A Mercedes that gives you a “racer feel”

Black leather upholstery is accented with bright red stitching throughout for a real “racer” feel. Speaking of which, this vehicle boasts 0-100 km in 4.4 seconds. That’s more than enough to put a smile on your face on the track. AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9 speed, 3.0L AMG inline-6 turbo engine and 462 hp and 384 lb-ft torque are what gets you there. The classic inline-6 takes on futuristic form: a belt-less turbo engine with EQ Boost electric assist.

This edition sports classic Mercedes-AMG E53 coupe has a signature sweeping profile, and is a pillarless hard-top coupe. That’s even more seductive and advanced. AMG E53 is the ideal pairing of E-Class innovation and AMG inspiration. The design known as pillarless design is a bodystyle only Mercedes-Benz has produced continuously for more than 50 years. It features no visible framework interrupting the four power side windows. It takes an extensive degree of engineering to deliver the airy elegance and sporty energy of a pillarless coupe with the security and solidity expected of a Mercedes-Benz.

Bold and confident

After a few minutes, the heating level is automatically reduced to maintain lasting comfort. Mercedes-AMG E-53 is ideal for any driving conditions. But a cool feature like AIRSCARF neck-level heating system means you’ll enjoy driving with the windows down further into a cool evening or later into the season. Tilt-adjustable vents beneath each front head restraint deliver warmed airflow to your neck, head and shoulders. Hence the name “airscarf”.

With individual three-stage temperature controls and airflow automatically adjusted to your driving speed, AIRSCARF means you don’t have to put the windows up just because the sun, or thermometer, has gone down. The Mercedes Benz E-53 is a “class of its own” car you’ll love to be seen in but it’s also a dream to drive.
