Default 2007 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG revealed

In addition to the already-introduced Mercedes SLR 722 Edition and Mercedes CL 63 AMG, the German automaker at the Paris Motor Show today unveiled the Mercedes S 63 AMG luxury sedan. Positioned below the V12 S 65, the S63 offers 525 horsepower and a zero to 62 mph time of 4.6 seconds.

The 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 is also used in the CLS 63, CLK 63, E 63, R 63, ML 63, and CL 63 AMG models. The powerplant is exclusive to the AMG division, and replaced the 5.4-liter '55' supercharged engine series. Visually, the new S 63 is very similar to the S 65, which was introduced in December, 2005.

I love the shot of the engine bay.. instead of covering up the engine with all those plastic, it shows the heart and of the beast

Holy smokes, they have a TT V-12, a S65 and a S63?
I don't think any other luxury car makers, Bentley and RR included can even compete!!

Incredible!

I like the rear exhuast setup of the S63 better than the S65's.
