New Mercedes E-Class AMG Sport Package Revealed

As soon as the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class goes on sale in March the AMG sports package will also be available as an option. The AMG sports package will be priced at between €2,915 and €4,046 (incl. 19% VAT), and includes some features that would not be made available individually.

What the package offers are exterior modifications like AMG side skirts, a front apron with large air intakes, 18-inch AMG light alloy wheels and brake calipers with the Mercedes-Benz logo at the front. The DIRECT CONTROL suspension system is lowered by 15mm and comes standard with the package.

More differentiating features that make the E-Class look sportier are the tailpipes. In the four-cylinder petrol models the twin pipes are oval shaped and polished in stainless steel. For the diesel four-cylinder cars the single oval pipe is also polished in stainless steel. The six-cylinder E-Class fitted with AMG sports package can be seen sporting rectangular exhaust pipes that are integrated into the AMG rear apron.

When stepping inside a vehicle with the AMG package a number of alterations are apparent. Some of these are AMG-badged floor mats, sports foot pedals, sports seats, a gearshift lever covered in nappa leather and chrome highlights and a three-spoke AMG sports steering wheel. Shift peddles come with automatic-shift models for a more engaging drive.
