Thanks: 3D Rental Car 2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 Starting at $ est Highs: Lightning-quick acceleration, opulent interior finishings, handles like a much smaller sedan. Lows: Short electric-only range, regenerative braking system lacks true one-pedal drive mode, eye-popping price tag. Verdict: With sports car performance and luxury car comfort, the S63 represents the peak of AMG engineering. What's New for 2024? After a short hiatus, the AMG-badged S-class makes its grand re-entry to the prestige-on-wheels class using the bones from the current production Benz S-class mated with a promising high-power hybrid powertrain. Pricing and Which One to Buy AMG S63 E Performance: $190,000 (est) Engine, Transmission, and Performance For a long time, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has worked to develop a high-performance battery that could deliver consistent performance at the highest level of motorsports. Now folks who drive on the road bear the fruit of these efforts with the new hybridized powertrain found in the AMG S63 E Performance. The most powerful S-class ever offered is propelled by a 603-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine up front, with help from a 188-hp motor for the rear axle. Their combined efforts produce 791 horsepower and 1055 pound-feet of torque for the sedan’s all-wheel-drive system to process. A nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (while a two-speed transmission is integrated at the rear axle for the electric motor) handles shifting and, to help this barge of power navigate traffic and parking spots, AMG includes rear-axle steering as standard equipment. We estimate that the S63 can make it to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. That’s quicker than the feistiest version of the standard Benz S-class, which took 3.9 seconds to reach 60 mph in our testing. Given the massive power available to hurl it down the road, we suspect the that S63 E Performance will be even quicker than its maker claims. The S63 uses an AMG Ride Control air suspension, AMG Active Ride Control stabilization, and rear-axle steering as standard equipment which makes the S63 feel easy to maneuver. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo While the massive horsepower will warm the hearts of enthusiasts, the AMG S63’s priorities include comfort. It sports an opulent cabin with distinctive AMG upholstery and stitching. A Dolby Atmos audio system comes standard and offers a 360-degree audio experience. The car’s digital gauge cluster provides a bright and clear roster of driving info, but the real magic happens on the standard OLED touchscreen that’s vertically mounted on the dashboard. Road noise cancelation and rich interior materials make the S63 an experience most only taste from limos. Headrest pillows for rear passengers and an abundance of legroom make a strong argument for the S63 as a fantastic car to be chauffeured in as well as a great one to experience from the driver’s seat.
