Mercedes has announced high performance versions of this luxury sedan, the
Mercedes AMG S 63 4MATIC+ and S 65. The Mercedes AMG S 63 4MATIC+ and S 65 gets
a number of upgrades over the existing cars and this include more power.
New engine, new transmission, new all-wheel drive,
new exterior and interior design: On the S 63 4MATIC+ (combined fuel
consumption: 8.9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 203 g/km), Mercedes-AMG has
honed the driving dynamics and looks further. For improved performance with
significantly reduced fuel consumption, the AMG 4.0-litre V-8 Biturbo engine
with cylinder deactivation replaces the previous 5.5-litre V-8 Biturbo.
Despite the smaller displacement, the new engine
puts out 612 hp and thus exactly 27 hp more than the preceding
model. With a sprint time of 3.5 seconds from zero to 100 km/h, the performance
luxury saloon is on par with full-blooded sports cars. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9‑speed sports transmission supersedes the previous 7-speed
transmission. This has enabled more agile response times to be achieved. The
fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system provides optimal
traction.
At the same time as the S 63 4MATIC+, the
top-of-the-range model S 65 (combined fuel consumption: 11.9 l/100 km; combined
CO2 emissions: 279 g/km) has been given a visual update that underscores the
flagship position of the 12-cylinder model. Its 6.0-litre V-12 Biturbo engine
retains its output of 630 hp and peak torque of 1000 Newton metres.
Thanks to the advanced stage of development of the V8 and V12 biturbo engine,
both new models are among the leading competitors in terms of output and
torque.
