The S specification within the modern E63 AMG line is a recurring proposition each generation: same base car, but with sharpened settings, higher output and additional standard equipment. In the W213 generation (2016-2022) the E63 S is the most extreme regular luxury performance car AMG has ever built. Beneath the bonnet sits the biturbo 4.0-litre M177 V8 producing 612 hp and 850 Nm, 41 hp more than the standard W213 E63. Standard equipment: AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with Drift Mode, AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT-9G transmission, AMG Dynamic Plus package with sharpened steering and rear-wheel steering, and the ability to switch to rear-wheel drive only when DSC is disabled. For anyone seeking the last pre-PHEV E63, the E63 S W213 is it. The W214 generation has replaced the V8 with a PHEV drivetrain.
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), sharpened chassis, leather specification with embroidery, and 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 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 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 Yellow Magnet (a specific yellow-Magnet colour) with yellow AMG details, Edition badges, and 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 unique colour configuration, 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, 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, and 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 original 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 original 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 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 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with variable torque distribution. The system can also engage Drift Mode (fully rear-wheel drive for track use) when ESP is fully disabled. For collectors and enthusiast drivers, confirmation via diagnostics of working 4MATIC+ and Drift Mode is essential.
For E63 S collectors, factory designo colours and 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 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 diagnostics for turbo condition, head gaskets, and cooling system. For the W213 4MATIC+: 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 unique colour configuration, Edition details (leather specification with embroidery, Edition badges), and specific accessories. For collectors, confirmation via 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.
4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with variable torque distribution. Document 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 diagnostics of 4MATIC+. Major service intervals depend on specification.
Paint colour with factory code, designo confirmation if applicable, Edition 1 (2017, factory Yellow Magnet) or Final Edition (2022) confirmation, carbon packs exterior and interior, AMG Performance Studio details, leather specification with embroidery. For collectors factory designo and limited Edition specifications are substantially higher priced.
The W213 E63 S Edition 1 (2017) has Yellow Magnet colour, yellow AMG details, and Edition badges. The W213 E63 S Final Edition (2022) has unique colour configuration and Final Edition specific details. Confirm all Edition elements are original.
The W213 E63 S Estate combines 612 hp biturbo V8 and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with practical luggage volume. Confirm estate package, side exhausts, wheels, and lifestyle options (independent rear seats, panoramic sunroof, Bang & Olufsen audio). For collectors, 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.
