About the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 Facelift
The W212 facelift E63 AMG S-Model represented a significant shift for AMG, introducing the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system to handle the massive torque of the M157 biturbo V8. This generation is highly regarded by collectors for its brutal acceleration and more aggressive 'twin-blade' radiator grille styling compared to the pre-facelift models. It offers a dual personality, functioning as a refined luxury cruiser while possessing the capability to outperform contemporary supercars in a straight line. The S-Model specifically added a limited-slip rear differential and increased boost pressure for maximum performance.
