Sage limousine normally, the S-Class becomes thirsty nasty motorway as it passes into the hands of AMG. The new generation is no exception to this tradition, applied to the V8 as the V12.
"Limousine" and "sportsmanship" are two terms that it is not usual to associate. Yet for Mercedes S-Class has made a habit of attending workshops AMG. It has even become so addicted to doping she swallows a double dose, with two distinct muscular versions. Freshly unveiled the new generation of this large sedan also follow the same regime. From the Los Angeles Auto Show in late November, we discover its variant 63 AMG, always driven by the 5.5 twin-turbo V8. There will still be a clear difference with its predecessor: this time, all-wheel drive will be offered as the "small" Class E (below) and CLS. A small power cure also included in the program, with minimum 557 hp or 585 hp for the declination S.
But Mercedes now sports two big headlights highlighted diodes instead of four optical ago.
As usual, the E63 AMG is also available as a station wagon. A nice mix between a road, a mover and a dragster.
As for the chassis, it will benefit from the innovative Magic Body Control, probably optional. A camera is then responsible for scrutinizing the road to adjust suspension settings controlled in real time. What hope turn this heavyweight ballerina, without depriving it of any comfort. But for those who prefer straight lines to curves, it will soon be possible to opt for the S65 AMG. Heavier, especially on the front, this variant will continue to have a 6.0 V12 biturbo, rewarded with 630 hp and 1000 Nm to a minimum. However, we do not yet know if she will enjoy all-wheel drive, which would be well worth it to avoid turning his tires up in smoke every time a traffic light turns green.
