The almighty Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is entering the 2011 model year with some interior revisions in the form of "ARTICO" leather appointments on the upper section of the dashboard and door beltlines and new black piano lacquer finish trim on the upper section of the center console.
In addition to these standard upgrades, Mercedes-Benz is also offering new optional appointments with the introduction of the "Designo Leather II" in which the lower section of the dashboard, the glove compartment lid, the door linings including map pockets and the side upholstery of the centre console are covered in exclusive nappa leather.
This option will cost buyers in Europe €4700.50 (about US$6,050) and is only available in conjunction with the "Designo Leather I" package, which is priced at €2,856 (around US$3,670) adding special black leather on the upper section of the dashboard and the upper door linings.
There are no mechanical changes as the 2011 E63 AMG continues to use the same 525HP 6.2-liter V8 linked to AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, propelling the car from standstill to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.5 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155mph).
In Germany, the E 63 AMG saloon is available for €105,791 while its Estate sibling is priced at €108,409. Mercedes did not say if these changes will pass on to the North American model.
