @126mph, I did not do a before and after dyno but Jerry @ Eurocharged surely worked his magic. The car is lots faster, my car has the pp which was pretty strong but no comparison to the ec tune, hope this helps.

I do plan on putting my factory wheels back on to see where my e.t. and mph will be. I have new Pirelli P-Zeros' mounted on the stock wheels and Michelin Pilot supersports on the vossen 20s'. The Michelins have done very well.

much of a difference as long as they are decent.
I think with with the weight savings and smaller diameter of the stock wheels you can likely pick up another 1-2mph and possibly get your traps up to 127-128mph.
Are you running the more aggressive EC tune that makes over 600awhp or the stage 1 tune?
and any other mods besides only ECU tune?

im guessing since you have AWD the tires wont make
much of a difference as long as they are decent.

My apologies if I didn't advise, it's a 2012 rwd E63, I just have the tune from Jerry and new factory air filters only. I do believe putting the factory wheels back on will yield a higher mph as well, hopefully 127-128 mph. The Vossens/Michelin combo on my car, though 20s are only 2 pounds heavier than the factory wheels. I know about spun weight and rotating mass, I think as you do, 127-128. I went straight from idle when I went 11.4@ 126mph, probably build the rpms' a bit next time.

Im also wondering if MB programmed higher torque limits in the TCU for the 4matic e63 vs the RWD versions.
Does snyone one know if torque limits are higher in 4wd vs RWD to protect the AWD drivetrain more?
