The 1st AMG model of the new E. That interior...wow

"Hot on the heels of the world premiere for the new Mercedes‑Benz E-Class, its first high-performance variant is on the way from Mercedes-AMG. The E43 4Matic with the 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine on board will represent the most powerful variant of the executive saloon when it is introduced in September 2016. With two new turbochargers and corresponding software applications, the supercharged six-cylinder engine delivers an output of 295 kW (401 hp). As ever, the standard-specification AMG Performance 4Matic four-wheel drive combines optimum traction with high agility on the E43, thanks to rear-biased torque distribution with a front-to-rear ratio of 31:69 percent. The 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shorter shift times, the retuned sports suspension based on the AIR BODY CONTROL air suspension and the more direct steering ratio also provide for signature AMG Driving Performance.

"The new E43 4Matic offers impressive driving dynamics coupled with cutting-edge efficiency. Twin turbocharging, features adopted from motorsport and the characteristic AMG design immediately indicate to our customers that the new E‑Class from AMG offers pure Driving Performance coupled with cutting-edge technology and intense emotion," notes Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

On the E43 4Matic, Mercedes-AMG has upgraded the six-cylinder engine's output by 25 kW (34 hp) to 295 kW (401 hp) with the aid of two larger turbochargers and sophisticated software applications. The ample peak torque of 520 Newton metres is available right from a low engine speed of 2500 rpm.

This package guarantees performance on a par with many a sports car: the new E43 4Matic reaches a speed of 100 km/h from a standing start in 4.6 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h."

Wow, that looks spectacularly ordinary.
It's quick, but that's about it.

Merc are making some of the nicest looking interiors at the moment... the BMWs are bland in comparison
 
Is this the car that Raymond 'Red' Reddington drives in the Blacklist?

That would be one of the S-classes. Not too sure if its an AMG version. The latest merc's all look the same. if not for scale, I dont think I would be able to tell apart a C class from an E or S.

BMW have been bland for over 20 years in the interior department.... they work and decently enough but they're meh in comparison.

That for me is the biggest issue... it was always easy to tell them apart, and the C-class was nice, E-class was nicer and S-Class was just epic... now they're all so samey.

"Coinciding with the world premiere of the new E-Class Estate from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG is presenting the new E43 4Matic Estate. With the powerful 295 kW (401 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine, 9G‑TRONIC automatic transmission with shortened shift times, rear-biased AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel drive and model-specific suspension, the first performance stage of this all-rounder boasts the AMG brand's hallmark driving performance. The striking exterior design and more sporty interior underline the model's membership of the AMG family, and immediately indicate what the new E43 4Matic Estate is mainly about: the driving performance that is a hallmark of the brand.

"In recent months we have considerably expanded our model range for performance-oriented customers with our new 43 models, creating numerous new ways of entering the world of Mercedes-AMG. The new E43 4Matic Estate adds a particularly versatile alternative for business and recreation to this portfolio," says Tobias Moers, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

As in the case of the E-Class Saloon, Mercedes-AMG has also increased the output of the six-cylinder engine in the Estate model to 295 kW (401 hp) with the help of two larger turbochargers and specific software applications. The peak torque of 520 Newton metres is already available from 2500 rpm.

This package guarantees performance on a par with many a sports car: the new E43 4Matic reaches a speed of 100 km/h from a standing start in 4.7 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h."

That's pretty nice. One day when I'm old and have to much money I'll get myself an "ou oom kar" like that.
