2011 Mercedes S63 AMD

The new Mercedes S63 AMG has released, there are the most important change being the introduction of a 5.5 liter V8 biturbo engine. The S63 AMG only needs 4.5 seconds to reach 62 mph and tops at 155 mph (250 km/h) – electronically limited. The AMG Performance pack cuts 0.1s of the 0 to 62 mph sprint time and brings the top speed to 186 mph (300 km/h).

The new engine uses ultra-modern solutions such as direct petrol injection with spray-guided combustion and twin turbocharging, a full aluminum crankcase, variable valve timing and a start-stop function to offer a high level of efficiency. The engine develops 544 hp an 800 Nm of torque in its standard form, with the ticking of the AMG Performance Package option box bringing the output to 571 hp and 900 Nm (this brings a increase in the maximum charge pressure from 1.0 to 1.3 bar).



The new S63 can be distinguished by a set of subtle changes, like V8 Biturbo badging and new AMG triple-spoke lightweight alloy rims that come in a 19 inch size. The badging is also used for the interior, with a new theme for the instrument cluster. Mercedes has also used a new contrasting color stitching for the standard PASSION leather finish.
