Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe More Than Skin Deep

The Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe is not just another pretty face. It is so much more than that. It is breathtaking. It is awe-inspiring. But do not let its spine-tingling exterior fool you. The Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe’s beauty is more than skin deep. It has unparalleled performance features, efficiency, safety features, and interior luxury.

There is no detail overlooked when it comes to performance. Beneath its flawless exterior lies the “One man, one engine” hand assembled eight-cylinder, twin turbo, 5.5 liter engine created in Affalterbach that sets the AMG engine apart from all others. With 664 pound-feet torque and 577 horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe goes from zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds. This is not a cookie cutter driving machine. The driver can make customizations to suit his or her mood. The engine is controlled by the AMG Speedshift MCT seven-speed sport transmission which can be configured to Controlled Efficiency Mode, Sport Mode or Manual Mode, according to the driver’s driving style. The AMG sport exhaust system with automatic exhaust flaps can also be adjusted to activate rear silencers or to open earlier and more spontaneously for the hallmark throaty AMG sound. For the first time it will also be available with performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive as well as AIRMATIC air suspension.

Improved efficiency has been achieved through AMG Lightweight Performance strategy. With the combined modifications of a light weight lithium-ion battery, a front end body constructed with an aluminum outer skin, light alloy wheels (optional), and a weight optimized braking system. The weight of this model has been reduced by about 140 pounds. The result is improved driving dynamics, increased fuel efficiency, an acceleration of zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds, and a maximum speed of 186 mph.

The safety features are mind boggling. It has the world’s first active curve tilting function, PRE-SAFE Brake with Pedestrian Recognition, PRE-SAFE PLUS rear end collision protection, DISTRONIC PUS with Steering Assist, BAS PLUS with Cross Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive High Beam Assist, Night View Assist PLUS, and COLLISION PREVENTION PLUS. The Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe is watching out for its driver and passengers.

Luxury is an understatement when describing the interior of this driving machine. It features the Burmester High-End 3D surround system, AMG Sports Seats featuring heating and ventilation crafted from Nappa leather. Enjoy the view with a panorama roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL. Last but not least it now comes standard with an improved touchpad to operate the radio, television and navigation system.

Not to be overlooked is the S63 AMG Coupe “Edition 1” which features Magno Alanite Grey matte finish exterior paint and LED headlamps with Swarovski crystals. The interior Exclusive Nappa leather color scheme is Bengal red and black with contrasting Nappa leather trim and top stitching and finished in DINAMICA. The EDITION 1 comes standard with the AMG Ceramic Braking System.

The Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupe is not just a mode of transportation. It is a lifestyle and a customizable reflection of who you want to be on any given day.
