2010 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG upgrades

HI-RES GALLERY: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG upgrades

Adding value without adding price: we love when carmakers give us more for our dollar. And we already had plenty of reason to love the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG, so that just makes these updates that much sweeter--assuming the European-spec improvements cross the pond to our cars. We may have to wait for the 2011 model year to see them, as Mercedes has curiously left out any reference whatsoever as to what model year they're for.

The upgrades the E 63 AMG gets aren't all that major, but they'll be noticeable: the upper dashboard and door beltlines get "Artico" leather now, and the center console trim is now in piano black. Optional (but price-adding) upgrades new for 2011 include a "designo extended leather appointments II" package, which covers the lower dashboard, glove box lid, door liners, and center console side upholstery in nappa leather. It'll run 4,700 euros (or something north of $5,000 when U.S. prices are revealed). It can be had on its own, or in conjunction with the standard designo package (2,856 euros) to make for a truly high-end cabin.

The rest of the 2010 E 63 AMG's core features and specs carry forward, including the 525-horsepower 6.3-liter (really 6.2-liter) V-8 engine, dynamic ride control suspension, and exterior appearance. And of course, you can still get even more customized factory bits through the AMG Performance Studio.

Hit page two for the full release, but remember--things may change in the translation to the American market.
