Technical difference between GLC 63 and 63s

Hi guys.

I’ve search online but can’t really find all the details.

I think this a 2 part question. What makes the hp difference between. 63 and 63s. Is it just tune or parts as well? Are there other technical difference between 63 and 63s.

Thank you

I'm trying to find the info, but I believe it's just tuning. No difference in actual parts from what I recall.

And here's the article I remember for the present model, but nothing in 2020 will change engine-wise. 4th paragraph mentions software only changes...

Rear diff's different between the Non-S & the S. They both use the S E-differential from 2020 moving forward.

S has more horsepower, active engine mounts, electronic diff, wheel options, and expensive badge that says S and bragging rights.

I didn't know they had different diffs... especially since even non S models require the 1800 diff fluid change. So non s models have mechanical limited slip diffs?
