Product Information: Mercedes-AMG S 63
Exterior design elements: A combination of performance and luxury
Status and dynamism, performance and elegance, exclusivity and superiority – the Mercedes-AMG S 63 visually reaffirms the car’s special status in Mercedes-Benz’s model portfolio. This stunningly beautiful sedan embodies AMG’s “Driving Performance” with its exterior design. The overall impression is created by a combination of the sensuous lines that are a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz classic architecture and a flowing silhouette with typical AMG design features.
Interiors: A combination of luxurious ambience and sporty functionality
A feel-good atmosphere combined with a luxurious ambience and the sporty functionality of a genuine AMG high-performance model – describes the interiors of the Mercedes-AMG S 63. A true pleasure for the senses; the lovingly designed interior fascinates with its very high-grade materials, first-class quality and carefully chosen colour schemes. The occupants benefit from the improved interior dimensions, anew control logic and new highlights in terms of ergonomics, operating convenience and safety.
AMG seats developed exclusively for the Mercedes-AMG S 63 ensure an outstanding long-distance comfort. Electric adjustment, driver and co-driver memory function, panoramic sunroof and 7 colours ambient lights are standard features. Another feature reserved for AMG is the high-quality analogue clock in an exclusive design between the air vents: this for the first time features three-dimensional, milled metal hands and metal appliqués on the dial. The AMG sports steering wheel in nappa leather with a heavily contoured rim, an insert with AMG lettering, perforated leather in the grip area and aluminium shift paddles allows perfect vehicle control.
Suspension: MAGIC BODY CONTROL
The Mercedes-AMG S 63 with rear-wheel drive features the AMG sports suspension based on MAGIC BODY CONTROL. The new S-Class is the first car in the world able to recognise road surface undulations in advance. If ROAD SURFACE SCAN detects such undulations with the help of the stereo camera, MAGIC BODY CONTROL adjusts the suspension in advance to suit the situation. Both suspension modes – “Comfort” and “Sport” – are also available here. The AMG-specific elastokinematics ensure more directness when driving dynamically.
The electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering with variable steering ratio is the perfect complement: this greatly enhances vehicle handling and agility while maintaining driving safety at high speeds. In “Comfort” suspension mode, the AMG speed-sensitive sports steering enhances comfort by providing more steering assistance. If the “Sport” suspension setting is selected, on the other hand, the driver feels a more sportily stiff level of steering assistance – which tends to result in better road feel. The pre-programmed curves for power assistance enhance feedback and steering precision.
AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission combines huge emotional appeal and maximum driving pleasure with outstanding economy. The sports transmission is exclusive to Mercedes-AMG and combines the sporty, direct and agile responsiveness of a manual transmission with the maximum comfort of an automatic transmission. The AMG sports transmission also impresses with its low weight of just 80 kilograms. This is made possible by the use of lightweight magnesium for the transmission housing. Vibrations are effectively eliminated by a new, two-stage torsional damper, with ensuing benefits in perceived passenger comfort.
Power and Output:
In terms of maximum output and fuel consumption, the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine remains the most efficient series-produced V8 engine of all. With an output of 430 kW [585 hp] and a torque of 900 Nm, the AMG eight-cylinder unit outperforms all comparable engines.
Customisation using ‘designo’
Mercedes-AMG S 63 can be customised using the newly launched ‘designo’ platform. Customers have the choice of selecting from hundreds of combinations of exterior colours, interior upholstery and design trim elements. Exciting performance and comfort features can also be added in the Mercedes-AMG S 63 as per the customer choice and wish.
