2018 Mercedes-AMG S63 First Test: Burning Rubber in Style – MotorTrend
by Collin Woodard
It’s hard to overstate how incredible the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class is. The interior’s opulence is more in line with a Bentley or Rolls-Royce than a BMW 7 Series, yet we tested a 2014 S63 hitting 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Toss the car into a corner, and it’ll handle far better than a nearly 5,000-pound luxury sedan has any right to. In the more than four years since the S-Class made its debut, however, Mercedes’ competitors have been working hard to catch up. In an attempt to stay at the head of the pack, the 2018 S-Class receives a major refresh, and the S63 gets a new engine.
Under the hood, the S63 drops its 577-hp 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 in favor of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo unit that makes 603 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Power is still sent to all four wheels, but the updated all-wheel-drive system can now vary its torque distribution instead of sticking to a 33/67 front/rear split. The aging seven-speed automatic has also been replaced by a newer nine-speed unit.

UK: Auto-Top is an honest and pure car filming and testing company. We’re not interested in eco & green (unless it’s like, really superfast). Screaming exhausts, whining superchargers and blowing turbo’s is what we want to hear! We review all sorts of performance cars. In the different playlists you can enjoy exhaust sounds, acceleration tests (0-100, 0-200) with launch control, onboard cams and the revving sound of each car. Exotic cars, hothatches, power sedans. We have it all!
2018 Mercedes-AMG S63: Five Things You Need to Know – Motortrend
by Collin Woodard
When Mercedes redesigned the S-Class for 2014, it smoothed out the exterior design and then added a completely new interior that completely outclassed the BMW 7 Series. But while the S550 was pretty quick, the S63 AMG got a 577-hp V-8 that turned it into an absolute rocket. For 2018, Mercedes gave the S-Class a midcycle refresh that, at least at first glance, looks relatively minor. After testing the 2018 Mercedes-AMG S63, however, it’s clear that Mercedes did a lot more than tweak the options list. If the concept of an AMG-tuned full-size luxury sedan has your attention, then here are five things you need to know.
There is a replacement for displacement
The 2014 S63 used a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, but for 2018, AMG dropped that engine in favor of its ubiquitous 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. On paper, that might look like a step backward, but you can’t argue with the power gains. The S63 now makes 603 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, trumping the old V-8’s 577 hp even though it’s missing 1.5 liters of displacement. Isn’t modern engineering amazing?
