The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class continues to represent the company’s flagship sedan lineup, which many aficionados consider being some of the finest luxury sedans in the world. 1,400. less than last year’s version, and with more content. Even though the S-Class is categorized as a fully equipped sedan, the 2009 models benefited from several technological, comfort and convenience enhancements. All new S-Class models now come with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, as well as new push-pull power window switches and a “Hold” convenience-braking feature. The optional Distronic Plus system includes Blind Spot Assist, which monitors both blind spots and warns the driver whenever a turn signal is activated with a vehicle in the blind spot. The system also incorporates Park Assist, which utilizes six radar sensors mounted behind the front and rear bumpers - eliminating the need for the visible “portholes” of the previous ultrasonic-based system. When reverse gear is engaged, the parking system superimposes guidance lines on the rear-view camera display, and the guidance lines actually change with steering input to make parking easier.

But let’s get to the heart of our review - the 2014 S63 AMG 4MATIC sedan, with a powerful biturbo production 5.5-liter V8 under the hood, built almost entirely of high-strength silicon-aluminum alloy. The engine features four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, bucket-type cam followers (rather than rocker arms), and a variable intake manifold. The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG displays special body styling, alloy wheels, sports suspension and a high-performance braking system - all AMG designed specifically for the 2014 model. The front bumper is muscular with large air intakes flanking a wide, lower horizontal intake just below the five-horizontal chrome bar grille with a chrome surround and special AMG badge and iconic hood-mounted tri-star emblem. A V8 BiTurbo badge adorns both front fenders. Contoured side skirts complement the aggressive lines of the front bumper to the rear, where an AMG rear apron emphasizes the vehicle’s width. Dual twin rectangular tailpipes complete the unique look and pleasant V8 rumble of the S63 AMG.

In the interior, drivers are greeted by an AMG sport steering wheel with distinctive aluminum shift paddles and AMG multi-contour leather sport seats finished in attractive cross stitching. Completing the interior package is an exclusive analog clock modeled on the design of the “IWC-Ingenieur” series in the center of the polished, Burled Walniut dash. The suspension and brake systems of the S63 AMG have been designed specifically for high-performance driving. Mercedes-Benz ABC active suspension, tuning it for even flatter cornering and less body movement in spirited driving scenarios. A Sport-Comfort-Manual button on the center console allows the driver to choose between three different transmission shift programs that also fine-tune accelerator pedal response and the sport suspension spring-shock settings. Oversized composite brake discs help to ensure short stopping distances even during high-speed driving. Mercedes-Benz was the first automaker to develop active-suspension technology for production cars, and the V-8 powered S63 AMG, is equipped with the resulting ABC active suspension, which reduces body roll in cornering, squat under acceleration, and dive during braking.
