2018-2019 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
New engine, new transmission, new all-wheel drive, new exterior and interior design: On the S63 4MATIC+ (combined fuel consumption: 8.9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 203 g/km), Mercedes-AMG has honed the driving dynamics and looks further. For improved performance with significantly reduced fuel consumption, the AMG 4.0-litre V-8 Biturbo engine with cylinder deactivation replaces the previous 5.5-litre V-8 Biturbo. Despite the smaller displacement, the new engine puts out 450 kW (612 hp) and thus exactly 20 kW (27 hp) more than the preceding model. With a sprint time of 3.5 seconds from zero to 100 km/h, the performance luxury saloon is on par with full-blooded sports cars. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9�'speed sports transmission supersedes the previous 7-speed transmission. This has enabled more agile response times to be achieved. The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system provides optimal traction.
At the same time as the S63 4MATIC+, the top-of-the-range model S65 (combined fuel consumption: 11.9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 279 g/km) has been given a visual update that underscores the flagship position of the 12-cylinder model. Its 6.0-litre V-12 Biturbo engine retains its output of 463 kW (630 hp) and peak torque of 1000 Newton metres. Thanks to the advanced stage of development of the V8 and V12 biturbo engine, both new models are among the leading competitors in terms of output and torque.
Exterior :
The new S63 4MATIC+ and the new S65 can be identified from the front by the MULTIBEAM LED headlamps with ULTRA RANGE Highbeam and the redesigned front apron with expressive jet wing. The large side air intakes provide an improved airflow to the cooling modules - their functional form is familiar from motorsport. The three-dimensional front splitter reduces lift at the front axle. The exclusivity of the S65 is further underlined by air inlet grilles in high-sheen chrome in the front apron.
The door sill panelling with three-dimensional high-gloss chrome inlays lower the S-Class visually closer to the road and create even more tension in the side. Typical features of the AMG S-Class models are the large forged light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 19 inches as standard on the S63 4MATIC+ and of 20 inches as standard on the S65. The exclusive forged wheels for the V12 saloon have an unusual design: each of the 16 spokes twists in a special way so that the light-catching contours radiate to the centre of the wheel hub. The effect: The wheel appears larger than its actual dimensions of 8.5 J x 20 at the front and 9.5 J x 20 at the rear. In addition, the ceramic mirror polishing ensure an exclusive look.
As standard, the forged wheels feature a high-quality, bolted and fully integrated wheel bolt cover made of forged aluminium. Its shape is reminiscent of a centre lock as seen in motorsport. The AMG logotype is incorporated into the rim as a design element. Three other forged wheels of the same size are optionally available - two design variants also painted matt black with a high-sheen rim flange.
The powerful rear end of the S63 4MATIC+ and S65 is formed by the updated rear apron with diffuser insert and the redesigned model-specific dual tailpipes of the AMG sport exhaust system. Additional stand-out features are the many high-gloss chrome design elements at the front, side and rear, which develop their radiant effect especially in combination with dark paint finishes.
Interior :
The stylish character of the new S-Class models from Mercedes-AMG is also evident in the interior: Both models welcome their passengers with an exclusive ambience. The AMG power sports seats with memory function and seat heating offer the driver and front passenger more lateral support. Nappa leather in AMG V-8 design with AMG badges in the front and rear backrests creates a luxurious atmosphere on board.
The Performance steering wheel, in an all-new design with flattened lower edge and sides, features two broad horizontal spokes between which the control elements for cruise control, DISTRONIC, telephony, volume and the on-board computer are positioned, and two vertical struts, one on either side of the AMG logo on the steering wheel rim. There are also shift paddles and a more sharply contoured rim in black nappa leather with perforated leather in the grip area. As an option the steering wheel can also be ordered in black nappa leather/DINAMICA microfibre.
Special touches include the embossed emblem on the armrest of the front centre console and the analogue clock in exclusive IWC design, which features three-dimensional, milled metal hands and genuine metal appliqu�s on the face. The S65 is characterised by Exclusive nappa leather in the hallmark AMG diamond design as standard, and the optional designo Exclusive nappa leather interior concept in three attractive colour combinations.
Another hallmark AMG speciality are the displays: The 31.2-centimetre TFT wide-screen colour display reproduces round dials that provide information about engine speed, vehicle speed and lots of additional data. The driver can choose from three display designs, Classic, Sport and Progressive. In addition, the AMG menu has been expanded considerably. Among other things, it can display the engine and transmission oil temperature, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, engine output and torque, boost pressure, tyre temperatures and pressures as well as the current vehicle set-up.
The large high-performance compound braking system decelerates the performance saloon reliably and quickly, and is fade-resistant even under high stress. The S63 4MATIC+ and S65 are fitted with 390 x 36 mm compound brake discs with 6-piston aluminium fixed callipers at the front axle and 360 x 24 mm discs with single-piston floating brake callipers at the rear axle.
The AMG ceramic high-performance compound braking system is optionally available. The weight savings of more than 20 percent reduce unsprung masses and increase driving dynamics, agility and ride quality. Furthermore, the ceramic brakes are distinguished by a longer service life, higher corrosion resistance and higher thermal stability. It features brake discs of size 420 x 40 mm at the front and of size 360 x 32 mm at the rear. It can be identified visually by the "AMG Carbon Ceramic" lettering on the specially painted brake callipers.
Expect pricing for the AMG S63 to increase, but not by much. With the current model priced from $144,700 for the 2017 model year, the facelifted version should retail from around $150,000 before options. It�s definitely not the most affordable sedan out there, but it�s nowhere near as expensive as the AMG S65, which should come in at $230,000.
