2017 E-Class: The Perfect AMG® Mercedes-Benz

What Is The Best Mercedes-AMG For Everyday Driving?

When Mercedes-Benz and AMG® officially got hitched in 1999, something happened. Something magically dangerous. Sure, AMG® was founded by two Mercedes-Benz engineers and worked closely with Mercedes-Benz since the 1960s, but still, it’s a different company, and it still counts. After 1999, Mercedes-Benz AMG® vehicles went from fast to insane. In fact, most AMG® vehicles after 2000 are simply too responsive for someone who just needs to get to work. Still, the cars are awesome, so do you buy a Honda to get you to work in the weekdays? No. You don’t.

E-Class History: E Is For Einspritzmotor

2017 Mercedes-AMG E43

If you are a dedicated AMG® fan, you could argue that even the GT S can be used as a daily driver. Especially thanks to DYNAMIC SELECT® driving modes and intelligent suspension, you would be right. Still, if you want the speed without putting you and your investment at risk on the road, The 2017 Mercedes-AMG E43 is the best car for everyday driving.

Specifications

We don’t mean to imply that the E-Class is slow. It isn’t. With an AMG® 3.0L biturbo V6, the E43 puts out 396 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. This is 67 more horsepower than the E400 it will be replacing and with this configuration, the E-Class can jump from zero to 60 in just 4.5 seconds. That is only one second slower than a 1000cc sport bike or a 911 turbo!

Driver Assistance

While many AMG® cars push the 500 horsepower limit, the Mercedes-AMG E43 focuses more on driving experience than raw power. In addition to this, it also features more driver-assistance features than any other Mercedes-Benz or AMG in history, making it semi-autonomous. These technologies will keep you in your lane better than any other luxury car on the market.
