Looks! Awesome! Better then the E55 AMG! Hopefully this car has a better handling then the old E55 AMG

Just drove it today (and CLS 63 AMG, E 420 CDI with 730 Nm torque).
Nice sound, much better steering than before, more predictable ... Nice car to slide around and very very fast. Hits 250 kph limiter so hard that jour head jerks forward. Im 110% sure that it would go 320 or more without limiter.
Unofrtunaletly road was a bit wet (dam weather) so it was kind of spinning wheels in 3rd gear without ESP, so hard launches were not an option ... Did a nice burnout, though. I think there's a willage in germany that is stil enveloped in smoke

Sound like an interesting day. Nice to hear about the improvements on the E63. What was the E420 CDI like? Must be monstrous with those 730 Nm:s of torque. Does it still use the old 5 speed auto?

Ghostbat: 420 CDI is great for a diesel, now has 7G-Tronic. Unfortunately there is no model T (wagon) or 4-Matic (as 4-Matic seems not being able to handle 730 Nm of torque).
The car is fast, but not as fast as 500, which costs the same! Especially over 180 kph 500 is better, sound is better, everything is better. Even in comsumption there0's only 2-3 litres differecce (which is unimportant if ypou have money toi buy and run 70k€ car) ...
