Mercedes-Benz’s facelifted E63 AMG offers 410 kW and 720 N.m, a notable amount more than the pre-facelifted model’s 386 kW and 700 N.m. The result was a track time of 1 minute 24,46 seconds, an improvement of 0,44 seconds over the pre-facelifted 2012 model we have tested. The 2009 model, equipped with the 6,2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine, did a time of 1 minute 25,21 seconds.
