At the heart of the new E 63 AMG (part of the 2014 E Class family) is a 5.5-litre V8 biturbo that produces two grades of outputs - 557 hp/720 Nm and 585 hp/800 Nm. This represents an increment of up to 32 hp and 20 Nm compared to the respective outgoing models. Increase in peak pressure and rise and charge pressure are the technical basis for the output improvement. The engine's dry weight is 204kg, leading to a very impressive power:weight ratio.

Direct injection, Biturbocharging, an all-aluminium crankcase, 4-valve tech with camshaft adjustment, generator management and a start/stop function are some other facets of the engine.
