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

But as far as the comparison of these two cars, my husband

Having owned both the Panamera Turbo and the AMG S 63 Coupe, I thought I'd share my thoughts on how they compare... but to begin withThese two cars are too different in character.So, if you want to compare, the soon to be coming to Japan fromAMG GT 4-door coupe to compare.I'm not sure.

He said. On top of that, I would like to share with you another report that my husband put together.

Comparison of two units per scene

I know I have said this many times on this blog.The Panamera Turbo and the S63 are completely different cars in character.I would like to reiterate before I go any further that the "I" is "I".

Driving on public roads

I think most people will find the S63 more comfortable in town, in places where there is a lot of stop-and-go traffic, and on monotonous public roads. Inside the Panamera's cabin, the "Come on, let's drive!The S63 has an atmosphere of ".Relaxing and RelievingIt's an atmosphere of 'I'm not a fan of this.

I feel less tired while driving and feel like I can concentrate on my conversation with my passenger. Therefore.If you consider using it for simple transportation such as commuting or work, the S63 is more preferable.There is no doubt that the

Winding Driving

In terms of "fun" on winding roads, the Panamera is by far the better choice.The S63 is honestly no match for the Panamera in terms of "weight," "roll," and above all, "handling precision.

The Panamera, on the other hand, does not feel "heavy" or "big" on winding roads, and turns corners as if it were attached to the ground. The handling is precise as well.

One thing in particular that I think is different is that "Difference in the center of gravity of the car to be feltIn the S63, the center of gravity feels higher than that of the Panamera, giving the driver the feeling of driving a taller car. In addition, while the Panamera's turning is easily felt centered just behind the driver's seat, the S63's center point is less easily felt, and the car feels as if it turns as a whole.

However, from a "comfort" perspective, this assessment is reversed.So, in the end, I think "what you want from a car" is important.

engine noise

When the S63 is put into Sport mode, it makes a delightful slurping sound like an American V8, and it is entertaining at a reasonable volume. However.It is not as loud as when the Panamera's sport exhaust is turned on.

In terms of sound quality, the S63 is lower and the Panamera has slightly more treble. And the V8 sludge is stronger in the S63, while the Panamera's sound is a bit more grainy.

Incidentally, the blipping sound when downshifting is more loud in the S63, and when the sport mode is selected, a very pleasant "BOOM! When the S63 is set to sport mode, the S63 makes a very pleasant sound when it is revved up.

undercarriage

Even when the suspension is set to sport on the S63, there is not much difference from the comfort mode. The amount of roll does not change much, and the ground feel is not that different.

I'd rather have a little bit of a knack for it.For the S63, I personally prefer the comfort mode.Compared to the Panamera, "theS63's Sport mode is softer than Panamera's Normal modeI feel that the "I'm a good person.

Highway driving and acceleration

On the highwayThe S63 accelerates smoothly and powerfully on a gentle carpet.The Panamera, on the other hand, accelerates as if it were carving up the ground. The Panamera, on the other hand, accelerates as if it were carving up the ground, and no matter what curve it takes, the "Panamera" is always a "winner.Sticky corneringIt gives us a taste of the "new".

By the way.The Panamera is considerably faster in terms of acceleration alone when given full throttle.

So, as a person who already knows the acceleration power of the Panamera Turbo, even if I accelerate in the S63, I can't say, 'I'm not going to accelerate in the S63.Ah, so this is what it looks like.I honestly thought, 'What's the difference between the two? ' In addition to the 'physical speed difference.'Factors such as "play of the gas pedal" and "difference in the slow and fast response.I think that the "Mere Old Man" is making it seem like an afterthought.

The S63 is clearly faster than the Panamera, even though the S63 is better in terms of engine catalog values alone. Here again, the "Porsche's catalog values are more than just numbers.I feel again that "I'm not a good person.

What are the major differences between the Panamera and the S63?

Based on all of this, I think the biggest difference between the S63 and the Panamera is

It's a difference in "handling," or rather, "the feel coming from the steering wheel.

In the case of S63, it is hard to tell the difference in asphalt pavement on the road surface.Feels as if you are driving on a carpet, no matter what the road surfaceThe following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

However, this does not mean that the steering wheel information is rare, as is often the case with domestic luxury cars.While the NVH is firmly blocked, the response of the steering wheel is still present.Do.

The Panamera, on the other hand, is very aware of the asphalt conditions and always feels very highly grounded.The four wheels are firmly grasping the road surface, and the driver has a strong feeling of stepping on the road, and even the roughness, smoothness, and unevenness of the road surface can be detected.

That said.It is by no means a bad ride.It is difficult to describe it in a way that people will understand... Perhaps it would be a little easier to understand if we call it a "firm ride.

The second point is the difference in "acceleration response.

The S63's accelerator response is "Acceleration is achieved when the driver clearly communicates his/her intention to step on the accelerator pedal.It is not that the engine lacks power or that the engine itself has poor RPM response. However, this does not mean that there is "no power" or that the engine itself has poor rotational response.

As the saying goes.A beat of time exists, as if the car is confirming the driver's intention.The car responds by saying, "I'm going to accelerate now," and then it starts to accelerate.

on the other handThe Panamera accelerates and decelerates freely with just a little effort on or off the gas pedal.So in the case of the Panamera, there is no "time for the car to confirm the driver's intention," as if the gas pedal and engine were connected.When the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal, the car accelerates without a moment's pause.

So if you ask "which is easier to drive in town", the S63 is easier to drive, more comfortable and gentler. However, there is less of a "fun-to-drive" factor. I think that is the big difference.

General comments on the comparison

If anyone is torn between the Panamera and the S63, I would first and foremost say, "Clarify your "preference" for your car.I recommend the "I recommend".

I'm not that interested in driving or driving itself.If comfort, luxury, and equipment are important to you, the S63 is the best choice.And, on the other handIf you like driving, fun, and driving itself, don't hesitate to buy a Panamera.to be a good idea.

I think that the actual ownership of these two cars depends on the person's "taste" of the car.Completely opposite evaluations could be given to each car.This is what I mean. This is where the fun and difficulty of evaluating cars lies.
