2018 AMG GLC63 in black

Picked up this beauty on Friday. What an amazing car! I love the black and red pepper app leather seats as well. But the sound... OMG!

Thank you ��. I test drove both the 63 and the 63s, and I honestly couldn't detect much of a difference between the two, which was confirmed by the specs I saw at the dealer (the difference to 60 is just 1/10th of a second). So spending another $10k (which did include the larger 21" wheels) didn't seem worth it to me.

i thought the S was rated for 3.7 0-60 versus 3.9 on the non S?

I am already commited to the SUV anyways so I never had your luxury of choice. I also do not want 21" wheels so I will dfinitely be going with aftermarket wheels after purchase. thanks for the feedback on your test drive comparison

Yes it gets pricey quick, mine was 98600 with all options, only thing I didn't get was carbon brakes.

The numbers I saw at the dealer where 3.7s vs 3.8s, but either way, that's not much of a difference in the real world It's just really a fun car to drive, tough it will be even more fun after the 1k mile break-in period when I can really explore the power... just ~750 miles left to go

lovely!

car and driver claims they got 3.3s in their GLC63s Coupe. a whole .4 seconds.

if that gets replicated, might be very good news for the GLC63 . I am excited.

I saw that, very cool! MB tends to be conservative in their published 0-60 numbers. So these cars are just fast!

What does one of these GLC 63s coupes weigh? I mean with a tune to a rs7 I've run 2.7 0-60. Nice things about these 4 matic+'s is that they are not dual clutch so it could/should launch like an rs7/rs6/s8 etc..
