That is the perfect spec imo.

W205C43PFL

That is cashmere right? I didn't watch the video yet : )

This has become a joke. 4 years now since the S class was introduced - and no sign of S63. Announced in December and then no word for 6 months. Still no word on DOG and order banks.

W205C43PFL

Just a correction, it was not cashmere, it is opalith white.

not denying that. I thought Mercedes-AMG went in to some issues with the E Performance drivetrain but what I read it seems like it is working way better than the GT4D's E Performance drivetrain. That said, I don't think any driving reviews were released yet?

Must still be in blackout or they'd be out there.

W205C43PFL

I think forum member js_cls spotted some on his trip, and still very heavily (or lightly?) camouflaged they are doing a lot of testing for sure.

W205C43PFL

Forum member js_cls shared an instagram post on another thread, from that thread, that instagramer posted a 1st edition S 63 E Performance feed:

I saw that, I was just saying I think it's still in embargo in the US or else we'd be seeing the car reviewed at all the usual sights.

W205C43PFL

Right... problem is we don't have anyone here that knows when that will be lifted and what really is going wrong, what is taking so long. How many months since reveal did the GT4D GT63 S E Performance 's embargo to be lifted? Or was it lifted yet? What about C 63 S E Performance?

sam9187

Makes no sense to me. Why even unveil the S63 if it's not ready to be released? MB USA is off the rails - leadership needs to be replaced. Every year MBUSA gets worse IMO.

On some recent models they're doing way better all of a sudden. i think they;ve begun to make changes after recieving feedback, the S63 was just too quick for that. But they managed to get the EQS SUV, EQE SUV, GLE facelift, and GLC facelift launched almost as soon as cars started being built (very little VPC waiting), and the new SL43, GLA facelift, and GLB facelift already have pricing way before release and only a bit after announcement. So they're improving. Slowly.

W205C43PFL

Yup, the entire department, ie. some models are arriving at dealerships and even delivered to customers without a working online configurator then there are those trim lines forcing customers to choose what they want and not customers wants and can't choose certain standalone options as a result.

W205C43PFL

Well I mean you have a point, so that is a good thing. Although. Slowly.

Never liked Mercedes Benz, but this car is gorgeous.

W205C43PFL

You never liked MB? How come?

To my mind, it was an old man's car. Preferred BMW Alpinas, until BMW went completely bonkers with EV tech, general reliability.

W205C43PFL

I see, I mean AMGs are dual personality, test drive one of any AMGs especially V8s and you will be impressed with a switch of a button (Sport+ to Comfort and Comfort to Sport+ etc. with or without exhaust on) the car have a completely different character, as you expect handling, ride, performance/response/acceleration all changes.

The S63 is currently having a US Press Event as we speak.

BenjaminKohl

Before the ordering guide for the US is even out. Weird.

W205C43PFL

So soon then

W205C43PFL

Perhaps it will come out after the press event or when US reviews drop? Whenever that embargo is till.

W205C43PFL

Another spec:

W205C43PFL

Noticed MercBenzKing posted the review a few hours ago, it was then taken down assuming it was a mistake and embargo has not been lifted yet, I wonder if it will be lifted soon.
