I Think it is of interest to find out, the whereabouts of the E400 "Japaneze AMG" Think of it...named E400,,,,brilliant,,,,
MB allready had, 500E 400E E420 E500 and the E60 AMG, it could have been called E42 AMG!
Well now, maybe as a showcase and for Japan only, in the spring 2016 Classic Mercedes interesting issue (Super Cab)
500E, SL60 and many older cars R107 special and so on but most interesting imo was the E400, appearing to be of Sport Line
origin, it also does have something up front, 230kw/425nm.....
Not as bold as the E60 but I Think it is a capable gapfiller sort of, se it this way, you start with a 034, wow what a nice car, then
you try an 036 for size, WOW really something else, then, you get to experience the E60,500 6liter, double WOW.
If then, you happen to like the 034 wich is a sweet nice car with an understated appearence and a Little lack of oump, the E400
comes in to make it agile enough.
So what are the physics, apart from a sportier chassi/interior/Wheels/AMG body plastics, of the motor?
It does not say anywhere but I belive, if you use from the 500, parts like camshafts, cylinder head configuration, also the
inlet manifold wich has somewhat bigger ports, do a reprogramming of the LH and you have hp Close to the 500, offcourse
not as much torque but 425nm and give this Little Brother a first gear start you will not be too sorry for not having a 500.
You can do this yourself, if you do not want to go all the way and change to a 500 motor, step by step this is at worst
lifting the heads to put the bigger valve 500 heads and manifold on, not too complicated compared with the motor out
operation, and if you have a sound 4.2 in there, go for this relatively cheap/safe way of "muscle it up"
How far out is this, not much I Think but enough to intimidate your 036 fellas at times, a real sleeper.....
