Four body styles, plus some wicked AMG love, mean the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class is freshly revamped and ready to take on the luxury sedan competition. The E Class Sedan and Wagon both made their way onto the web before the holidays, while the Coupe and Cabriolet saw their debuts at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show alongside the new E63 AMG 4Matic--the first all-wheel drive AMG car. While we're not entirely sure we'll enjoy giving up the incredible burnout potential of a Mercedes-AMG vehicle, the 4Matic all-wheel drive system does go a long way toward making the E63 a more practical only-car...

But exactly how much of the rated 416 horsepower makes it to the ground, without the loss inherent in a multi-geared setup like you'd find in a combustion-powered sport sedan?
