Rent Mercedes S63 AMG in Europe

Based on a full-sized luxury sedan, the AMG S63 Coupe is more personalized than its S Class sedan sibling. With such, there seems to be more liveliness in its ability to cover ground and wrap around its driver providing 603 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque at bay. Those surprising power figures are made possible by Mercedes-AMG’s 4.0-liter BiTurbo V8 engine, basically a more powerful version of the handcrafted work of excellence that you find in the hot-rodded AMG GTR. To be exact, the AMG S63 has 26 more ponies which helps propel the extra heft carried around by the stately S63 Coupe. Sending power to all four wheels by AMG’s latest 4Matic all-wheel-drive system and managed by a 9-speed automatic transmission, the S63 Coupe will launch to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds or less. Astonishingly, I timed the S63 coupe making a dash to 60 mph using its Race drive mode’s launch control in just under 3.3 seconds. That’s amazing engineering for ya, getting a 4,700-pound vehicle up to speed so fast!

The new AMG S63 Coupe has all of the comforts and luxury features that you find in the S Class Sedan, only the Coupe has a unique styling that makes away without a B-pillar for a seamless opening when you roll the front and rear seat windows down. The long heavy doors, despite their aluminum skin and structure, are on a fine line of being too much to handle but Benz does good to dampen their swings just the right amount. The use of the latest dual 12.3-inch high-resolution screens, one for a configurable gauge cluster and the other for the last generation of Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, serve up the expected connectivity and interaction features.

Using the latest and greatest driving autonomy is always a treat and a spectacle to try out, which the S63 Coupe does masterfully using the adaptive cruise control and lane keep features together to fundamentally drive on its own provided the road lines are clear. The system will even utilize a GPS-mapped prediction to slow the vehicle on sharp turns and make automatic adjustments to the speed limit by reading speed limit signs.

The interior of the S63 Coupe, up front at least, is nearly replicated from its sedan counterpart. Though, where things change, for obvious reasons, is the two back seats, which surprisingly have enough room for medium to small sized adults – provided that the front occupants don’t adjust the rather large and beefy front seats too far back. Speaking of beefy front seats, the S63 Coupe’s seats are massive in size, which somewhat makes sense considering they have a full array of message features, heating, cooling, and active multi-contour seat adjustments that react to lateral vehicle movements by moving the side bolsters in, to essentially push-back to keep your body firmly planted when you’re canyon carving.
