Picked up a stablemate for my C63.
'14 E550 4MATIC. 4.6L biturbo V8. Wanted the new E63 but settled for this. I plan on tuning it and extracting a lot of additional power from that motor.
Here are some low-quality iPhone pics. Planning on taking some better pics of it with the C63. The E550's little step-brother:

Thanks guys. Appreciate the kind words.
Can't wait to get through the break-in. Or should I skip it?

I skipped it on my s class, but went through it on my m3. No regrets on either, the torque is insane though. Look into a renntech tune, I personally haven't had it done, but did have a chance to experience it. If I didn't have another car on order, it would have been done.

I went with the Eurocharged tune for the C63. They offer a pretty strong/aggressive tune for the E550 as well. Renntech is an outstanding company though. It's run by a former AMG engineer.

Holy moly what a pair! The new E-Class is truly beautiful.. How does the V8 sound compared to the C63?
When is the CLA45 joining the crew? Congratulations and be sure to post more pics, especially of the two together.. |

The biturbo V8 is pretty docile and smooth when just cruising around town but when you get on the throttle, both the motor and the exhaust let out a very deep, throaty growl. Very impressive sound for a turbo engine. Car & Driver ripped off a 4.3 0-60 time with the E550 and I'm not surprised whatsoever with that result. The engine, in combination with 4MATIC, makes for some devastating launches. I'm hoping to improve substantially on the stock 1/4 mile time of 12.8 sec @ 112 mph with the Eurocharged tune. My first opportunity to get a CLA45 locally won't be until after July, unfortunately.

Nice! My mom has the 2013 E550 4 MATIC. Same engine I think, but I love the facelift!

The C63. In every way. And it's not even close.
Skip to about 28 seconds in.

The fastest 0-60 time for the "standard" C63 that I've seen is 3.9 seconds. Race Start helps quite a bit once you get the tires warmed up. Quote:
Haha thanks! It's so easy to tune turbo cars these days . . . hard to resist the temptation of easy power.

lol thanks. When I downshift to third using the paddle(s), the result is frightened women and children.
I imagine the result is similar when you upshift past 8,000?

What's the best 0-60 time that you've recorded? I'd imagine it's capable of less than 3.9 since you got it tuned. Quarter mile times?
