E53 AMG Coupe

His content is good. His lisp drives me up the wall though.

[BavarianBeast]

Ah I missed that part. That's pretty sick actually, I can see the value in it now.

[killramos]

It’s a pretty cool concept.

[rage2]

It’s 430hp with boost up to 450hp and zero lag. Shmee’s and others complaints is that it’s watering down the AMG name. It’s a great car that shouldn’t be an AMG.

The pricing of the car is in line with the old E550 which is what the 43 and 53 replaced. I would’ve bought it if it was an E530 non AMG, but it’s nice that it got some AMG bits such as the exhaust noise and ESP programs.

I’ve been looking forward to this drivetrain since it was announced. I even got green rebates for insurance as it’s a hybrid. I predicted 2 years ago that we would see a performance hybrid at under $100k. Really thought bmw/Toyota collaboration would be first to market and not Mercedes.

The instant 180 ft/lb from the EQ boost sounds like it's going to be awesome for booting around town as well.

Looks fantastic. Well done.

I wish I wasn't too lazy for black cars.

[BavarianBeast]

Sharp ride, congrats.

I take it you weren't able to get the wheels you wanted? They look like somebody busted some coat hangers in half and turned them into rims lol. Otherwise it looks awesome. Is the lower rear diffuser carbon?

[schocker]

That looks awesome.

Congrats! Now you can go racing to watch shopping haha

Correct. I was just literally whining about it in my group chat.

No carbon, I purposely did not order any carbon pieces. The only carbon pieces available are the interior trim that replaces the wood, mirrors and spoiler. No CF diffuser at all.

Nicely done. Initial impressions?

I'm not picking it up until Monday. I did drive the CLS53 though. The exhaust note is terrific. Drives like a NA car, instant response, with a bonus huge tq boost off the line. The new grey open pore wood is amazing. Wish it was available on the E.

[killramos]

Congrats!

[Darkane]

Gorgeous car Rage.

[Disoblige]

Nice!
Going with full wrap, tint, etc?

Those are actually one of my favourite Benz wheels right now. VN car.

Is an e53 wagon confirmed for Canada?

[Buster]

Wagon confirmed, already one landed and sold.

I like the wheels

The “base” wheel is much nicer. It’s basically a 20” version of the CLK Black Series wheel with and without black accents.

that rear valence is screaming to be painted though... or wrapped?
