Full throttle Autobahn acceleration test with the facelifted 2014 Mercedes-Benz E400 sedan powered by a 3.0 Biturbo V6 delivering 333 hp and 480 Nm of torque throughout a very wide power-band. Instead of double clutch transmissions Mercedes sticks to its 7G-Tronic PLUS gearbox which definitely has its advantages on the comfort side not on the fast shiftings. Still, the figures are impressive if you consider this being equally quick as a new Golf 7 R or a Jaguar F-Type V6 Coupe, at least on the Autobahn. Actually Mercedes recently announced a change for the 2015 model-year which includes an upgrade to a 3.5 liter machine, still being a V6 Biturbo with the same power. Looking at the E-Class it seems that only the 4Matic versions and the new CLS 400 will be getting the 3.5, RWD sedan and SL 400 still sticking to the 3.0. But hey, now its time for your thoughts and COMMENTs on this car. Do you have more infos about the engine change or do you LIKE what you see;-) Please also think about a free SUBSCRIPTION to Automann-TV.
