First drive assessment

AMG beat its path to high-overall performance credibility with a hammer. The German pace shop’s first avenue vehicle, the 355-hp 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer sedan, set the file for the world’s fastest manufacturing 4-door at 178 mph, then set the pace for the subsequent 30-12 months parade of raucous, tire-shredding AMG brutes. But as of late, greater civilized automobiles and the usage of all-wheel force advocate that these days’s AMG swings its hammer a bit more softly in change for extra chassis control and progressed traction. That scares us, because—dodge Hellcats notwithstanding—loud and brash machines like the outgoing C63 AMG coupe are increasingly uncommon. The new Mercedes-AMG C63 coupe doesn’t come off as a shouter at first glance. Twin turbochargers muffle the small-displacement four.Zero-liter V-eight, and the exhaust terminates in a quartet of peashooter tailpipes hidden behind the jumbo trapezoids inside the rear bumper. Yet pin the throttle and this more efficient engine is nearly as wild because the certainly aspirated 6.2-liter V-eight that it replaces. The high-output C63 S version packs a 503-hp sledge of an engine that pummels the concrete, even as a seven-pace automated thwacks through ratios and a bawdy, unmistakably 8-cylinder thunder blares. In true traction-be-damned AMG fashion, it sends all 516 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.
It’s now not just a Sexier C63 Sedan amongst its peers, the C63 stays the biggest bruiser. The C63 S holds a seventy eight-hp advantage over the BMW M4 and a 39-hp facet at the Cadillac ATS-V. Non-S C63 fashions make 469 horsepower and 479 lb-toes—nonetheless on the front of the p.C., but you have to pass on the upgraded S handiest if the extra 8 to 10 grand would bankrupt you. Beyond the more power, the S model provides the option of carbon-ceramic brake discs at the front axle and replaces the mechanical restricted-slip differential with an electronically controlled unit. It additionally augments the mode selector with a Race placing to relax the stableness manage, stiffen the dampers, and sharpen the shifts past recreation+. AMG eagerly points out that the C63 coupe isn't just a C63 sedan with two fewer doorways. Engineers in Affalterbach gifted the coupe a shorter final-power ratio—3.06:1 in the -door versus 2.85:1 in the sedan—for quicker acceleration. Helped through a 100-pound weight gain, the C63 S coupe have to tear down a instantly one tick beforehand of the 4-door, clearing 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The coupe also gets a completely unique rear suspension; it isn’t shared with both the C63 sedan or the much less effective C-elegance coupes. In pursuit of a greater rigid meeting, AMG rearranged the upper links, changed several bushings with ball joints, and widened the rear song through 1.7 inches compared with the AMG sedan. The wider rear stance ought to make the coupe greater liable to understeer than the sedan, despite the fact that we can’t say that’s definitively the case with out driving the 2 returned-to-again. In spite of the extra rear-end grip, the C63 S coupe does a nice activity getting its the front tires to chew and lead the car round a avenue direction on sparkling rubber. The steerage is hefty and accurate, though largely unfeeling. But as the Michelin Pilot superb sports heat up, the car becomes a 3800-pound pendulum, scrubbing the front tires in one corner and then swinging the ass huge within the subsequent. In case you’re a tune rat logging your lap times, the BMW and Cadillac are better alternatives. Proper to its predecessor, although, the C63 makes drifting as smooth as tapping your big toe.
