Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Wagon (2012) - Automotive News

CAR GARAGE | Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Wagon (2012) | Like the popular, high-performance E63 AMG sedan, the wagon features a new hand-built 5.5-liter direct-injection V8 AMG engine generates 518hp and the which 516 lb-ft of torque as well as the award-winning AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7 - speed Multiclutch Transmission (MCT). Like the engine That preceded it, the engine has aluminum cylinder heads, pistons and cylinder block (with cast-in Silitec cylinders), as well as a special forged steel crankshaft, connecting roads and valves.

All three new engines the make use of industry-leading electronics technology first used on Mercedes-Benz Diesels - electronic fuel injectors gasoline directly into the spray That the combustion chambers, rather than indirect port fuel injection gasoline engines most used in the past. Featuring a piezo-ceramic element crystalline That instantly changes shape when electrical current is applied, blazingly fast piezo injectors make it possible to design very sensitive and precise injection systems, Including the ability to program Several small injections with each piston stroke.

Based on its 5.5-liter highly Successful predecessor, the new 4.6-liter V8 engine but has a smaller displacement generates 402 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque - more than the engine it replaces. Replacing normally aspirated AMG's 3.6-liter V8, the engine features twin turbochargers smaller, direct fuel injection, and multi-spark ignition. In comparison to the previous AMG engines, reduced displacement is more than offset by the power boost of its twin turbochargers - one for each bank of cylinders. -efficient, thanks in part to an innovative ECO stop-start system.

The E350 Blue TEC is powered by a purpose-built 3.0-liter diesel V6 with 210 horsepower, 400 lb.-ft. of an Astonishing of torque and 30 percent better fuel economy than a comparable gasoline engine. Building on this foundation of advanced engine design, the E350 Blue TEC incorporates modular Several after-treatment units in the exhaust stream - an oxidizing catalytic converter, a Part of the optional DISTRONIC PLUS system, it operates at speeds above 37 mph via a system recognizes lane markings That, thanks to a small camera in the windshield and a computer analyzes the video images That.

Both Active Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Assist Active incorporate features of an intervention, in the which ESP braking automatically helps correct the car's course if the driver does not Heed the initial warning. Adaptive High beam Assist uses a small video camera to sense both headlights and taillights, then softly and automatically Transitions Between high and low beam operation to avoid dazzling other drivers.  Night View Assist PLUS can now allow a driver to see pedestrians up to 300 feet Earlier than before.
