The new S-class preview has already created wows around the world as it is pure luxury blended with the classic beauty of a luxury sedan. I wonder if anyone would still want more of a car than the current release. We are talking about the S63, which was previewed by AMG recently and the new drive comes with all wheel 4MATIC Tech.
The car as shown in the video beholds an ample count of horses i.e, a whooping 577 HP with 664-pound-foot twin-turbo V-8 AMG heart. Now with that kind of power, it will be a shame if you are forced to drive at any speeds less than a three digit count. The anti body roll, the drive matic and a ton of safety features will make you want to be inside the car at all times.
A popular car magazine, motor authority says
The car has cut down on the aluminium usage and has gone for carbon fibre so the benefit is that although it is bigger than older S class, the car is 220lbs lighter in weight. An adjustable-height, adjustable-damping-rate air suspension with increased camber, stiffer anti-roll bars and a stiffer front subframe underpins the whole affair.
The flaws suggested include the body roll - and not so precise steering, but that is not a deal breaker as the intelligence of the car suggests you the speed that you want to hit a corner and if you do so you will be rewarded more than what you asked for. For India, we will have to wait really long to see one on the road but for international audience, the car will be out in few months at showroom.

A popular car magazine, motor authority says
" Instead of Magic Body Control, the S63 AMG makes do with an adjustable Airmatic suspension. Although it can't see and adjust to the road ahead, it's still supple yet firm, controlling body motion without upsetting the ride.
Traction seems inexhaustible, even on the rain-soaked autobahn where I spent much of my time with the car. The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system has a fixed torque split, sending 2/3 of the power to the rear wheels, 1/3 to the forward axle, no matter the conditions. This rear-biased setup helps keep the driven front wheels from creating torque steer or other nasty all-wheel-drive traits."
