    I have a strange affinity for sporty luxo-barges, so I was super excited to finally see what MB was going to do with the already-awesome S-Class... Seems a little disappointing. All those big power figures don't seem to add up to anything that would scare even a mid-range Model S. Of course real world tests may surprise, but the first impression is kind of a let down.

    Power is now a commodity and not really noteworthy.

    If your're comparing an S63 to a Tesla... you're doing it wrong...

    Everything about that car should "scare a Tesla", whatever the hell that actually even means. Their commonality will end at being electric and having doors/wheels.

    That was kinda my thought as well, although in reality, there are probably some people that will cross-shop this with a Model S Plaid.

    Regardless, I think the point is no one should be buying this car for outright acceleration. S-class AMGs have never been about that.

    Seems to me that an AMG s-class is kindof a gauche new money thing.

    Scare, as-in instill a concern of being out accelerated and therefore outperformed.

    I'm far from a Tesla fan and would never buy one, but if you watched the video and the build up to the reveal of the stats, you have to think they were a little underwhelming, no?

    My first thought when seeing the thread title was the Brabus 800, and thinking with the hybrid in the new S63 and the instantaneous torque, it would be even more of a rocket. Instead, it barely outperforms the outgoing S63 yet gains 400lbs... Maybe (hopefully) Mercedes' is sandbagging the published stats.


    Maybe it's all for naught... I don't make VP-level money, let alone that of a "President" or RealtorĀ®

    From the first drives of this platform (AMG GT63 E Performance is the only one available to drive so far), it's more the drivability and 0-60 that's improved from instant torque, with a small bump in 1/4 mile times. It's kind of pointless in the S class, nobody drives an S class like they stole it. If they want to compete with the Plaid 1/4 mile times, they need to bump that V8 to 800+hp along with the e performance hybrid.

    This platform seems to be pretty sweet in the new C63 from people riding in it so far, even tho it's a 4 banger. The E63 e performance will be interesting but it looks like it's getting the 4 banger (670hp) and not the 800hp V8 version. The V8 looks to be destined only in the S, AMG GT 4 door, and the new SL.

    Not exclusively. I'd say the new money crowd is the one cross shopping S63 with G63 with Model S Plaid. They just wanna flex.

    I think there's still a market segment of grey-haired white dudes that buys the S63 because it's a luxury boat, and they don't care a ton about acceleration, nor would they ever consider a Tesla. Anecdotally at least, the number of seniors I see driving S63's around Aspen and Springbank indicates that.

    Same. But the good news is I can have a rational debate with her.

    I have a friend's dad that's been buying S65's and S63's every couple of years since they came out. Never has he dipped into any of the power of the cars. He just buys it because it's the most expensive Mercedes sedan out there.

    He actually bought a Model S Plaid this year because of MB shortages, and the Plaid was expensive as fuck. Got rid of it in a month because of the discount interior lol.

    I picture the S63 crowd as dudes with big puffy black prada jackets with fur around the hood and a NY Yankees hat.

    Let's not forget that without REALTORS, none of you would have houses for your wives. We would all be homeless, wandering aimlessly in the brush.

    I believe you are confusing the used S63 market with the new S63 market.

    With all this talk of grey-haired white dudes, seniors and dads, I'm curious - does anyone else "our age" (<50, sorry 'Coupe) find these big sedans appealing, or is it just me?

    I don’t really see any practical difference between an enormous sedan, and an SUV.

    Except maybe an inch less of ground clearance.

    Should probably just buy a trackhawk
