The car
With the W213 generation the E63 S became an all-wheel-drive car that can still behave like a rear-drive one. Its AMG Performance 4MATIC+ system drives the rear axle permanently and uses an electromechanical clutch to vary how much torque reaches the front, all the way down to none, and it includes a Drift Mode.
Under the hood is AMG’s hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, here with twin-scroll turbochargers and cylinder deactivation as standard. It is paired with a nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT that launches on a wet clutch rather than a torque converter. Mercedes-Benz quotes 0–60 mph in 3.3 seconds for the sedan.
The sedan went on sale as a 2018 model and the wagon, with 35 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, came alongside it. Below it in the range sits the six-cylinder E53 AMG (W213), which has its own page.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 604 hp and 630 lb-ft to 760 hp and 735 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 800 hp and 750 lb-ft. The gearbox has its own controller and torque limits, so the optional TCU tune raises them to match, with sharper shifts and stronger clutch clamping.

FAQ

Our online catalog lists Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes for 2018–2023 Mercedes-Benz E63 S AMG (W213) models. Choose your year at the top of the page; the figures and prices are the same for every year.
Yes. Mercedes-Benz USA offered the E63 S as both a sedan and a wagon, with the same V8, nine-speed MCT and 4MATIC+ drive. The wagon is quoted a tenth slower to 60 mph than the sedan, and its limiter is set at 180 mph instead of 186.
Cars from the 2021 model year on have the revised front, with a larger central intake carrying the AMG grille with vertical slats and flatter LED headlamps; on the sedan the tail lights now reach into the trunk lid. Inside they gain MBUX and a new AMG steering wheel. Early and updated cars share the drivetrain, and this page covers both.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and runs on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 pairs the calibration with supporting bolt-on modifications such as downpipes and runs on high-octane fuel. On a 2023 car, Stage 1 takes it from 604 hp to 760 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 800 hp.
A TCU tune is available as an add-on ($2,399). It raises the transmission’s torque limits and sharpens the shifts so the gearbox can handle the extra power. Ship your TCU in the same box as your ECU.
