My husband recently had the opportunity to test drive an AMG C63S Edition 1 for a friend of his. Please take a look if you would like to read it.

AMG C63S Test Drive Review

K, a long-time acquaintance and owner of a 718 Boxster GTS.AMG C63S Edition1 was purchasedSo, I was asked to show them this time.

As for my Mercedes history.R171 SLK350, R129 SL500, and AMG S63 CoupeI have owned an AMG S63I had the impression that the coupe was a luxurious, comfortable, and fast car, but I had never driven the S63's little brother, the C63, so I was very much looking forward to this day.

What it's like to own a Mercedes-Benz AMG S63 4MATIC Coupe (C217)

A little past our meeting time, the AMG C63S arrived with a heavy bass sound typical of V8 cars. The black body, matte black wheels with recently trendy red lines painted around them, and the red decoration of the grille matched the car well.

The interior is as luxurious as you would expect from AMG.It is. The dashboard is also upholstered in leather.Separate from ordinary C-ClassThe "I" in the name of the "I" is the "I" in the name of the "I". On the other hand, the glove box and rear seatCenter console, etc. made of resin instead of leather upholsteryI think it would be even cooler if this area were upholstered in leather. I think it would look even better if this area were upholstered in leather, but I wonder if this is available as an option.

Nevertheless, the slightly reddish carbon panels and abundant use of aluminum materials give the entire interior a very tactile and high quality feel.

Seats a little tight.The seat is thick and very comfortable.Some Mercedes sports cars, such as the previous generation E-Class Coupe and SLK, had very thin seat surfaces. In my case, my buttocks sometimes hurt after riding for a long time, but the seats of this C63S were very comfortable.

The side support is firm, not too big, not too small, and the best size for me, about 177 cm tall. Compared to this, the Panamera's seat is still a bit thin and too big.

According to the report, the car isThe Edition 1 is a limited edition car with exclusive AMG performance seats.It seems.
The back seat is adequate, if not spacious, for an adult. Even a person of my height can sit comfortably without any knee contact.

First, let's start driving in comfort mode. The car runs normally, which is hard to imagine from the information we had heard beforehand that the maximum output is 510ps/5500-6250rpm and the maximum torque is 700Nm/2000-4500rpm.A little lighter on the gas pedal than the old Mercedes and Porsche.But soon it gets used to it and can run normally.

The foot is clearly stiff, and when there is a large input, the sound and vibration are clearly transmitted with a thumping sound.However, as in recent high-performance sports cars, the vibration is properly rounded off, so there is no direct vibration to the body. On the other handOn clean paved surfaces, it is as comfortable as an ordinary C-Class.It is.

The ride in this area is quintessential.S63Where it differs from other places such as.S63The "A" and "B" are properly differentiated because they try to suppress vibration and sound at any given moment.

I imagined the handling would be more agile since it's a C63S.When driving in comfort, the car turns as much as it cuts, just like a Mercedes. From the beginning of the turn to the end of the turn, the car traces a precise line while leaving just a little bit of play.

When driving, the rigidity of the body, rather than thelumpinessI feel the "mass" very much. This sense of mass is amazing. I have experienced several cars with similar rigidity in the past, but I think this is one of the best. It is just like being inside a shell, and it feels like a vehicle with tires on the four corners of the shell.

C63SI am most impressed with the lumpiness of the ride on theIt is.

The balance between the sense of security that comes from this sense of mass and the seat's moderate tightness and hold is very good and comfortable. When the accelerator pedal is pressed hard, the car moves forward with abundant torque.
