Mercedes all set to launch AMG E 63S, E 53 in India on July 15. Details here
Mercedes-Benz India has announced it will further strengthen its AMG lineup in the country and will launch the AMG E 63S and E 53 here on July 15. Of special note is the AMG E 53 which will make its India debut as yet another example of Mercedes' focus on improving its performance car lineup.
The E-Class is one of the best-selling models from Mercedes-Benz in the country and the AMG E 63S and E 53 are also likely to attract much attention from driving enthusiasts. While meant for a niche luxury performance car buying audience, both cars will command a premium price tag but with features and capabilities to match.

The updated AMG E 63S boasts of a 4-litre V8 biturbo engine which belts out 603 hp and has heart-stopping 850 Nm of torque. The figure of 100 kmph from standstill comes up in just 3.3 seconds. Transmission duties are the responsibility of a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Updates to the all-wheel-drive systems' software, re-designed brake lights and a more aerodynamic profile claim to further help the ability of this Mercedes to spear forward.
