Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG saloon will conquer Australia
Reports have come out that Mercedes-Benz confirmed the availability of the S 63 AMG saloon in Australian showrooms this September.
Mercedes teams up with AMG to produce the 6.2-liter V8 engine and incorporate it with the award-winning S-Class.
“The S 63 AMG is the perfect offer for customers seeking a dynamic and sporting drive without sacrificing any of the luxury the three-pointed star is famous for,” said Horst von Sanden, managing director for the Mercedes Car Group in Australia. “Adding this new high-performance model to Australian showrooms is the result of high customer demand in Australia for both the award-winning S-Class and the exciting range of Mercedes-AMG vehicles. The success of the range-leading S-Class is well established and I am delighted to be able to offer our customers even greater choice with the new S 63 AMG,” concluded von Sanden.
Australian customer interest’s in the precision engineered high-performance Mercedes-AMG range has surged even further since the release of the new ‘63’ series last year, as reported.
With this latest model, memorable driving is guaranteed by the 100 percent AMG-developed 6.2-liter V8-engine, which produces a peak power output figure of 386 kilowatts at 6,800 rpm and 630 Newton meters of torque at 5200 rpm. This amazing AMG power unit has a higher specific output and specific torque than any other series-produced naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine in the world.
Performance is equally impressive: the S 63 AMG is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, with a maximum speed electronically limited to 250 km/h. This unique engine design combines high engine speed and large displacement to achieve the best of both worlds: exhilarating high-revving flexibility accompanied by high pulling power at low engine speeds.
