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.
