    Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG (W221) 2006-2013

    The top-of-the-range S-Class V8 model, the Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG, is to benefit from a completely newly developed powertrain. The AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with a peak output of up to 420 kW (571 hp) and a torque of up to 900 Nm, in combination with the unique AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, contributes towards a considerable reduction in consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing maximum power and torque. With a fuel consumption of 10.5 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined), the new high-performance Saloon not only undercuts its direct competitors.

    Was the 2006 year a S65 AMG? This year they changed it to a 63? Strange... Anyway, I still like it. Looks better than any Maybach.

    They have both!

    I was looking for a gated manual shifter, but I didn't find one.

    Wow! Looks amazing! I want one! Wonder if Audi and BMW is going to release a RS8 and M7 to compete with it. But regardless of them doing that, i'd still take the Merc. Now my favourite 4-door!

    Audi already have the S8, which is niche enough without an RS8 that I think would struggle to hit triple figures of sales each year.

    BMW focus more on driver pleasure than hot rods in disguise- hence why there is no X5M, X3M, or M7. The M3 and M5 are natural choices, as are their coupés and convertibles.

    I don't think the S class will ever have room for a manual in the dash. It looks full already. BTW, does the 7 series have a manual too or is it all automatic?

    yes, at least in Italy the S65 is available only in LWB ("Lunga") version, don't know if in other countries it's different.
    the S63 is available in both SWB and LWB versions
