When it comes to perfection in everything, nothing can beat a S-Class.

[@teeduke2918]

Harbir Brar what about the new 2016 7 series BMW? you seen the tech in that beast? me I like Mercedes s-class better but was just asking your opinion.

[@WeirdWabbit]

Just picked one up for around 43k, so excited depreciation peak is a wonderful thing

[@JustRicky]

Whenever I go through my mid-life crisis this is the type of vehicle I would buy. lol

[@geraldydossous678]

I'm so in love with the s63amg coupe.

[@itzmando]

What what an amazing piece of engineering!! I love the front end on MBs as of late, but that rear to the coupe is eh. Styling is great minus the rear, the interior is just gorgeous!! I love it the whole concept car layout!! Great work reviewing this coupe. At that price point I could never own such a car, you are spot on about the 1% -ters.

[@East17A]

the first time ever i see usable back seat on a coupe .. i hope the rest of the auto coupe brands get it ..

[@Shadow-lq7rx]

+East17A i have a lexus rc200t and the backseat is pretty good if your 5'11 and under 6 foot and you'll have to turn your neck, but i thought not bad for a coupe.

[@michaelg4334]

This car makes me want to cry. Its just amazing

[@exodus3252]

Beautiful car. I'd love to put around town in this beast. Nice review, Steve.

[@05056240]

Danny, all big AMGs (SL, S, S Coupe) have ABC suspension which is different than the regular Airmatic. Actually they have nothing in common. Regular Airmatic uses a small compressor and air bladders on all four corners. ABC uses high pressure hydraulic pump (close to 200 bars) and hydraulic fluid to control body movements.

[@stevehammes]

Danny...car had the standard brakes. And do doubt I'd take this over a 911...different machines, but this is to my liking.

[@jeremiahanthony5521]

Can u make a video on the Volkswagen passat

[@stevehammes]

Jeremiah Anthony Just search Hammes and Passat and you'll see several.

[@teeduke2918]

TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes I would. especially the s65 AMG. i'll take it over the 911 any day of the year.

[@LeatherandLuxuryCarsd]

TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes I'm not usually a import fan but until a American car maker makes one like this I will love it it's to pretty and clean looking not to love great video.

[@teeduke2918]

***** this car is freaking awesome! love it...I would actually take this over the Aston Martin Rapide s and the Bentley Continental gt speed.

[@flaviomazzetto]

I liked the video, but I prefer you to focus on the sensation of driving then say about the brochure. A magazine can show the specs. The presenter speaks in a good time, it's not too slow or too fast. So, focus on the sensation of driving than other things.

[@teeduke2918]

I actually seen one of these today for the first time. it looks pretty good!

[@crysis888]

Let's just hope these prove to be extremely reliable and not plagued with electrical problems every few years so I can pick one up in the future for cheap, because these things depreciate like hell.

[@sforza209]

That car is simply beautiful! You are a lucky guy to have driven such an amazing car!

[@MXALOVE]

Mercedes needs to cut you a check for the way you described this car.

[@stevehammes]

They just gave me the car instead.

[@Bwause83]

best interior money can buy. I LOVE british interiors, but even I must say, this one is better than any jaguar, rolls royce or bentley.

[@93455Driver]

Great review, will admit though I would be happy with a C class AMG and I would rip out the sound proofing! Merc has done okay with replacing the old NA v9

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

What is the difference betwen this car and the cls? They seem to have the same engine and the cls looks bigger but yet its cheaper?

[@Vegas3662]

Love the shots of UAlbany!

[@Livekernalevent]

Some people bought this 9 year old car for $50k in 2024 and think they got a great deal. Prepare another 50k for repair bills. There are good reasons why original owner get rid of it after 4 years when warranty expires.

[@zenmaster8299]

Hey Steve - Thanks for the clip !! I was driving the S 65 coupe for some hours in winter cause my dealer wanted me to get one S63. The S 65 was kind of boring to me. So, I wonder if the S63 feels more alive in any way. I know it was winter with winter tires and all the stuff... What do u think , Did u drive an S 65 as well? Kind regards from Oversea ;)

[@phk8411]

I'm next to own this super car

[@ZestyLemonBoi]

Brilliant!

[@ByoprixXx]

Very nice house 👌🏼

[@Rick2010100]

4:55 6 piston - Dude, this is a classic V12 engine with 12 pistons and 36 valves and also quadruple camshaft´t pruducing 1.000 NM torqe by ca. 630 bh in also low RPM at 3.500 RPM

[@paulwhitbread3156]

Talking about break system not engine cylinders

[@pedrof830]

I wanna come back as Steve Hammes!!

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Was that a real back drop im the beginning? Looked like a green screen

[@stevehammes]

DoubleD 613 Na, it was real.

[@Pali4life2]

What do you mean by "multi clutch transmission"? Does it have more than two clutches? If not you should really use "dual clutch".

[@stevehammes]

Pali4life2 Indeed, the 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission used in the S63 AMG Coupe and a host of other AMG models is a multi-clutch gearbox and differentiates itself from the 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT dual-clutch transaxle used in the AMG GT S by featuring an innovative start-up clutch, which runs in an oil bath and replaces a conventional torque converter. Thanks to its low rotational mass, the start-up clutch helps the transmission respond instantaneously and dynamically with no slip. Fitted with seven speeds, four shift modes and a double-clutching function, the MCT transmission offers impressive versatility and even faster shift times.

[@Pali4life2]

TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes Good information, thank you Steve. Sounds like it has many components, hopefully it proves to be a reliable transmission.

[@sanderstreefkerk5323]

AMG engines aren't assembled by just 1 men per engine, they specialize on a part of the engine. Subsequently the name you see on the plate is choosen randomly from the group of people building the engines.

[@stevehammes]

Well, that's sad. Thanks for ruining my day 😉

[@sanderstreefkerk5323]

TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes The devil is in the detail auto critic Steve Hammes ;-)

[@martinkaijage7140]

Not true I've seen the engine built and the engineer gets to place his name because it's a piece of art

[@justrandomthings319]

Lies. The name on the engine is the name of the person who actually built the engine. You can even see it happening when you tour their factories.

[@shottadancer]

I want this car

[@scottvilleneuve5985]

Loved the sedan. This coupes design is on point.

[@chigasaki06]

Scott Villeneuve On point is an understatement. When I was driving, one pulled up next to me, and I almost crashed because I was staring at it. The outside, the inside; just GORGEOUS! There aren't many cars I would buy that costs over 100k (if I could afford them), but this is one of the few that I would get.

[@scottvilleneuve5985]

chigasaki06 Definitely. The S63 sedan I drove was fast and sounded great, but I think the enhancements that they made to this coupe would make me go this route, especially since the pricing is near identical. Albeit, the rear seats aren't quite as usable in this. Would have to drive this though to see if I'd take it over the Bentley Continental GT V8S.

[@teeduke2918]

chigasaki06 what's the difference between this and the s65 version?

[@teeduke2918]

Scott Villeneuve I'll take the s65 coupe over the Bentley Continental GT V8S. I guess I would the s63 too right. anybody that would take the s65 over a Bentley I guess would take the s63 also. right? their both the same car.

[@VonGreen]

I kinda feel a little stupid by making this question, but i really don't know what that means exactly so I have to ask... What exaclty means when you say that the shifts are a little bit "clunky"? I mean, does it give a little bump feeling when it shift at low speed or something like that? I heard the same expression in different review videos and every time I feel that I'm not following the meaning precisely...

[@stevehammes]

Von Green Read: not smooth with noticeable hesitation or abruptness between gear shifts

[@VonGreen]

+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes Thanks for the feedback. I find pretty common to hear that about cars with dual clutch/multi clutch systems. I'm just an enthusiastic about cars but I think it may be caused by the lack of the torque converter that is common in the usual clutch systems. Anyway I'm just paraphrasing here. By the way; nice video and great review. I liked a lot of the angles that you show of the interior.

[@stevehammes]

Von Green Thanks!

[@fludeball]

When that car starts, it sounds like me clearing my throat after eating a bunch of cheese.

[@reynaldocordero4247]

Nice!

[@curtisjohnson2195]

Accord coupe sport

[@reynaldocordero4247]

Not even close Curtis Johnson​. Its the 15' Mercedes S63 AMG. Beast Mode.

[@curtisjohnson2195]

No you don't get it, the two are damn near identical

[@reynaldocordero4247]

I don't agree. They are world's apart in look and performance Curtis Johnson​

[@reynaldocordero4247]

Aye where you from? I looked at your profile say you work at Frank's. It doesn't say where you live. I know of one Frank's Curtis Johnson​

[@achiepalaago]

Isn't the S65 the top of the range and hence better than this model?

[@pspcow]

The v12 in the s65 is for comfort, the v8 in this s63 is for speed

[@Niles-Guy]

This S63 or Bentley GT? Overall great review

[@stevehammes]

Thanks! I'd take this.

[@afa6361]

Rear doesn't look that great. Price is also an issue as they are going in Aston, Bentley, and ultra brand cars.

[@teeduke2918]

***** yeah but the tech they use in the coupes and the comfort makes it worth the price. we talking Mercedes here. not some cheap brand car company. what makes Aston Martins worth their price?

[@youngblood23rb]

I don't like the look at all, and the rear tail lights have a BMW 6 Series look to it. One high priced wierd shaped car IMO

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Now it´s so complicated to even drive :D

[@JustinSmithPYRO]

Although this is a nasty car. I'll stick to my 2014 C63 AMG. Absolutely love it. And yes this one has a 100 more horse then my car, it also weighs about 900 pounds then mine.

[@alek385]

By the time I make enough money to buy this car it will be considered an old timer and petrol engines will not be produced anymore. Everything will run on electric engines... Damn it!

[@WassupFred]

That was a great review. This is just ... i mean.. this must feel like sex buckling the seat beat... lol Breathtaking

[@TekTrekgamer]

So did you like the car or not Steve? I couldn't tell :-P

[@stevehammes]

Sebastian Prooth Ha!! You probably see these on the road much more often than I do.

[@golgo1398]

"...can go from luxury to gonzo in under 4 seconds" rofl

[@primusjayleene]

Us or £.

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

holy macaroni

[@lawrencekitt5582]

2020 Cost 40,000 now

[@arturozamora8711]

Ingeniería Alemana

[@MisterKabul89]

this car is made for movies

[@Jia1337]

For the money, obviously this than a damn Ferrari...

[@justrandomthings319]

I would eat somebody's fart just to own this car.

[@syedalirazashamsi2909]

❤👍

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Sorry but for $230,000 i rather have a lamborgini hurrican

[@teeduke2918]

DoubleD 613 yeah I hear you. the thing with that car is it's not a everyday car you would drive. for that price I would actually buy the s65 coupe over the Huracan. the huracan just doesn't offer you enough content. it's small and just doesn't have enough going on in the interior for me. the s63&65 coupe offers sport like driving. it offers luxury plus has a great interior. the interior in them is so gorgeous it's mind blowing. it is well worth the price and it offers you a lot more then it's price range rivals like the Bentley Continental , Lambo huracan. the only one that can compete with the s65 coupe and win is the Aston Martin Rapide s.

[@justrandomthings319]

+DoubleD 613 I'm a huge Lambo fan but I'd take this car ANY DAY. You can actually live in it.

[@Aramis_Production]

Horrible kitchy interior, nasty pimpy color scheme.

[@Nikodemasv]

worst review ever
