Mercedes-AMG E53 returns as hot 603bhp PHEV

The E-Class’s chassis has been given the full AMG treatment, too, bringing additional bracing on the front and rear axle for extra stiffness, a front track width increased by 11mm, and new twin-chamber suspension dampers which tout “clearly noticeable” changes in their various settings: Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus. 

The braking system has also been optimised to work with the hybrid powertrain’s energy recuperation.

Styling changes over the standard E-Class include an illuminated AMG-specific grille, flared front wheel arches to accommodate the wider track, larger air intakes, a prominent rear diffuser, ducktail spoiler and circular quad exhausts. 

To signal its extra grunt, the AMG Dynamic Plus package adds various performance-flavoured cues including red callipers for its beefier brakes and a microfibre-wrapped steering wheel.
