The car most are talking about. Lets just get to performance. It comes with a 5.5 Twin-Turbo V8 with 557hp and 664torques. The transmission is the 7-spd Mercedes Speedshift. They say it goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 186mph.
In Europe you can get one of these with a standard RWD system. But in the states it's mandatory for it to be AWD with Mercedes' 4-matic system.
The turbos aren't normal either. They're part of Mercedes' biturbo division which basically means they go in sequence from low revs and the other one for high revs.
The standard Coupe (not the amg) starts around $119,900 and the AMG starts at $160,900
The Auto Opinion
Off the bat let me just say this car in coupe is just ridiculous. Mercedes has always been making their big sedans into coupes and sometimes it just doesn't work. Like we see here. It looks forced. The front is alright but the back is just horrible and fishy looking. The normal S-class price is alright if they're trying to compete with the BMW 6-series or the Audi A7. The AMG\\\ price is just out of line. I understand it's a well made fast car. But so is a GTR and it's only $110,000. The Audi R8 is around the same price as well. If you're on a track those two would destroy the S63. I do not see the point in buying this car when there are so many better options that will be faster and better looking and that's pretty much what you want when you pay $160,000+ on a car.
