German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz has today revealed the new S63 AMG, which is scheduled to make its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The most powerful high-performance saloon in the luxury segment now sets new standards in terms of driving dynamics, lightweight construction and efficiency.
Deriving its power from the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine- the most powerful member of the BlueDIRECT engine family, it returns the maximum power output of 585bhp and 900Nm of peak torque.
"AMG Lightweight Performance" philosophy, on which the S63 AMG has been systematically constructed, the S 63 AMG is now up to 100 kilograms lighter than its predecessor. A combination of an efficient drive system and reduced weight results in an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 11.7kmpl – 11.9kmpl (237 to 242 g/km CO2).
Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: "Following the successful launch of the A 45 AMG and the CLA 45 AMG, the new S 63 AMG highlights our expertise in the automotive high-end segment. Lightweight construction and absolute performance are among the key strengths of the new flagship model from Mercedes-AMG."
Tobias Moers, Head of Overall Vehicle Development and Board Member of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: "We have unquestionably achieved our aim of making the new S 63 AMG more powerful, lightweight and efficient than its predecessor. In terms of driving dynamics as well, the S 63 AMG has made giant leaps forward."
