Nobody gets one of these in order to drive it like a sports car. The fact that it CAN be driven like a sports car is mighty impressive. Another W for the oligarchs.
Very true, I had a few clients I had to pick up the previous generation S63 for service. It’s just fun to see a giant sofa go 120 before you realize it.
Same with my 750i MSport, when I drag people at the stop light, it’s just funny to see such a big car move the ways these do.
I like having the WARP SPEED OPTION if needed. It must be respected.
Well just finish the AMG line.
Anyone who actually believes that a car weighing 5500lbs can be driven like a sports car has Never owned one of these or a Real Sporrs car !!
Its made for it
I'm old school. I think all Mercedes-Benz sedans should have hood ornaments.
It's to comply with pedestrian safety regulations in certain markets.
That makes them Mercedes Benz , imagine Rolls Royce loose spirit of ecstasy.
You are right! If not all MB sedans, the S Class definitely should have the hood ornament. And an analogue clock on the dash, if I may add.
The AMG body styling this generation makes the best looking S class to date 🤯😱
This is probably the most beautiful car I've seen all year.
With you on that . . . One note: The color on this particular one has A LOT to do with it. On this program, they had white, black, gold and grey. This color - with the satin finish wheels and interior color - transforms the car.
I have to say that this is one of the few best automobile reviewers in both the US and Canada. Highly appreciate the quite richly informative content and the dedication you are creating through these episodes. I am afraid to say that quality content creators are barely followed by hundreds of thousands of subs while on the other hand crappy pointless content creators are followed by millions of subs WHAT A PITY.
Absolutely one of the best automotive reviewers❤🎉
I could see this as a new "Transporter" vehicle. And 100% give it the stand up star and lose the frisbee sized one on the grille. AMG or not, it is the S Class...
W222 63 AMG was peak S-class, looked slimmer/better and is the best choice for someone who wants a luxury and sport sedan
As the owner of a 2011 Maybach 57s, I appreciate my hood ornament. For reference, my 57s is a V12 6.0 liter making 620hp with 738 lbs-ft of torque.
You can tell this man prepares his reviews properly. Great information dissemination
This car is so ridiculous but it's good to see they will put that drivetrain in the new AMGs not the 4 banger in the C63 AMG. However, I don't even wanna know the cost if something goes wrong in the future.
Great Review. So complicated, it seems to me it's a 3-yr lease and right back to MB! A rarity in today's world.
My thoughts and prayers to the people who own this in 10 - 15 years 🙏
@motomantv liking a comment about leasing. Have you been hacked?
Looks incredibly classy with that paint, chrome trim, and wheels. And the interior. Holy moly.
The complexity is brain- scrambling and likely a reliability nightmare.
And forever will be.
I think these will be far beyond $200k especially after dealer markups. I wouldn’t be surprised seeing a markup and msrp totaling $300k because of how corrupt some are.
Yes, but only for the people who really want to have the cool new toy first. You'll most likely be able to get this below MSRP later in its lifecycle, just like previous S63s.
Corrupt? Why?
Because they try to maximize profit on a rare and fairly limited car instead of letting the flippers make all the money?
They have bills to pay like every business and besides, letter “S” in MSRP means “Suggested”.
Regardless, high prices and premiums will not last long and discounts will arrive in a not too distant future as history of previous generations has shown so they better take advantage of first adopters willing to pay up to be the first on the block.
Better the dealer then some flipper……
Are you speaking in USD or CAD
@@HarleyKnoxxx USD
Fair warning: Base price here in Germany is € 208.392,80. Getting the "1st Edition package" (which you'd probably want if you buy one of these) will add over 30k to that. According to the configurator I'm looking at € 240.338,35 (and that doesn't include the MBUX-HUD, the 4D-Burmester and other goodies.).
Now I realize that VAT in the US is generally lower than over here, however your predictions on US pricing might still be a little bit too optimistic...
Appreciate the local market feedback . . .
You can really drive because I would be terrified to be driving that big strong powerful vehicle around those twisty roads that fast
Just passed by Mercedes in Stuttgart - but I didn't know that this car exist. Looks really really good. I think this is peak weight for this kind of Sedans - if we go EV only next gen - they will only use the finest battery and motors, which will be much lighter (I hope) I love the combo with blue outside and interior cognac, works so well!
It indeed does. . .
One of the best to ever do it reviewing one of my all-time favorite cars! It doesn't get any better. Cheers!
The Coupe version in this would be outrageous 🔥
Amen.
Will there be one? I don't have time to read forums with spy shots so I'll trust your answer.
Cool video love the specs and the technical info is always topnotch!
Thank you for the feedback . . . means a lot!
Awesome work mercedes and great presentation
A beautiful car. 👌 Better-looking than all of its competitors. 👍
Absolutely gorgeous merc !!
New chase shots, nice
Keep up the good work, You are the Smart Tech guy
Thank you, sir!
Great presentation. You rolled your "R" perfectly. 👍🏾🤣
Best one of the AMG e performance 👏
Lovin' the wheels on this beauty.
Oh wow ima get this car as soon as i get the money
I’m impressed
This is why you are at the TOP of reviewers. All the facts, lot of figures but emotion and the joy of driving, but at 200,000 plus I agree you will not see them on the street!!!
The star on the bonnet and the erase of the big star in the grill... absolutly on board with you there.
Thanx for a most enjoyable review. What a fantastic and beautiful car, perfect color combo as well. This is surely better than a Flying Spur! I ll take 2 plz, one in this blue and the other in emerald green.
In 5 years with all the usual electrical problems from German cars, depreciation on these will be crazy.
She's puuurrrteeee! Love the interior. I'm in. 👍🏾
The dash vents reflecting in the windshield is distracting.
This my favorite car at the moment. I can’t wait to buy one I’m gonna get all white with black wheels and black interior
I'm guessing this thing starts closer to $200K base
Awesome car!
Nice tank
The long wheelbase S63E, FULLY configured is around 310k euros in Europe
I agree, there needs to be an option for the star.
Beautiful machine
When you see it in person - in that color combo with the details like the wheels and the slight red trip, achingly beautiful.
Great review even though they're is no way I could dream of owning this car
Absolutely no way that this thing is a penny less than $240,000 in the US. Just no way.
That powertrain in a c63 will
Be a nuke
the hood was deforming when you were slightly pressing the hood badge...
Nice car, out of my league 🤷♂️
Mama mia, that's a well spec'd Benz!
It's a shame about the Mercedes star, never liked the Panamericana.
Excellent work like always, M.
Thank you, Amro!
@@MotoManTV my pleasure, M.
Just went through the configurator (Germany) and this thing is expensive. My admittedly loaded spec is at 285k €... Base is 208k
they put the electric motor in the back it's for weight distribution. the V8 is heavy enough without electric motor in the front - it would plow in corners like an Audi. the new BMW phev system uses a reduction gear to match RPM of electric motor and ICE before sending combined output to the ZF 8 speed but while that solves the RPM issue it doesn't solve weight balance issue, which however can be handled by pushing the battery to the back. that said M760i is only an i6 not a V8 because the battery is under floor not in the back like XM which is V8. this AMG does it right but it's obviously not a simple or cheap setup.
Will there be a coupe???? An actual competitor for the M8 comp..
Will you get a chance to review the S580e anytime soon? Thank you.
Been working on it for a while . . . they have promised one in the LA Fleet so keep your fingers crossed.
Thank you for all the great reviews since I found your channel. I think the 580e might be the sweet spot of the w223 lineup, but curious to hear your opinions of it. I have a deposit for one in Canada but still a few months from placing actual order.
Put this drivetrain in a GLS and I’m sold!
So a CL63 from 2010 adjusted for price used to cost around 210k.
A current SL63 goes for about the same.
Tell me this technological TDF that’s pushing 800hp with a DCT in an S Class for gods sake is not going to be in the mid 200s
My guess is 230k+
Im glad, they still have a v8 under the hood
excellent luxury limousine.
i want the coupe version of this.
@14:12 doesnt the red signify the electric component??
How does it compare to Lucid in terms of handling?
The two are different cars because this one is MUCH longer than the Lucid. Think 5 Series in terms of size when thinking Lucid. That said, this is surprisingly sharper than the Lucid.
I would take this over any variation of the EQS, even they make an EQS 1000hp.. S class should have been designed as EV or PHEH like the 7 series.
Me too.
Bring this vehicle to Culvers on university St, Illinois State! Immediately!!!
Price over 200K first edition is 240+K
Ah...no more Torque Converter. I am struggling with that single clutch transmission on my 2019 AMG S63. Porpoisy starts, gear jams, abrupt shifts and jumpy starts...my wife's 580 is vastly superior. MB USA says the transmission is fine...any advice on how to get that transmission remedied or is it doomed. I have to feather the throttle for gentle acceleration from stops to get it to behave. And a s result my S63 drives like a VW Golf...with excellent exhaust sounds. UGH!
The price would be $220-$250,I would rather buy a Bentley Flying Speed at that range.
9:50 *Fined $500 crossing Double Lines !*
found you guys yesterday on an old video for a CTSV third generation I’m a fan just watch this video but your torque numbers don’t add up from your own stats. Did you guys miss some thing or leave something out?like the vids and opinions . your output for the gasoline engine in the electric motor doesn’t equal 1055.
This is before I get to your question, but please superimpose the torque and power numbers in kilowatts and newton meters when you mention them for us in other parts of the world. Please please please
The S class is finally getting back to what to should be.
What's the color of this model?
E class highbred yes please
I think it is amazing how heavy passenger vehicles are becoming. Will they ever go on a diet?
Let me get this straight. The entire car uses a 400v electrical architecture? Not just the traction battery? Am I right in assuming this car only has the traction battery, and no stupid accessory battery?
Hey Now!
£186,000 in the UK.
Can it be ordered with the classic grill too?
As of now, sadly, no.
@@MotoManTV a shame, a 4 door saloon Mercedes should have the traditional grill with the star on the Bonet. I do like the styling In general but the trend with the large star in the grill on their saloon cars is for me personally out of place and a break from tradition
S class = Hood Ornament~!!! You are right! Take that Diesel truck signdown from the front ! LOL...and just leave the Americana Grill just like their Maybach has it!!
The front of the S looks like a BMW F10 5 series that was launched in 2011 , once you see it you cant unsee it , BMW is killing it
This is impressive until you realize one day it’s gonna break. And it’s gonna be RIDICULOUSLY expensive to repair/replace.
Looks like the e-class
@@ifeanyiikemefuna3706 sad
Different car but same pants
I love the car! They dropped the ball with the C63S. This is what should have been in the C class! Not that 4 cylinder engine with that awful hybrid system. Their engineers actually spent significant time developing the drivetrain in the S class and it totally shows it when comparing the 2024 C63S.
When giving performance figures, please quote 1/4 mile times and not 0-60
I bet it’s closer to $175k starting.
Wait…
Carbon ceramics OPTIONAL in America?!?! Nah, son.
2.5 TONNES, I get it’s an S class, the weight doesn’t matter, but Mercedes who concept of cars at the min is wrong, adding electric just o add 500kg of weight, only to ruin handling and braking more. Could probably get the same performance with a slight tune and that 500kg weight reduction.
Can 800 HP melt away 6,000 pounds? Don't know about that but I bet it can melt away gas really fast.
It’s a buy.
You want to know what 800 HP and 6000 pounds really melts? It melts tyres.
The best or nothing
Handsome daddy
Tut mir leid, Hood.
791 hp handbag from Germany. oh wait, a handbag will last longer.
🎉Honey👩🏻💼I think we should buy a plug in hybrid to see how well this stuff works. Dear👨🏻🔧after all these years your are sounding very reasoned. Why thank you love👩🏻💼, I’ll call the dealership in the morning. 😉 What does AMG stand for honey👨🏻🔧. I’m guessing it’s what the reviewer kept saying while test driving it. “Ah, My Gosh”🤭
Big, bad and beautiful, but in five years it will be worth $45K as all that German complexity needs replacement at $8K per visit to the mechanic. 2023 IS 500, simple glorious NA V8 power in a beautiful bulletproof sedan that will last longer than your remaining lifetime.
I think the world's automakers are putting out silly garbage like this on purpose to make everyone throw up their hands and say "ok ok just bring out the EVs. It can't be worse than this."
Was für ein wunderschönes Auto. Ich bin froh, dass ich mich für den S63 statt für den 580 entschieden habe. Der Mangel an guter Verzierung macht mir nichts aus. Ich würde die Zierleiste für mein Auto im Nachtpaket bekommen.
$225,000?
This Doesn't look all that special....why? Gimme my old 220 Kompressor. Timeless.
People who have the money to buy these cars don't even punch it anyway lol bunch of old rich people driving like grandmas.
