2017 Mercedes-Benz C63 S

Few modern performance sedans have earned the reputation of the W205 Mercedes-AMG C63 S.

Combining traditional AMG muscle with contemporary engineering, it delivered one of the most engaging and charismatic driving experiences of its era.

When introduced to the Australian market, the C63 S was universally praised by the local motoring press for its intoxicating blend of brutal V8 performance, everyday usability and exceptional chassis balance, with many regarding it as the benchmark in the high-performance luxury sedan segment. Reviewers consistently applauded its thunderous soundtrack, explosive acceleration, remarkably composed handling and the sense of occasion it delivered every time the start button was pressed.

At its heart lies Mercedes-AMG's hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing an impressive 375kW and 700Nm. Power is delivered exclusively to the rear wheels through AMG's SPEEDSHIFT MCT seven-speed transmission, creating a driving experience that perfectly balances refinement with raw performance. The electronically controlled limited-slip differential, adaptive AMG Ride Control suspension, dynamic engine mounts and variable drive modes allow the C63 S to transition effortlessly from comfortable grand tourer to razor-sharp sports sedan at the touch of a button.

Performance remains deeply impressive nearly a decade after its release. The sprint from 0-100km/h is dispatched in just 4.0 seconds, while immense mid-range torque and relentless acceleration make the C63 S every bit as thrilling on the open road as it is from a standing start. Yet despite its supercar-rivalling pace, it retains the comfort, build quality and practicality expected of a Mercedes-Benz luxury sedan.
