It's pretty amazing that Merc / AMG were able to get fuel economy that efficient out of that big old V8. I'm sure some of it comes from the bi turbos, but those are still better fuel numbers than 6 cylinders were making 10 - 15 years ago. Out of a V8 pushing over 600+ hp. That's honestly super impressive.

Raschaud Farmer the end result matters not the journey. The Ghost: some of the materials inside were disappointing. The plastic switch gear - it should be metal at that price point (the steering wheel is an example) Ghost II didn’t move anything along from Ghost I. I prefer the design S-class interior design and there are nice touches with the ambient lighting and the way it’s done. I was more impressed with the S-Class.

Fantastic review, my man. I just got a 2020 S 63 AMG and I'm extremely addicted to it. I lose sleep a lot because I can't really sleep in anticipation of getting up to drive the next day. I drive aimlessly at times because the car is so thrilling to drive. Not to mention it's a head turner. Amazing car. Very few will experience the breath taking joy of driving an S Class. I'm grateful for the experience. New sub here. Keep it up.

[@timoliver3131]

I can TOTALLY understand your pen about this car, was/is the same way with my 2022 Audi A8 L. Black on Black, Black option package, rear wheel steering, the total package. Not gloating, bragging or bloating about this car, those who own such vehicles are in a rare category. I absolutely LOVE my car, compliments most EVERYWHERE I go...Yet, after driving the AMG S63, driving experience has NOT been the same...what if's driving me crazy!

Hey, Joey! I've always loved looking for AMG videos on the E, S and GTR classes. This car is one of a kind. I believe the S63, beats the Audi S8 and BMW M750Li. I would choose the benz over those but everyone has their own opinion and choice. God bless you guys.

[@bitwc3]

Joe - In regards to accelerator/brake pedal design, would suggest the use of the phrase "truncated dome design with rubber domes with/through a brushed aluminum surface plate". Write technical reports for a living and that design is similar to handicapped crosswalk identification pavement surface design. One of a million suggestions I'm sure. Love the vids. Keep em coming.

Nice review! One thing though the facelift and power changed in the 2018 model upgraded from the 2017. So this 2019 is the same as 2018 in terms of power/torque. Also the performance numbers you mentioned of 0-60 in 3 secs and 11.2 1/4 is the lighter E63 AMG not the S63. The S63 is 0-60 in 3.4 secs and 11.6 at 121 1/4.
