Quick TestCar reviews - Mercedes-AMG - C63 - SMercedes-AMG modelsOverviewMercedes-AMG’s C63 S gains some fine-tuning but retains its brutal character7 Feb 2019 SINCE launching in 2008, the Mercedes-AMG C63 S has emerged as one of the Affalterbach-based brand’s most important models, playing a large part in justifying the brand’s expansion across other model lines.
First launched in mid-2015, the current-generation C63 S has now been mildly updated with revisions to suspension, a new nine-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission and some light equipment changes.
At its heart remains the brutal 375kW/700Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, which outmuscles its two main rivals – the BMW M3/M4 Competition and Audi RS4/RS5.
Over a day of driving we found out that while the new C63 S has gained some extra road manners, it still remains the snarling and angry beast that has captured hearts for over a decade.
