2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG breaks cover
2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG breaks cover-July 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:52

The 2014Mercedes-BenzS63 AMG has been officially revealed following a number of teasers – those cheeky merchants of motoring mayhem.

Set to officially debut at the Frankfort Motor Show this September, the high-performance S63 adopts AMG tweaks such as new side skits, larger front air damps, a lower stance, 19-inch AMG spec wheels and more aggressive bumpers.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG is big on power

Engine Capability

Power comes from the brand’s updated 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine that delivers 436kW of power and 900Nm of torque. The direct-injected petrol engine has Piezo injectors and an all-aluminium crankcase with four valves per cylinder (with camshaft adjustment).

Using a multi-clutch seven speed transmission, the car can sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.4 seconds for both Short Wheelbase and Long Wheelbase versions, while the all-wheel drive 4MATIC long-wheelbase model is faster than the other two, accomplishing the sprint in just 4 seconds. All three versions are electronically-limited to a top speed of 250 km/h.

Exterior Styling Features

A string of dynamic and exclusive changes improve the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMGover its predecessor. These include the saloon’s classic architecture and sleek silhouette design, a large, upright and distinctly three-dimensional radiator grille that underlines the special status of the S-Class – with an exciting contrast provided by the front apron with three large air dams.

The front apron features a grille painted in high-gloss black, the flicks on the side air intakes are also in high gloss black and optimise the flow of air to the cooling modules, while the three-dimensional front splitter in silver chrome reduces lift.

The large AMG light-alloy wheels based on systematic lightweight construction also add to the dynamic and powerful stance of the car. The design is drawn to a powerful conclusion by the black diffuser insert with trim in silver chrome and the two chromed twin tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system with exhaust flaps.

Interior styling features

Like the powerful and exclusive design of the exterior, the interior also comes across with a beguiling combination of the sporty atmosphere of a classic AMG Mercedes Benz car. It is fitted with improved interior dimensions, new control logic, new ergonomic touches, newly developed AMG sports seats with electrical adjustment, memory function and seat heating. Nappa leather in AMG V8 design with lavish perforations and AMG badges in the front and rear seat backrests create an exquisite and luxurious atmosphere on board.

The interior is further clothed with special touches, including the embossed emblem on the armrest of the front centre console and the high-quality analogue clock in IWC design, an AMG leather perforated sports steering wheel, and aluminium shift paddles. There is also a high-resolution TFT colour display, an AMG instrument cluster with two animated round dials, an AMG logo in the speedometer and ‘V8 BITURBO’ lettering in the rev counter.

Standard and optional features

Standard equipment for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMGincludes, AMG door sill panels,AMG floor mats, AMG sports pedals in brushed stainless steel with rubber studs ambient lighting, Attention Assist, Collision Prevention Assist, 10 loudspeakers with Frontbass, Metallic paintwork, tyre pressure loss warning system and LED High Performance headlamps.

Individualisation options will include, AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package, AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system, AMG carbon-fibre engine cover, AMG performance steering wheel in Nappa leather/Dinamica, black

AMG trim in carbon fibre/black piano lacquer and red painted brake callipers.
