## What is the E 63 S like to drive?

Deceptively normal until you use it. The V8 is assembled by hand and produces 603bhp, taking the car to 62mph in 3.4 seconds through all-wheel drive that can send everything rearward when asked. In Comfort the dampers soften, the exhaust quietens and it behaves like an E-Class. The gap between those two states is the whole appeal.

## Is it practical enough for daily use?

Yes. It is an E-Class underneath, so there are five seats, a boot that takes a family's luggage and rear doors that open properly. Fuel consumption is the honest cost: expect low twenties to the gallon driven gently and rather less otherwise. The tyres are wide and expensive, which is our concern rather than yours on a hire.

## What does it cost to hire?

A refundable £3,000 deposit and a matching insurance excess apply, and mileage is 12,000 miles a year with £1.50 a mile beyond that. The driver must be 30 or over with three years on a full licence.

## E 63 S or a performance SUV?

The saloon sits lower, changes direction more readily and is quieter at speed. An SUV gives you a view over hedges and a taller boot. On a British road the E 63 S is the more satisfying car; for a family holiday with luggage the GLE 63 S is the more sensible one. Both use versions of the same 4.0-litre V8.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Mercedes-AMG E 63 S in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through vetted partners rather than supplying it from our own fleet, and we confirm a specific car and your dates before anything is agreed.

### Is the E 63 still built?

The E 63 S ended production in 2023 and the current E-Class range has no direct replacement yet. Cars we source are late examples of that model, so the individual car matters. We tell you the year and specification of the one you are getting.

### What is Drift Mode?

A setting that disconnects the front axle so all 603bhp goes to the rear wheels. It requires the stability control to be switched off and is intended for a circuit. It is not something to use on a public road, and any track use has to be agreed with the supplying partner first.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
