Mercedes-Benz is all set to launch three cars - the S500 Coupe, S63 AMG Coupe and G 63 AMG in new paint schemes – in India tomorrow (July, 30, 2015). Just so you know, the German luxury carmaker had announced to launch 15 cars in India by the end of 2015. The company has already introduced 6 models in the first half of the year. The Mercedes-Benz S500 Coupe and S63 AMG Coupe will be brought to India via CBU (complete built-up unit) route.
Talking about the engine, the S500 Coupe will be powered by a 4.7-litre V8 twin-turbo engine that puts out a maximum power of 453bhp at 5,250rpm – 5,500rpm. It’s the same engine that powers the S500 sedan, and is assembled locally. Whereas, the S63 AMG will derive its power from a 5.5-litre V8 Bi-Turbo engine that is mated to a 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission. This powertrain produces 585bhp of power and a torque of 900Nm.
While with the RWD (rear wheel drive), the S63 AMG will do 0-100kmph in 4.2 seconds, the 4MATIC all-wheel drive model will do the same in 3.9 seconds.It offers a top speed of 250kmph. Features that distinguish both the Coupe siblings is the AMG body kit that includes aggressive bumpers, large multi-spoke alloy wheels, AMG badge, a quad-exhaust and carbon-fibre interior trim. The S63 AMG that claims to shed 65kgs weight, will be lighter than the CL63 AMG.
