Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Edition 1 opinion: a modern hot rod!
The yellow Yep those that indicate the edition launch a variant of the Mercedes C63 We have already covered the C63 S Cup on a wet circuit soaking, but this is the first time on a road in the UK, and the first experience Edition one Just to make sure you can make the car nerd thing properly, the standard edition gives graphite gray stripes, it is the S that gets vomity of.
Style mainly aping Merc's car DTM Mango selenite matt gray paint, yellow stripes everywhere, yellow details on the inner seats rather nice excellent here, people, yellow brakes, carbon ceramic adjustment standards and a glossy black aerodynamics package which includes a new dam front, side skirts, rear diffuser and chunkier rear spoiler the flared arches and other bits are based on normal C63 coupe, which means that the frameless doors, boot and roof are shared with the standard car Oh, and there are also black, 19s forged wheels on the front, 20 rear also get another yellow band around the rim Bit of a bargain for an extra 5k as you like highlighted in yellow.
No. You're looking still wet sumped Version 4 0 liter V8 twin-turbo sedan and the C63 AMG GT that's 469bhp 479lb ft for the standard car, 503bhp and 516lb ft for the S, somewhat incredibly doing the same bhp that the AMG GT S, but with a 37lb ft more torque BMW M4 S makes 78bhp and 111lb ft more, although this does cost a little more than the BM starting price of 57k.
The statistics are impressive properly S reaches 62 mph in less than four seconds and hit 155 mph on the limiter You can option a higher top end if you hit the autobahn regularly or especially like the prison food which takes you to 180 mph and it feels like it'll get there with some alacrity and perhaps an oath, I will say again - be very careful to move the traction control off in the wet, unless you had a great morning coffee in fact, be wary in the dry - it's enough torque to the tires of the torch to the third speed, and they aren t cheap tires.
Oddly, not at all, in fact, the engine is just a couple of fat swell, making awkward around a breeze Go ahead and with the engine speed to 7k with ease, bringing the power inducing smile and a speed acceleration which easily exceeds safe and it's really, really fast, but it is not bristling, or scary, or one of the other things that the steering is direct you make back REPLACE is strong and consistent, - at least in Sport and to fashion - and here his grip level on a constant throttle gas that inspires confidence Start messing around with the corner entry and exit gas and you get a bit of understeer, oversteer followed by as much as you feel like, or can afford, the diff e standard car gets a mechanical locker dividing driving with precision and good it feels very different to be the sedan C 63 or property, sharper, cleaner and generally more focused Weirdly, it also feels like the suspension is more and more oriented towards sporty driving - exactly as it should be for a cut - this is not just a style different body there is another car Oh, and yes, it is a bit drifty.
As always, Sport and Race modes it is also Comfort, Sport and individual on the dial would be fine for a track, but there are quite heavy vertical movement of the rear axle on the bumps that make balancing pulling a nightmare, especially in the wet it is not as bad as some German cars, but will carry you forward, because the hops Cup essentially on our wobbly backroads Play with the individual mode, and you will soon find what suits you, spirit program once, and is made Hit the preferred settings when playing, cruising in comfort, except for race nonsense from the occasional track and once you understand this, you will a coupe with four seats that will keep a serious sports car down any road, at any time and you won t scare you silly motor is always so well too, and that helps ry theme; with so much torque on offer, you can get completely wrong gear and he'll just carry and the new 7-speed box to move down in 1000rpm redline, which helps.
Yes, literally The exhaust is simply delicious; growl at startup, guttural, phlegmy and quite brilliant on a light throttle - but not unpleasant - pleasant and thundery high speed Ok, so the fireworks popping and snapping off-gas is a synthetic low, and it is not quite as raw materials as old na June 3 V8, but you will not miss I d have an AMG simply noise, and the fact that you can tell where it is in the rev range without looking dials it is addictive.
The edition is obtained S carbon brakes standard adjustment ceramic and they are really phenomenal Usually I'd only defender calcium channel blockers for track work - steels being more than enough for typical road - but they all have the feel of steel brakes, and they just do not fade stopping power is superb, and the consistency of sensation means that you really know how much pressure you rest before the start of the ABS takes a small little getting used to, but everything else will feel a little weak after It is also a lot of high-speed stability, we should probably leave the conversation there.
Well ah It Sá little horror to keep on spraying without gravel drives everywhere pebbles, the infotainment screen still seems a little stuck on I always think to retract into the dashboard, the rear seats are for occasional use and there are many buttons it is also somewhat split on the style front - personally, I think it looks great, especially with editing a front air dam, although the rear is the smaller angle.
Easier to drive faster than a BMW M4, more fun than any Audi RS5, Lexus RC F eats for breakfast But more than that, it is more fun because it works with you rather than make you scared silly you can scare you witless - just turn off the traction control and try to pull smartly on a junction on a Tuesday morning wet - but it is your choice, rather than the standard car setting, it is about balance, and C63 S Coupe that stings the Edition one adds a bit of value for a premium of relatively low prices, although the bands will be fun for about a week - after that I think they'll start to annoy I had to keep it simple with the color scheme and make a good bed subtle atmosphere of the street Other than that, I think this is the best performance coupe with four seats, buy now, without exception.
