AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE Sedan
The thoroughbred bloodline of AMG began with a 1971 S-Class crafted into a champion racecar. The luxury legacy of the S-Class knows no peer. Together, they once again set a new benchmark of staggering performance, sumptuous comfort, and stunning presence.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test limits, and for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to advanced electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
Iconic craftsmanship, bionic heart
The AMG P3 Performance Plug-in Hybrid powertrain pairs a handcrafted 4.0L biturbo V8 with a rear-mounted Electric Drive Unit. The EDU's electric motor, two-speed transmission and 13.1-kWh battery are directly inspired by Formula 1® racing. With 791 total hp and 1,055 lb-ft of torque, the large sedan can whisk to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. Disclaimer[1]
Multiclutch speed, multiple talents
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9-speed transmission's multiple modes can quicken shift times and offer direct multi-gear downshifts. The electric rear motor's two-speed transmission allows its full torque to be on tap at all times, while integrating the benefits of a fast-acting limited-slip differential.
Seven drive modes, from serene to sonorous
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune the car's driving character via a console control or the AMG DRIVE UNIT on the steering wheel. Seven modes, one customizable, vary the gas-electric hybrid powertrain parameters, as well as throttle feedback, shifting, handling, exhaust note and more.
Extreme in every measure, elegance in every motion
By decree, an AMG S-Class must deliver superlatives in virtually every dimension of driving enjoyment. From crisp cornering, to composed comfort, to confidence in every season and situation, it must feel both exuberant and effortless, the very definition of elegance.
Smooth moves, even sharper reflexes
AMG RIDE CONTROL+ is a multimode, adaptive air suspension that can precisely adjust numerous parameters within milliseconds. Compression and rebound damping, ride height with auto-lowering at speed, and innovative Active Roll Stabilization all enhance tire contact, driver feedback and passenger comfort on surfaces from rough roads to sharp corners.
Impressive at a stop, even more so getting there
AMG high-performance brakes feature sizable perforated and ventilated compound discs. Calipers, 6-piston for the front brakes, are painted silver or optionally in red. Carbon Ceramic brakes are also available. Regenerative braking can help charge the hybrid battery, adjustable in four stages via the AMG DRIVE UNIT. Disclaimer[2] Disclaimer[3]
Taut handling at speed, even tighter around town
All four wheels can contribute to steering to benefit agility and stability, based on driving speed and the modes of AMG DYNAMIC SELECT. The 3-stage AMG parameter steering can adapt its ratio and power assist. Active rear-axle steering can precisely toe up to 2.5° in phase with the front wheels to enhance high-speed handling, or opposite them for added low-speed manoeuvrability. Disclaimer[4]
Performance all-wheel drive, made even more precise
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ can quickly and continuously vary the torque from both the gas and electric powerplants to all four wheels, factoring drive mode, g-forces and tire grip. It can vary from 50/50 to 100% rear-drive to quicken launches, sharpen handling, and assert power out of corners. Disclaimer[4]
The victory lap of luxury
Resplendent luxury is delivered with responsive technology that listens to your voice and cares for your comfort. And while the indulgence is abundant, it's also a highly involving experience for all aboard, with features that engage the senses and earn the S-Class name.
A more personal bond between car and driver
The digital cockpit offers a high degree of personal choice, including reconfigurable AMG instrumentation and 64-colour active ambient lighting. You can save up to 800 parameters in a profile you call up by fingerprint, and can even use in other Mercedes-Benz models. Disclaimer[5]
A new twist on tradition
For the first time on an AMG S-Class, the iconic Star moves to the centre of the AMG vertical-bar grille. On the hood is the AMG "Affalterbach" crest. The deep front apron, sculpted side sills and rear bumper all add an aggressively aerodynamic edge to the flowing, muscle-toned S-Class body.
Sensational from every seat
In S-Class fashion, the rear cabin offers unrivaled comfort. Spacious yet highly detailed, three rear seating packages increasingly elevate comfort, up to a twin-seat configuration whose console is equipped with folding tables and a full-function docking tablet.
Finesse at your fingertips
The AMG Performance steering wheel keeps control of countless settings close at hand: Capacitive switches on the twin spokes. Electronic gear selection, plus shift paddles. And buttons for key performance settings that integrate colour function displays.
Spokes to speak your style
A range of AMG wheel options sized 20 or 21 inches includes a variety of designs in silver, black and polished finishes, and cast or forged-alloy construction. All the wheels are staggered, with wider rear tires to enhance launch grip while the front tires are optimized for crisp steering feedback. Disclaimer[6] Disclaimer[7]
