Mercedes is offering the opportunity to watch the new S63 and S65 AMG high performance limousine in action. You might as well get some popcorn because there are 22 minutes of high quality footage, so sit back, relax and enjoy!
Just so that you know, the S 63 AMG is powered by the naturally aspirated 6.3 Liter AMG hand built V8 making 518 HP in the luxurious four door that allows it to hit 60 MPH in only 4.5 seconds. For ultimate baller status the S 65 AMG gets the 6.0 Liter twin turbo V12 boosted to 604 HP and brings the 0-60 time down to 4.3 seconds.
The German Mercedes Benz specialists MEC Design have just released a new wide body kit for the S Class luxury sedan. The kit features a customizable front bumper to suite the owners taste. A mandrel bent Earthquake exhaust, as well a more neighborhood friendly silenced version. The MEC creation rolls around on a set of very blingtastic three piece 20 inch rims.
Now that Mercedes has unveiled the updated 2010 S-Class sedan, it may need a new promotion to close out the 2009 models. So now Mercedes is offering a AMG Sports appearance package for this year’s remaining flagships.
Just like our S550 tester, the package has the 19 inch AMG light-alloy wheels and a little extra flair in the bodywork. The AMG package also includes a new front apron, rear apron, rectangular tailpipe trim in polished stainless steel, , perforated brake discs and silver-painted brake callipers featuring Mercedes-Benz lettering.
Since the pricing has only been given so far in Euros (between €5,831 and €7973 — about $7750 to $10500), there has not been confirmation of the AMG package in the U.S. yet. But interested European customers can start looking like a full-size AMG Mercedes in June.
Mercedes is in full roll-out mode for the refreshed 2010 S-Class. Yesterday we saw details on the AMG versions, and now a detailed video on the whole line has been released.
The engine lineup will carryover the same four models in the current car: 382-hp V8 S550, 518-hp V8 S63 AMG, 510-hp V12 S600 and, 604-hp V12 S65 AMG. There is also a new S400 hybrid model that combines the 275 hp 3.5-liter V6 with a ithium-ion battery pack, which gives up to a 20 hp boost. The S400 should have a combined fuel economy of 29 mpg.
Now that Mercedes has given the standard S-Class a facelift, it’s time for the AMG models to get a touch up. The actual car won’t be revealed until the Shanghai Auto Show later this month, but Car and Driver caught an early leak.
The largest exterior upgrade is the LED lighting package also given across the S-Class line, so there are no surprises here. Other feature such as the wider air intake on the front lip, special wheels, and quad exhaust pipes are AMG mainstays. There also is no change in engine lineup: the S63 AMG has the 518 hp 6.2-liter V-8, and the S65 AMG has the 604 hp 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12.
So if it just a minor change why are we making a post about it? Well even a minor tweak is a good excuse to show a full-size sedan that can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds (S65) and hit a top speed of 186 mph when ungoverned.
The German tuners Relux pride themselves on only refining only the upper class of Daimler cars. That is exactly what they have done with this Mercedes Benz S Class. No feature has been left untouched; from the interior to the engine bay this luxury limousine has been completely modified.
The Swiss tuners FAB Design have upgrade the Mercedes Benz S Class. The redesigned front and rear bumpers have larger openings and more vents than offered from the factory. The tuners also chose to go with a set of their signature 20 inch type 6 Evoline wheels at all four corners. FAB Design also supercharged the S Class, raising output to 540 HP, the S Class now accelerates from 0-60 MPH (0-100 km/h) in just 4.9 seconds and it won’t stop until the speedometer reads 296 km/h (184 MPH).
Last time we saw a spy shot of the new S-Class coupe, it was coming at us. But like many thins in life, we’re not ready to like something until we see the rear end. The S-Class Coupe will feature redesigned bumpers, new grille and LED headlights, and also the taillights will be replaced with LED units
While call this car the new “S-Class coupe” its really an update to the CL-Class. Mercedes is simplifying its naming structure (that’s why the CLK is being replace by the E-Class coupe). So fans of the CL cars won’t miss much in the “new” S-Class coupe.
Because you want to look like a pimp (in the fur coat and “give me my money” way, not the cool high schooler way), but Fab Design’s Maybach 57 is a out of your price range. Carlsson is offering to use everything it has in its arsenal to “upgrade” your Mercedes S-Class.
Mercedes is working on an update to the S-Class, and where the sedan goes, the its CL-Class sibling will follow. Only this time its rumored that Mercedes may drop the CL name its been using for over a decade in favor of calling the cars "S-Class coupes".
The spy shot is of the AMG version, and will likely share many of the upgrades expected on the S-Class sedan. This includes a new front bumper treatment, new side mirrors, LED daylights, quad exhaust pipes and cross-drilled brakes.
