Usted no puede resistir sentirse consentida/o en un modelo de la marca alemana que reza en su propaganda “The Best Or Nothing”. A decir verdad, con el convertible Mercedes Benz S63 AMG del 2019 no puede equivocarse.
La imaginación no tuvo límite para los diseñadores que desplegaron todo lo que un cliente exigente puede querer, si paga los $180.000 y más que cuesta este modelo.
Desde sus medidas de ancho, un frente que mide 83,0”, y 74,8” atrás, para un largo total de 198,9”, encuentra toda una armonía; en el S63 AMG que tiene doble turbo para un motor de 4.0L V8, 9 velocidades, 603 caballos de fuerza que le otorga una aceleración de 3.4 segundos de 0-60 mph, con un estanque con capacidad para 21.1 galones, y si presiona el pedal, la aceleración solo se siente en el tablero, porque la estabilidad del auto, es increíble.
Para mi gusto no se si la primera impresión me la entregó su iluminación, con luces en cristal Swarovski (opción que cuesta $1.750) o el tapiz, que arropa la vista, el tacto y acomoda todo su cuerpo con esa suavidad de cuero.
Y como los hombres pagan los autos, aún cuando las mujeres deciden el color, esta variedad deja contentos a ambos. La gama de colores son: Black, Magnetic black metallic, Obsidian black metallic, Iridium silver metallic, Diamond silver metallic, Selenite grey metallic, Emerald green metallic, Anthracite blue metallic, Lunar blue metallic, Diamond white metallic y Cashemere white magno, una gama que va con el buen gusto de una selección de tapices que puede combinar, para sentirse, que cumplió su sueño.
Mercedes Benz S63 AMG 2019
Mercedes-AMG is updating its S-Class Coupes and Cabriolets with a host of technical and visual highlights. The new-design front end is dominated by the Panamericana radiator grille, which now gives the two- door, luxury-class performance vehicles an even more independent look.
In the AMG S63 Coupe and Cabriolet, the Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 double turbo engine with twin-scroll turbochargers and cylinder deactivation (Coupe) supersedes the previous 5.5L V8 biturbo. Despite the smaller displacement, the new engine puts out 603 hp and thus exactly 26 hp more than the preceding model. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission is also new to the Coupe and Cabriolet, as is the fully variable all-wheel drive system AMG Performance 4MATIC+.
Hallmark features of the AMG S-Class models are the large forged light-alloy wheels, measuring 19 inches as standard on the S63 Coupe and Cabriolet. The exclusive forged wheels on the V12 Coupes and Cabriolets have an unusual and fascinating design: each of the 16 spokes twists in a special way so that the light-catching contours radiate to the center of the wheel hub. The effect: The wheel appears larger than its actual dimensions of 8.5 J x 20 at the front and 9.5 J x 20 at the rear. In addition, the ceramic mirror polishing ensure an exclusive look.
New and exclusive additions to the Coupe and Cabriolet are the OLED (“organic light-emitting diode”) taillamps. OLEDs are characterized by their thin-film design, which allows curved surfaces to be created, resulting in totally new light designs. A total of 66 OLEDs (33 left and 33 right) produce an unmistakable light signature, which is combined with a Coming Home function. Other stand-out features of the AMG S-Class Coupes and Cabriolets include the numerous high-sheen chrome design elements (S65) on the front, sides and rear. These are particularly effective in combination with dark paint colors.
Interior
The stylish character of the new S-Class models from Mercedes-AMG is also evident in the interior: all four models welcome their passengers with a special ambience. The AMG power sports seats with memory function and seat heating offer the driver and front passenger more lateral support. Nappa leather and AMG badges in the front and rear seat backrests create an exclusive atmosphere on board. Special touches include the embossed emblem on the armrest of the front center console and the analogue clock in exclusive IWC design, which features three-dimensional, milled metal hands and genuine metal appliqués on the face.
The three-spoke Performance steering wheel features paddle shifters, a distinctly contoured rim trimmed with perforated leather in the grip area, and a metal insert with AMG logotype. It is optionally available made of Black Nappa Leather/DINAMICA microfiber.
Another hallmark AMG specialty are the displays: the 12.3-inch TFT wide-screen color display reproduces round dials that provide information about engine speed, vehicle speed and additional vehicle data. The driver has a choice of three display designs: Classic, Sport and Progressive. In addition, the AMG menu has been considerably expanded. Among other things, it can display the engine and transmission oil temperature, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, engine output vehicle set-up.
Biturbo engine with twin-scroll turbochargers
The Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine in the S63 Coupe and Cabriolet comes exclusively in the highest performance stage to date rated at 603 hp. The peak torque of 664 lb-ft also represents a new maximum and is available across a wide rev range between 2,750 and 4,500 rpm, and thereby provides a sense of superior poise. The sprint from standstill to 60 mph takes just 3.4 seconds, and the fulminating acceleration continues until the electronically limited top speed of 186 mph is reached (electronically limited).
For the first time the S63 Coupe and Cabriolet have been fitted with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9-speed transmission, which convinces with extremely short shift times, lightning reactions to shift paddle commands, a double-clutching function and fast multiple downshifts. A wet start-off clutch replaces the torque converter of the production model. This saves weight and improves the response to the driver’s accelerator pedal input, particularly during acceleration and load changes. It also allows the “Race Start” function.
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes
The four different AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual give drivers extensive influence over the new models’ characteristics. Each drive program modifies key parameters such as the response of engine, transmission, suspension, steering, ESP and all-wheel drive in the S63 Coupe and Cabriolet.
The S63 Coupe and Cabriolet also feature the “RACE” drive program, while the S65 Coupe features the drive program “Curve”.
Independently of the DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs, the driver has the option of pressing the “M” button to switch directly to manual mode, in which gearshifts are executed exclusively using the shift paddles on the steering wheel. The suspension set-ups can also be selected if desired. The 3-stage ESP and the exhaust gas flap can also be controlled using an AMG-specific button.
RACE START
The Race Start function is now also available in the S63 Coupe and Cabriolet. It features a new, significantly simpler control logic: In the Sport or Sport+ driving modes, the driver only has to press hard on the brake pedal with their left foot while simultaneously mashing the accelerator pedal with their right foot. The on- board electronics will then set the optimum engine speed. Depending on the requirements or the road surface conditions, the engine speed can be increased or lowered in a certain range by operating the paddle shifters. If the driver now releases the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerates with optimal traction. The Coupe and Cabriolet are then able to sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.
