2018 S63 4matic sedan 0-60 4.7
I recently tested my 2018 S63 4matic sedan for a 0-60 time. The car has a track timer built in. I could not do better than 4.7 seconds. Can anyone help explain how to achieve the advertised 0-60 performance?

Did you use race start? The W213 E63s has the same engine and transmission. The race start is the same for your W222 2018 S63 |
Thank you!!! Unfortunately, recently I was in a horrific accident and my brand new S63 was totalled. Fortunately, I was unhurt and a new S63 is on order. I will that when I take delivery and let you know! (Late May 2019)
|
So glad you are ok after totalling your S63. How did the accident happen, hope it wasn’t because you were testing the top speed on that beast. |
I was on an interstate highway in upsate NY. 5pm rush hour traffic. It was already dark and raining hard. Thrafdfic came to a stopas people we looking to merge onto an off ramp. I was in the middle of three lanes and had come to a complete stop. Tractor trailer came up behind me and didnt see traffic had stopped and hit me square in the rear of the car going 60mhp. Pushed me into an SUV that was in front of me. My car was TOTALLED, but I walked away without a scratch or bruise!!

OMG. Glad you are okay my friend. 2019 will be a better year for the new engine and transmission so MB has worked out the bugs on the new platform. |
I'm glad you are ok. Will you be getting a 2019 S63?
|
Glad you are okay. Were you able to feel the safety systems kick in before impact? |
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
Just ordered a MY2019 S63 to replace. Went with the same options/congif as before - Porcelain/Black interior, flowing lines trim, etc. But I deleted the rear seat refrigerator. I never used it and it took up valuable trunk space. I did add heated windshield and heads-up display that weren't on my original version. I am pretty meticulous, and was worried about the porcelain seats. I was concerned they would get dirty and be a maintenance problem, but it was no worry at all. Fell in love with it so repeating on the new S63. |

I hope you opted for the carbon ceramic brakes( CCB ) as I heard nothing, but good things about it and you’ll have one of a kind S63 with it. Plan on going with CCB on my next AMG. Be well. |
Using race start is easy as stomping brake then the accelerator and releasing brake in any dynamic mode (c, s, s+) in the 2018s.
|
Do you have race start as an option listed under sport+?
I have a coupe and the race start is an option I can choose. It's listed below sport + but it's not listed under the sedan. |
Not listed and I cannot choose that option like in the video. Just smash pedals and go.

Contact MBusa and tell them it’s false advertising according to their website. |
First run, second run 2/12 about the same time so didn't bother to log it but it is in the history of the car. Figured this is better to show them (the dealer/mb) cause it is with the car's factory app so either its recording is broken or my car is broken haha. I think I can maybe pull a 4.4 with a longer road and better tires.

Last night I did 3.29 seconds 0-60mph on winter tires and 28 degrees outside. I believe MB advertises 3.4 seconds 0-60 mph. I did use Race Start on my ‘19 S63. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...bd89bf344.jpeg |

MT, that is awesome. Good to know. MBusa told me to just bring it to dealer. I'll keep logging my results until I get a chance to bring it in.
