Some more info on the "range topping" AMG E50 coupe. Rumored 450 hp, hybrid.

I still believe that you will see a E63 model

they think it will cannibalize sales of the S63. Their bean counters have probably done the math and figure they need a certain number of S 63 sales to break even

Sanch

I think so too, not to mention that the new face-lift s class should be out soon.

So it seems at the Detroit Motor Show, Moers has said "as of now" no plans for a E63 coupe/cab..

otakki

That's what I have heard, too. The AMG folks backtrack just like everyone else. Thus the thing is dead in the water as of now. The entire AMG is all messed up now with the "43" and most of what's coming.

Found this Photoshop - only if this was true

Vipershade

Damn, that's a pretty nice mock-up. I would have no problem being on board with that.

Way too many AMG of everything they make. Used to be better and more prestigious 12 years ago.

Sanch

+1 there should be just one for every class!

The biggest thing with Merc/AMG is that they don't differentiate at all. . . I'm fine with the Audi "S-Line Trim" and BMW "M Performance Parts" because they take the name but not the glory entirely: the cars are not S or M cars outright, they just have the parts and there is a clear distinction. Slapping the full AMG moniker on everything definitely dilutes it a little bit harder than the competitor brands do in my mind.

you can get an e63 coupe.. you just need to buy an e500 and send it to GAD and comes back to you with 1000+hp/ trq on race gas setting

It's interesting but this model of having sedan, coupe and convertible version of every model is probably creating some issues. BMW recently announced that they have too many body styles and will be cutting back in future model cycles.

NickyBlack

Thats a good step in the right direction for BMW. The Amg brand i feel is getting diluted too fast

gaspam

^ i agree.. i think audi does it best with their 3 tier lineup... you can get normal A-series and then if you want a little sportier you can steep up to S-series and then for the most performance oriented buyers they can step up to the RS-series which has more limited lineup (almost too limited in some cases as in case of the last generation RS6 that you couldnt get in north america)

I believe you were misinformed, unfortunately

Does GAD do any work in the US ?

I highly doubt they will ever make a e63 coupe. If they make one it will be up against the AMG GT in pricing. I dont think mercedes will want that.
