THE MERCEDES-AMG S63 COUPE IS A MASTER OF ITS MANY PERSONALITIES

WHEN YOU think Mercedes, you think premium, pristine, power and posh. But then grunts the 4-litre V8 of the Mercedes- AMG S63 Coupe and you see all your beliefs melt away on the blazing tarmac that it leaves in its wake. Two doors, dominating wings and, wait, crystals in the headlamps? But let all of this not distract you from the fact that the S63 is the embodiment (quite literally) of the perfect lovechild of an S-Class sedan and AMG spawn.

If you caught a glimpse of the car in its rare stationary position and got a chance to look at it up close, you would notice the bling of Swarovski crystals, staring at you from the headlamps. The Panamerica grille quickly pulls your glance away and gives you the confidence that this isn’t Paris Hilton’s toy, as you may have begun to believe. At the rear, it’s a different story altogether. The rear lights are razor-sharp and form a peculiar formation of OLEDs. The hood looms over the horizon, the intakes are bigger, and the rear sports a diffuser and quad exhausts.

If you’ve cruised around in an S-Class before, you’d find the interiors of the S63 not as overwhelming as others would. It greets you with a 4-spoke D-cut steering wheel that intuitively adjusts when you’re dealing with sharp turns. Everything feels premium in here, including the pedals. Behind the steering rests the analog rev counter, whereas the instrument cluster is purely digital. For every other control, you have a 10.2-inch infotainment screen that learns and understands your voice commands rather effectively. So, you could simply ask it open up the spectacular panoramic sunroof, should you want to take in the early morning breeze. There are several buttons to give you quick access to the components you want to control.
