The new Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC+ and S 65: Update for the performance luxury saloon
Affalterbach. New engine, new transmission, new all-wheel drive, new
exterior and interior design: On the S 63 4MATIC+ (fuel consumption
combined: 8.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 203 g/km), Mercedes-AMG
has dramatically honed the driving dynamics and looks further. For
improved performance with significantly reduced fuel consumption, the
AMG 4.0-litre V-8 Biturbo engine with cylinder deactivation replaces the
previous 5.5-litre V-8 Biturbo. Despite the smaller displacement, the
new engine puts out 450 kW (612 hp) and thus exactly 20 kW (27 hp) more
than the preceding model. With a sprint time of 3.5 seconds from zero to
100 km/h, the performance luxury saloon is on par with full-blooded
sports cars. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9‑speed sports transmission replaces
the previous 7-speed gearbox. This has enabled more agile response
times to be achieved. The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+
all-wheel-drive system provides optimal traction.
At the same
time as the S 63 4MATIC+, the top-of-the-range model S 65 (fuel
consumption combined: 11.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 279 g/km)
receives a visual update that underscores the superiority of the
high-end
12-cylinder model. Its 6.0-litre V-12 Biturbo engine retains its output of
463
kW (630 hp) and peak torque of 1000 Newton metres. Thanks to the
highest stage of development of the V-8 and V-12 biturbo engine, both
new models deliver more output and torque than the competitors.
New
MULTIBEAM LED headlamps and the updated front apron with jet wing
underscore the more expressive appearance of both S-Class models. At the
rear, the new apron and modified tailpipe trim add distinctive design
focuses.
"Impressive power, torque and performance on the road,
as well as the expressive design distinguish the new Mercedes-AMG S 63
4MATIC+ and the new S 65. With the S 63, we additionally took a major
development step that supports our leadership claim in the areas of
driving dynamics, performance, traction, equipment and demonstrative
comfort. The S 65 with its high-torque 6.0-litre V-12 Biturbo engine
remains the spearhead of the S-Class models“, says Tobias Moers,
Chairman of the Managing Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

4.0-litre V-8 biturbo engine with twin-scroll turbochargers
The
AMG 4.0-litre V-8 Biturbo engine in the S 63 4MATIC+ comes exclusively
in the highest performance stage to date rated at 450 kW (612 hp). The
peak torque of 900 Nm also represents a new maximum. It is available
across a wide rev range between 2750 and 4500 rpm, and thereby provides a
sense of superior poise. The sprint from standstill to 100 km/h takes
just 3.5 seconds, faster than in any other performance luxury saloon,
and the dynamic push in the back does not end before reaching the
electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (with AMG Driver's Package:
300 km/h).
The further advanced AMG 4.0-litre V-8 Biturbo engine
utilises well-proven twin-turbo forced induction, with the two chargers
not located outside on the cylinder banks, but rather between them in
the V of the cylinders. The advantages of the "hot inner V" are a
compact engine design, an immediate response from the turbochargers and
low exhaust emissions thanks to optimum airflow to the close-coupled
catalytic converters.
Two twin-scroll turbochargers provide even
better fresh-mixture cylinder charge. The results are a higher output,
more torque already at low engine speeds, and a very spontaneous
throttle response.
'AMG Cylinder Management' cylinder deactivation system
For maximum efficiency, Mercedes-AMG equipped the V-8 engine in the
S
63 4MATIC+ with the AMG Cylinder Management cylinder deactivation
system. In the partial-load range, cylinders two, three, five and eight
are deactivated, which significantly lowers the fuel consumption. With a
combined fuel consumption of 8.9 litres and combined CO2 emissions of
203 grams per kilometre, the new S 63 4MATIC+ is among the leaders in
its competitive segment.
