A limited edition 6.3L version, also badged E60 AMG were built in 1996 generating 405 PS (298 kW) and 454 ft·lbf (616 N·m) of torque.

The body styling on all of the W210 AMG models was the same until 2000 when a facelift and interior upgrades were implemented. The 210 E55 was the last vehicle that a major portion of production took place at AMG in Affalterbach. Production was actually split between Affalterbach and the Bremen Mercedes Benz facility until the end of 2001.
