2015 Mercedes-AMG S 63 Coupe first drive review - Overdrive
The coupe body form based on the S-Class has always been called CL-Class for some reason and I’ve always wondered why. Because it neither looks like the S-Class, nor does it drive like it. The S-Class Coupe is now in India in the form of the S 63 AMG Coupe and it has taken a mighty potshot at the S-Class’ right to be called the ‘best car in the world’. If you thought that the S-Class was a bit too stately and aloof, the way a luxury saloon is supposed to be, the Coupe brings exhilaration and zest to the design. If you’re wondering what’s so great about the intelligent LED projector lamps with DRLs and turn indicators, you’ve not looked close enough. The turn indicators and DRLs have 94 Swarovsky crystals embedded – 47 in each unit – 30 for each turn indicator and 17 for each DRL strip. As you move towards the side, you notice the fastback approach to the rear and the fact that the rear axle has been brought forward reducing the wheelbase by 90mm. I’ll get to what that does to the rear seat space and ride quality a bit later, but... The S 63 gets the stunning 19-inch ten-spoke AMG wheels that barely hide the massive red AMG brake callipers. The back of the S 63 AMG Coupe is the best angle to look at it from. Source: overdrive.in
