2024 Mercedes-AMG E63 Could Suffer The Same Fate And Get Hybrid Four-Cylinder Says Report
We already know the upcoming Mercedes-AMG C63 range will be powered by the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder found in the little A45 S albeit with a lot more power thanks to the plug-in hybrid help but is the much larger E63 going to suffer the same fate?
According to a new report by Autocar, the next-generation Mercedes-AMG E63 could drop the twin-turbo V8 for a tuned-up four-cylinder with a big-battery plug-in hybrid system.
The UK publication claimed “Mercedes officials have hinted” the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged ‘M177’ V8 powering the current Mercedes-AMG E63 will be phased out, in favour of a version of the next-generation C63’s powertrain. Yes, that is the 2.0-litre turbo ‘M139’ four-cylinder paired with a high-output plug-in hybrid system and all-wheel drive.
Autocar claims the combined out will reach 600 hp (447 kW) but we think it will be close to or even above the 480 kW figure announced earlier this year to offset the additional weight of the battery pack.

Next Mercedes-AMG E63 to go four-cylinder as well?
A new report out of the UK has suggested that the upcoming Mercedes-AMG E63 will use a hybridised turbocharged 2,0-litre four-cylinder engine option much like the soon-to- be-revealed C63. Furthermore, hints about the entire W214 generation saloon have been detailed.
According to information sourced by Autocar, officials have hinted that the twin-turbocharged 4,0-litre V8 unit will no longer be used in the Mercedes-AMG E63.Taking its place up-front will be an emotive turbocharged 2,0-litre four-cylinder M139 unit with the support of a plug-in hybrid system for a total output of up to 447 kW.
The next-generation E-Class will focus on technology and refinement and introduce a more advanced electric architecture. With this, the sedan will support level three autonomous driving capabilities where allowed, together with 5G connectivity for high-speed over-the-air software updates.
We can expect the next Mercedes-Benz E-Class to adopt a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspension setup with the option of air suspension and rear-wheel steering. The wheelbase will also be elongated with an increase in the rear track to maximise interior space. Additional engine options will include the existing M254 four-cylinder petrol and OM654 four-cylinder diesel units with a starter-generator and 48V electrical system.

662kW Brabus 900 E63 AMG is a self-confessed wolf in sheep’s clothing
We certainly wouldn’t say that this menacing sedan lacks sinister presence, but Brabus unashamedly refers to its new beast as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
That’s because what’s beneath the bonnet is the far scarier part of the equation. The standard Mercedes-AMG E63 S is already at the upper end of its game with outputs of 450kW and 850Nm, but the Brabus 900 sedan takes things to crazy new heights with a grand total of 662kW at 6200rpm, and 1250Nm from 2900rpm.
That, according to claims, is enough to get the Brabus 900 from 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds and on to 200km/h in just 9.7s, while the top speed is electronically governed to 330km/h in order to “not overstress the tyres”.
As you’d expect from Brabus, there’s a lot more than just a software tweak going on here. For starters the displacement of the engine has been increased from 4.0-litres to 4.5-litres by boring out the eight cylinder engine block to 84mm and fitting it with corresponding larger pistons.
To help realise the engine’s full potential, the German tuner also developed a more efficient force-feeding system, which includes two Brabus high-performance turbochargers with a larger compressor unit and a special core assembly with reinforced axial bearings. This configuration enables a maximum boost pressure of 1.4 bar.

BRABUS 900 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Is A Supercar Slayer Packing 888 HP (662 kW)
For sharper handling, the tuner lowered the ride by 20mm.
With rumours suggesting the next-gen Mercedes-AMG E 63 S making use of a four-cylinder hybrid setup, individuals around the world may want to hang on to their current E 63 S for a bit.
If the power output of the standard car is getting a bit ‘tame’ for your liking, Brabus can come to the rescue to create an entirely new animal with the Brabus 900.
To squeeze every drop of power out of the V8, they increased the displacement from 4.0-litres to 4.5 by boring out the eight-cylinder block to 84 millimetres (3.3 inches). They then installed larger pistons, a custom billet crankshaft, and eight bespoke piston rods to lengthen the stroke to 100 mm (3.9 in).
On top of that, the tuner installed its own pair of turbochargers with a maximum boost pressure of 1.4 bar. The V8 now breathes through a new exhausts system fully made from stainless steel, while the modified intake improves air supply.
The result is a supercar slaying 888 hp (662 kW) and 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft) of torque which is available from just 2,900 rpm. They have had to electrically cap the torque to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) to protect the crucial components but even with this, it is able to sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds.

Mercedes-AMG E63 Final Edition ends 36 years of pure-V8 saloons
Hottest version of current E-Class bows out with limited edition; will return with a four-cylinder PHEV
The new Mercedes-AMG E63 Final Edition brings production of Affalterbach's pure-combustion V8 sports saloons to a close.
It has been revealed in the wake of two concept cars previewing the electrified future of Mercedes's performance division, the outlandish Vision AMG and a prototype for the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 PHEV. The E63 Final Edition serves as a swansong for the firm's pure-combustion sports saloons - a lineage that dates back to the W124-generation E-Class 'Hammer' of 1986 - then the world's fastest saloon.
The V8 engine will continue to play a part in AMG's future - it is still available in the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupé, produces some 577bhp in the hottest version of the new SL and is used in an 819bhp plug-in hybrid system in the new GT 63 S E-Performance – but is set to be swapped out for an electrified four-cylinder unit in the next E63.
When it arrives, likely in 2024, the next-generation E63 is tipped to use a variant of the same PHEV system destined for its smaller C63 sibling. Officially detailed last week, this set-up comprises a 470bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine – the most powerful four-cylinder in series production – and a 201bhp EV motor on the rear axle for a total output of 670bhp.
If that PHEV drivetrain is carried over wholesale to the next E63, it will give it a 77bhp edge over the current V8 car – and could see it improve upon its 3.5sec 0-62mph time and 180mph top speed.
But for now, in Final Edition form, the E63 soldiers on with the eight-cylinder lump, sending 603bhp and 627lb ft to both axles through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Mercedes-AMG E63 S Final Edition Says Goodbye to V8 Power
It’s time to say goodbye to Merc’s glorious 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Mercedes-AMG has unleashed the limited edition E63 S Final Edition which will be the last E63 to feature V8 power and only 999 units will be offered worldwide.
It’s both a sad and great day for AMG fans as the E63 S 4Matic Final Edition has been revealed, marking the end of the formidable 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that does duty under the bonnet with 450 kW and 850 Nm of torque. Variable all-wheel drive with rear-wheel bias and a Drift Mode allows for spirited driving in capable hands and the E63 S is no slouch as it’s capable of accelerating from zero to 100 kph in just 3.4 seconds.
With a limited production run of just 999 units worldwide, this hot number is bound to become a collectors item.
For this swansong creation, the boffins at AMG have left the V8 engine untouched but the model’s appearance has been appreciably enhanced to make it extra special.

The Mercedes-AMG E63 S Final Edition is the last one to get V8 power
Affalterbach is signing off the AMG E63 with a limited-run Final Edition
The W213, fifth-gen chapter of the E-Class story is coming to an end, and Merc’s performance division is marking the occasion with a grand finale in the shape of the AMG E 63 S Final Edition.
Limited to 999 units and available in saloon and estate forms, the Final Edition will be your last chance to acquire that 604bhp, 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 before hybridisation sweeps in with the Mk6.
As you’d expect there’s a suitable amount of special trim to make the car worthy of a last hurrah, with 20in forged black alloys, matt graphite magno paint, plus - courtesy of AMG’s Night Package - various high gloss black elements that include the front splitter, trim strips, window surrounds and mirror housing.
Black chrome twin tailpipes have been thrown in for good measure, and there’s tinted glass from the b-pillar backwards too. AMG emblems on the c-pillars will remind fellow road users of your likely superiority in the event of an impromptu drag race.
Inside you benefit from AMG’s Seat Package High-End, um, pack, which adds Nappa leather-finished seats that are extra supportive ‘for dynamic driving manoeuvres’, so says Merc.
