Test Results - S63 5.5 V8 Biturbo
Autozeitung (German car mag) tested the new S63 with the 5.5L TT V8 with the performance package (571hp/664lbs-ft tq). It ran 0-100km/h: 4.5s and 0-200km/h: 13.7s. The car weighed in at a quite porky 2,308kg (5,078lbs). I think the important thing to look at is the 100-200km/h split: 9.2s.
For context the Panamera Turbo was tested by the same magazine at 0-100km/h: 3.9s and 0-200km/h: 13.5s with a 100-200km/h split of 9.6s.
If they can keep the weight down when they drop this engine in the E-class...look out...

Too bad they are calling it a 63, I think this is the first departure from numerical engine designation in MB/AMG history.

It's close. However, the current 300 series is actually a 2.8L and the 63 series is really a 6.2L. I just had training on this and the main reason they did not re-name the cars to correspond is b/c most people think the numbers have to do with size of the car, not the motor. MB did not want any more confusion

I think it actually started a little bit earlier than that.... the C230 Kompressors (the ones pre-2006) were 1.8L and post-2006 became 2.5L. I think also the C240 became a 2.6L, etc.... it started with the lower-end models and slowly moved their way up.

Not so concerned with the starting line as much as the finishing line. These new motors are so ripe with potential!! Just cant imagine these things with turbs cranked up, headers, cooling mods and intake.
Gonna be insane! Ill be proud to relinquish Our titles as fastest V8s in the AMG family.
Heres hoping for quick cracking of the software!

They expect an easy mid 600hp (with just ECU)and mid 700 lbs torque.

Drives Slowly
Are you guys really excited about a 5,000+lbs car with 571hp? Horsepower is great but the S63 is the equivalent of a fat chick with really big *****........just because you have one outstanding attribute does not mean that the final product is desirable.
God have mercy on all of you.

It's supposed to be an ultra luxury daily driver with all the power you may need (or not need).
There is just something very satisfying when driving a tank like that ,when you step on it ,it takes off like there is no tomorrow.....

if they drop this in the E class it would truly be impressive if it can hit 124mph in 11.7 or under. IMHO

With all it's bulk it still manages to outperform a Panamera Turbo at midrange speeds,no mean feat in itself....

that 17 second test result is flawed the S63 tested the exact same 0-60 and clocked 13.0@110 through the 1/4 mile no possible way it takes 4 seconds to go from 110-125 not in a 63. The S63 likely is very similar to its 531 hp counterpart and ofcourse a tad slower to the 570 version.
I would be willing to bet a billiondollars the S63 could hit 125mph under 17 seconds, lol
