The new AMG sports package combines an array of appealing
optional items (many of them not available on their own), such as AMG
bodystyling, more sportily tuned suspension, special seats and the AMG ergonomic
sports steering wheel. AMG bodystyling includes a strikingly shaped AMG front
apron with large cooling air inlets and chrome-ringed, oval fog lamps, as
well as a powerful AMG rear apron featuring two oval, chromed AMG exhaust
tailpipes. New rear silencers help to provide a rich engine note. Also included
in the AMG sports package are sterling-silver-painted 8.5-inch and 9-inch-wide
18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a classic five-spoke design, shod with
245/40 R 18 (front) and 265/35 R 18 (rear ) wide-base tyres. The 4MATIC models
are fitted with 245/40 tyres on AMG 8.5 x 18 light-alloy wheels front and
rear. Enhanced levels of handling dynamism are ensured by the more sporty
suspension tuning on models with steel springs, speed-sensitive power-assisted
steering and perforated front brake discs plus silver-painted brake callipers
bearing Mercedes-Benz lettering.
The AMG sports package's roll-call of impressive
features is continued inside, with sporty and stylish combinations of colours
and materials. Modified contouring of the special front seats means they
give even better lateral support on fast bends. Upholstery in ARTICO man-made
leather with colour-contrasting double topstitching lends the interior its
own particular atmosphere. Further specification belonging to the AMG sports
package includes the new, leather-covered AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel,
the sports-look leather/aluminium selector lever, sports pedals made of brushed
stainless steel with rubber studs, and velour floor mats with AMG lettering.
Models with automatic transmission come with the 7G-TRONIC Sport version.
In manual mode "M" the gears can be changed using new steering-wheel shift
paddles, while faster response and shift times add yet further to the pleasure
of driving the car. In addition, acceleration times are also shortened by
up to 0.2 seconds - for instance from 6.9 to 6.7 seconds in the case of the
E 350, and from 5.1 to 4.9 seconds in the case of the E 500.
