28 May 2020|2,885 views
Mercedes-AMG continues to strengthen its distinctive range - the new E53 Coupe and Cabriolet receive the iconic AMG-specific radiator grille with vertical slats, emphasising its performance credentials and clear membership in the AMG family.
Large displays, a new AMG Performance steering wheel and the revolutionary MBUX infotainment system with AMG-specific functions and displays reinforce the characteristic AMG Performance Luxury ambience.
The AMG-enhanced 3.0-litre in-line six turbo engine with electric auxiliary compressor generates an output of 423bhp and produces a peak torque of 521Nm. Its EQ Boost starter-generator briefly provides up to an additional 21bhp of output plus up to 249Nm of torque, while also feeding the 48V on-board electrical system.
Other highlights of the new models include the AMG Speedshift TCT 9G transmission and the variable all-wheel drive system, AMG Performance 4MATIC+.
With the five Dynamic Select drive programs 'Slippery', 'Comfort', 'Sport', 'Sport+' and 'Individual', the characteristics of the new 53-series models can be influenced with the tap of a finger. Independently of the Dynamic Select drive programs, the driver has the option of pressing the manual shifting mode 'M' button to switch directly to manual mode, in which gearshifts are executed exclusively using the shift paddles on the steering wheel. AMG Dynamics vehicle dynamics control is integrated into the AMG Dynamic Select drive programs. The range spans from extremely stable to highly dynamic, for a comfort-biased or particularly sporty driving experience.
Enhanced agility, neutral cornering performance and greater traction come courtesy of the AMG Ride Control+ air suspension developed in Affalterbach.
The multi-chamber air suspension with sporty spring/damper set-up and continuously adjustable damping Adaptive Damping System+ combines outstanding driving dynamics with high levels of ride comfort.
The damping at each wheel is adjusted to suit the current driving situation and the condition of the road. The damping characteristics can also be preselected in three modes, 'Comfort', 'Sport' and 'Sport+', enabling a selectable differentiation between excellent long-distance comfort and more sporty driving dynamics. The standard variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive combines optimised traction for dynamic driving with a high level of safety in a variety of conditions - in dry, wet or on slippery surfaces. The transition from rear-wheel to all- wheel drive and vice versa is seamless, thanks to the intelligent control is integrated into the overall vehicle system architecture.
The interior welcomes the occupants with distinctive appointments, luxurious materials and the latest-generation MBUX infotainment system.
The standard seats upholstered in MB-Tex with DINAMICA microfibre in an AMG-specific design, red contrasting topstitching and AMG badging are characteristic for the AMG 53-series models, and combine sporty design with strong lateral support and comfort for long journeys.
Two displays for the instrument cluster and multimedia screen blend together beneath a shared glass cover to form the Widescreen Cockpit. The customer can choose between three AMG display styles for the instrument cluster, including the particularly striking 'Supersport' mode, featuring a central, round rev counter and additional information presented in perspective. Via the AMG menu, the driver can select various special displays such as Engine Data, gear speed indicator, Warm-up, Set-up, G-Meter and Race timer. With individual AMG displays such as visualisation of the drive programs or telemetry data, the touchscreen multimedia display also enhances the dynamic configuration.
With a fresh design and seamlessly integrated buttons, the new AMG Performance steering wheel creates an even closer connection between driver and machine.
The three rounded twin-spokes combine stability with lightness, while the flat-bottom steering wheel rim is a hallmark derived from motorsport. The wheel is available in leather, in DINAMICA microfibre, or as a combination of leather and DINAMICA.
The steering wheel rim also features a new sensor mat to recognise 'hands-on' the wheel. If the driver does not have their hands on the steering wheel for a certain time, a warning sequence is started, which finally activates Emergency Brake Assist if the driver continues to be inactive. The AMG Speedshift TCT nine-speed transmission can be operated by hand, via the galvanised shift paddles arranged on the left and right sides behind the steering wheel rim. For even more precise shift commands the paddles are now slightly larger and positioned lower down.
