The interior is unmistakably Mercedes AMG with multifunction sports steering wheel with Touch Control in black Nappa leather. A high-resolution 12.3″ instrument screen gives details about in and around the car along with the navigation. The AMG DYNAMIC SELECT “Sport” and “Sport Plus” transmission modes are made to give the driver more intuitive shifts. For those who want an AMG but care for the environment in equal measure, there is an ECO mode. The ECO start/stop function and the gliding function reduce fuel consumption: when the driver releases the accelerator in a speed range between 31 and 99 mph, the clutch is disengaged and the engine is decoupled from the powertrain.
There are traces of Formula1 technology coming to passenger cars. The NANOSLIDE coating on the cylinder liners reduces friction and is wear-resistant.
“The new AMG E43 offers impressive driving dynamics coupled with cutting-edge efficiency. Twin turbocharging, features adopted from motorsport and characteristic AMG design immediately indicate to our customers that the new E-Class from AMG offers pure Driving Performance coupled with cutting-edge technology and intense emotion,” notes Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
This car will come to Indian shores next year.
