AMG sport exhaust system with automatic exhaust flaps.

Emotional and sporty efficiency or limited and unwinding cruising: the S63 AMG Coupe even has a selection of custom sounds. The AMG sport exhaust system fulfills specific driver requirements as it has automatic logic-controlled exhaust flaps in both rear silencers. When the transmission is in “C” (Controlled Efficiency) mode, the flaps remain enclosed under most circumstances, where the eight-cylinder biturbo engine’s noise is more understated. In “S” (Sport) and “M” (Manual) modes, the exhaust flaps open earlier and more spontaneously, specifically if the motorist prefers a vibrant driving style. The result is an even fuller, hallmark AMG emotive engine noise.

“One guy, one engine”: a custom blend of hand-built excellence.

Like all AMG V8 and V12 engines, the eight-cylinder biturbo engine for the S63 AMG Coupe is assembled by hand at the AMG engine shop in Affalterbach.

The rear-biased power distribution provides the trademark AMG high driving characteristics and superlative driving satisfaction along with boosting acceleration from a standing start. The all-wheel drive likewise enhances driving safety on damp or wintry road surfaces when geared up with winter tires \*\*. Optimum traction is ensured by a multi-disc clutch with a locking result of 37 lb-ft, which takes full advantage of the frictional connection potential of all four wheels.

\*\* all S63 AMG Coupe and Sedan designs come geared up with conventional summertime efficiency tires.

AIRMATIC air suspension.

The S63 AMG Coupe 4MATIC includes the complete air-suspension system AIRMATIC with the adaptive damping system ADS PLUS. Certain front axle kinematics– consisting of higher camber, a larger anti-roll bar and a stiffer subframe carrier on the rear axle– have actually been established exclusively for the S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe. These measures improve the vehicle’s dexterity for high performance driving.

Methodical lightweight building: Available AMG created wheels.

Optional wheels consist of 10-spoke forged wheels painted in titanium gray with a polished surface– 8.5 x 20 at the front and 9.5 x 20 at the rear, with 255/40 R 20 and 285/35 R 20 tires respectively. The forged wheels feature a top quality, screwable and completely integrated wheel bolt cover made of created aluminum. Its shape is similar to a center lock as seen in motorsport. The AMG logo is incorporated into one of the 10 spokes. These created wheels are also offered painted in matte black with a high-sheen rim flange.

AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system as an option for the first time.

Short stopping ranges and fast deceleration are offered for the S63 AMG Coupe, which is equipped with a weight-optimized, fade-resistant AMG high-performance composite brake system. An AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system is readily available as an option. This design, which is more than 20 percent lighter, guarantees lower unsprung weight and improved braking performance.

Design: AMG combines sensuous purity with breaktaking efficiency.

The S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe likewise boasts exciting looks to highlight its sporty efficiency: it exhibits power and hallmark Mercedes-Benz sensual purity. Many aerodynamic elements underscore the impressive driving characteristics: the front end is controlled by the three-dimensional AMG “twin-blade” radiator grille in silver shadow (a matte silver surface). Whether in movement or fixed, unique AMG lettering in between the twin-blade lamellas leaves no doubt: this is a high-performance version from Affalterbach.

Together with the lower beltline, these inserts make the S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe exude energy even when it is at a dead stop. Further attractive functions of the side design consist of the large AMG created wheels. “V8 BITURBO” lettering in a new, contemporary typography on the front wings is another trademark AMG design touch.
