The Mercedes-AMG s 63 sedan has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 2.53 crore (ex-showroom, Bangalore). This is the company's ninth AMG offering in India.

The S 63 is based on the S-Class sedan. It comes with restyled bumpers, 19-inch AMG 10-spoke alloy wheels, AMG badges and a quad-exhaust system which distinguish it from the regular S-Class sedan.

The S 63 is powered by a 5,461 cc, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine that produces 577 BHP and 900 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed automatic gearbox. Mercedes claims that the car can hit 100 kph from a standstill in 4.4 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 250 kph.

On the inside, it gets AMG door sills, an AMG instrument cluster, electrically adjustable AMG seats for the driver and front passenger with memory function, a 3-spoke, Nappa leather-wrapped AMG sports steering wheel and aluminium gearshift paddles, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting and analogue clock among other features.

Mercedes has equipped the S 63 with its Magic Body Control suspension system, which detects road conditions and adjusts the suspension accordingly. Comfort and Sport modes have been provided so that the driver can adjust the suspension and steering manually. Other features include a head-up display, night view assist plus, seat comfort package and COMAND Online. A 1,540W Burmester 3D surround sound system is optional.

Customers can customise their Mercedes-AMG S 63 using the newly-launched 'Designo' platform. They have the choice of selecting from a number of combinations of exterior colours, interior upholstery and design trim elements. Performance and comfort features can also be added.
