Systematic use of lightweight materials and intelligent detailed solutions have made the new S 63 AMG even sportier yet more economical than its predecessor.
AMG means having a drive system that will surpass itself time and again. Take the new S 63 AMG, for instance: lower emissions, lower fuel consumption, increased performance
with 430 kW (585 hp) and 900 Nm torque. And on top of all this: the AMG drive system is available for the first time in conjunction with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
S 63 AMG technology.
The systematic use of lightweight materials has resulted in
the S 63 AMG being 100 kilograms lighter than its prede-
cessor. This was achieved through using carbon-fibre and
innovative materials, a lithium ion battery and weight-opti-
mised wheels and tyres. This has resulted in lowered con-
sumption, lower emissions and even more dynamic driving
characteristics. As a technical highlight, the performance-
oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is available
exclusively for the S-Class long-wheelbase version for the
first time. Front to rear axle power distribution of 1/3 to
2/3 provides the high level of driving dynamics and the huge
amount of driving pleasure so typical of an AMG model.
It also improves handling on wet road surfaces, and effort-
lessly transfers the enormous AMG power to the road in
dry conditions. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports
transmission with a wet clutch helps to boost performance
and is designed to be driven sportily – without any com-
promises on comfort.
