The Mercedes-AMG E63 S is the top specification within the modern E63 AMG line and the most extreme regular luxury performance sedan segment from Mercedes-AMG. On the W213 generation (2017-2023, the generation where the S specification was most prominently positioned), the E63 S produces 612 hp from the 4.0-litre biturbo M177 V8, combined with factory-installed 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and factory-installed Drift Mode for track use. Additionally on the W212 (post-facelift, 2013-2016) an E63 S specification also existed with 585 hp from the 5.5-litre biturbo M157. For collectors the E63 S represents the peak of AMG executive performance: extreme power, factory-installed luxury specification, and (on W213) factory-installed 4MATIC+ with variable torque distribution. An E63 S is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the modern AMG biturbo V8 culture and values the specific S specification within the E63 line.
The Mercedes-AMG E63 S AMG specification was introduced in 2013 on the post-facelift W212 generation. The S specification offered 585 hp from the 5.5-litre biturbo M157 V8 (a 28 hp increase over the regular W212 E63), factory-installed sharpened chassis, factory-installed leather specification with factory embroidery, and factory-installed Performance details. The W212 E63 S retained rear-wheel drive and was delivered as sedan and estate. For collectors the W212 E63 S is the first positioned S specification within the E63 line, an important marker in the evolution of AMG executive performance.
In 2017 Mercedes-AMG unveiled the W213 E63 S with substantial technical updates. The engine was replaced by the 4.0-litre biturbo M177 V8 (shared with the AMG GT line) with 612 hp and 850 Nm of torque. The drivetrain was expanded with factory-installed 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, an important difference from the W212 E63 S which had rear-wheel drive only. The 4MATIC+ system has variable torque distribution between front and rear axles, with factory-installed Drift Mode that engages fully rear-wheel drive for track use. For collectors the W213 E63 S represents the modern AMG benchmark.
Two limited W213 E63 S specifications are particularly sought after by collectors. The Edition 1 (2017, limited introduction specification) was delivered in factory-installed Yellow Magnet (a specific yellow-Magnet colour) with factory-installed yellow AMG details, factory-installed Edition badges, and factory-installed Performance interior. The Edition 1 was available as sedan and estate. The E63 S Final Edition (2022) marks the end of the W213 V8 cycle and has factory-installed unique colour configuration, factory-installed contrast details, and specific Final Edition badges. For collectors both Edition specifications are substantially higher priced than regular W213 E63 S specifications.
The W213 E63 S Estate (T-Modell) is a unique segment within the luxury AMG market: a station wagon with 612 hp biturbo V8, factory-installed 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, and factory-installed Drift Mode. For buyers who value the combination of AMG performance with the practical usability of an estate, the E63 S Estate is the most extreme specification in its class. Production numbers are substantially lower than E63 S sedan specifications, making the estate specification scarcer for collectors. For collector-oriented sales of an E63 S Estate in factory Edition 1 or Final Edition specification, this is the most valuable segment within the W213 line.
The E63 S AMG has seen a stable valuation curve since the W213 launch. Regular W213 E63 S models in factory specification with proven Mercedes-AMG service history are a strong segment within the luxury performance sedan market. Edition 1 and Final Edition specifications are substantially higher priced; the E63 S Estate (in all specifications) has its own buyer pool with strong demand. For sellers this means a well-documented E63 S with proven Mercedes-AMG service history, original specification, and (for Edition specifications) confirmed factory specification attracts strong international interest. The buyer you want is a Mercedes-AMG enthusiast who values the specific S positioning within the E63 line.
W212 post-facelift E63 S AMG (2013-2016, 5.5-litre biturbo M157, 585 hp, rear-wheel drive only) or W213 E63 S AMG (2017-2023, 4.0-litre biturbo M177, 612 hp, 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive). Model year, chassis number, and engine number. For collectors the W213 E63 S with factory-installed 4MATIC+ is generally the modern benchmark.
The E63 S was delivered as sedan and as estate (T-Modell). The estate specification combines the 612 hp biturbo V8 and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with practical luggage volume - a unique segment in the luxury AMG market. For collectors and buyers who value this combination, the E63 S Estate is consistently higher priced than comparable sedan specifications.
The W213 E63 S introduced factory-installed 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with variable torque distribution. The system can also engage factory-installed Drift Mode (fully rear-wheel drive for track use) when ESP is fully disabled. For collectors and enthusiast drivers, confirmation via factory diagnostics of working 4MATIC+ and Drift Mode is essential.
For E63 S collectors, factory designo colours and factory-installed Edition packages (W213 Edition 1 from 2017 in factory Yellow Magnet, W213 E63 S Final Edition from 2022) strongly drive price. Other sought-after specifications include designo Cardinal Red Magno, designo Diamond White Magno, designo Magnetite Black Magno, and factory matte specifications.
E63 S service is specialist work: the 4.0-litre biturbo M177 V8 (W213) or the 5.5-litre biturbo M157 V8 (W212) requires factory diagnostics for turbo condition, head gaskets, and cooling system. For the W213 4MATIC+: factory diagnostics of the drivetrain and Drift Mode function. Service at a Mercedes-Benz dealer with AMG certification is essential.
The W213 E63 S Final Edition (2022, limited production as closure of the W213 V8 cycle) has factory-installed unique colour configuration, factory-installed Edition details (leather specification with factory embroidery, factory-installed Edition badges), and specific factory-installed accessories. For collectors, confirmation via factory documentation is essential.
For E63 S collectors moderate-to-low mileage (under 60,000) with full service history is more attractive than very high mileage. For limited Edition specifications low mileage matters more. For estate specifications use pattern (family, business, luxury-oriented) is relevant. Document factory build sheet and complete service history.
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
W212 E63 S AMG (post-facelift, 2013-2016, M157 biturbo, 585 hp, rear-wheel drive only) or W213 E63 S AMG (2017-2023, M177 biturbo, 612 hp, 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive). Body: sedan or estate (T-Modell). Model year, chassis number, and engine number. For collectors W213 is generally the more valuable generation.
Factory-installed 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with variable torque distribution. Document factory diagnostic report that the 4MATIC+ system is fully functional, including the option for fully rear-wheel drive (Drift Mode) when ESP is disabled. For collectors, proof of working 4MATIC+ and Drift Mode is essential.
All invoices from a Mercedes-Benz dealer with AMG certification or Mercedes-AMG Performance Center. For W212 M157 biturbo: turbo condition, head gaskets, cooling system. For W213 M177 biturbo: turbo condition, head gaskets, cooling system, and factory diagnostics of 4MATIC+. Major service intervals depend on specification.
Paint colour with factory code, designo confirmation if applicable, factory-installed Edition 1 (2017, factory Yellow Magnet) or Final Edition (2022) confirmation, factory carbon packs exterior and interior, AMG Performance Studio details, leather specification with factory embroidery. For collectors factory designo and limited Edition specifications are substantially higher priced.
The W213 E63 S Edition 1 (2017) has factory-installed Yellow Magnet colour, factory-installed yellow AMG details, and factory-installed Edition badges. The W213 E63 S Final Edition (2022) has factory-installed unique colour configuration and Final Edition specific factory-installed details. Confirm all factory-installed Edition elements are original.
The W213 E63 S Estate combines 612 hp biturbo V8 and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with practical luggage volume. Confirm factory-installed estate package, factory-installed side exhausts, factory-installed wheels, and factory-installed lifestyle options (independent rear seats, panoramic sunroof, factory-installed Bang & Olufsen audio). For collectors, factory documentation of estate specification is essential.
Number of previous owners, mileage, any trackday participation (the E63 S is designed for road use with optional track functionality), use pattern. For collector-oriented sales moderate mileage with full service history is acceptable; for Edition specifications low mileage is value-driving.
