The all new Mercedes S 63 AMG Coupe. A car like poem.
The flagship Mercedes S-Class gets its tracksuit on in 576bhp S63 AMG Coupe guise and what a tracksuit it is.
It's the 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8 producing 577bhp and 664lb ft. And because we're in a 4MATIC four-wheel drive version (sadly only available in left-hand drive), traction isn't an issue. 0-62mph takes just 3.9 seconds. In something weighing over two tonnes, that is one hell of a figure. And like all AMGs, the acceleration never really tails off. Or certainly not at legal speeds.
- Price: £125,595
- Engine: 5.5-litre V8 twin-turbo
- Power: 576bhp
- Transmission: Seven-speed dual-clutch, rear-wheel drive
- 0-62mph: 4.3 seconds
- Top speed: 186mph
- Economy/CO2: 28mpg/237g/km
Blending the comfort of a Mercedes S-Class with the style of a coupé and the performance pedigree of Mercedes’ tuning arm, the all-new S 63 AMG Coupe is a tantalising proposition. It’s designed to offer exclusivity and luxury to match a Bentley Continental GT with the promise of handling and performance to rival the flagship Porsche Panamera, and aims to be the ultimate luxury all-rounder.
Despite getting the S-Class name, the new Coupe stands out enough from the limousine on which it’s based. Sharp creases down the sides, a long bonnet, sloping roof and a neat spoiler integrated into the bootlid do a great job of shrinking the S-Class Coupe’s large dimensions.
The Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe is a seriously impressive piece of engineering. It’s blisteringly fast and handles better than it has any right to, but it’s also a near-perfect companion for a 200-mile motorway journey. In fact, thanks to the semi-autonomous mode, it’ll take most of the strain for you. The sensible option is to go for the lesser S500, kicking off from £96,565, but there’s a definite appeal to this super-coupe.
