S-Class (W223) [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223)

[Mr. Mercedes]

Who said the suspension was crashy? Stiff doesn’t mean crashy. I don’t see why Mercedes would have trouble with suspension on this car vs any other heavy sedan they’ve made.

It's just this forums usual hyperbolic reaction to anything journalist decide to run with as a tag line for a new vehicle launch. The same guys who said the new C's interior was amazing are complaining about the ride of an S-class. I take most reviews these days with a heavy dose of salt and would much rather form my own views when the opportunity arises.

I've been driving a new C63s for 4 days now, and it is a significant step up from older AMG's in terms of body control, ride compliance and harshness. I don't think the C63 is worth what they are asking for, given the drivetrain and interior misgivings, but after my experience with the C I suspect the S has been deliberately tuned the way it has been.

Mercedes has made no bones it is targeting younger buyers and the exterior design changes and firming up the drive are just part of the package. If the C has struck a great balance, the S would be no exception.

I've also driven the SL63 extensively and will be driving the new AMG GT in the coming month or two. Unfortunately the S63 is no longer imported into Australia.

I would be very much interested to hear your feedback on your drives of both the C63 and SL63, both are fascinating cars.

Have you driven the C43? If so how do they compare?

Shouldn't we have a thread dedicated to the AMG S63 W223?

Didn't know that you could configure your own S680 Guard. Pretty cool!
That price equals to 2 Million Euros !

Small IED protection and bulletproofing costs a lot of money I guess.

It's a station wagon Touring, so technically the code should be "S223".

Is that real or generated by AI?

I don’t know how it’s selling but I do see them on the road. I still haven’t see a single C63 yet. The GLC must be selling like hotcakes.

I've seen one single C63 on the road. Fletcher Jones Newport Beach Mercedes has 10 of them in stock currently down here

 

[Merc1]

Discounts can be had on those.

^ For sure. The C63 E-Performance is a sales flop. My local MB dealer had two of them sitting there for a long long time. Thay finally sold them.
Mb should have never messed with the original formula.
It seems every time a preowned E63 or S63 land there they sell so fricken fast, it's unbelievable!
The C63s with the M177 V8 coupled with 4-Matic plus would have been a big sales success for MB.

Back on topic, it seems the latest S63 is doing well. The V8 is playing a role in it.
Driving or riding in an AMG with the M177 V8 will definitely leave an impression on you.

I’ve only seen 2 of them in Turkey. They flopped badly.
