If you think this is a standstill race and Car Manufacturers just sit and ponder the next move your sadly mistaken. Matter fact the autowars will probably go on until Nibiru and Planet X hit us and poor Germany aka Jerry as the English call it has a target set straight to them as the current leaders. What started this trend was the release of the S-Class the new interior and class-leading styling put it a cut above its counterparts but this was like for the 3rd time in a row one could argue. This owning of luxury sales this time around because of the risk Mercedes took trickled down into the entire range of vehicles the E-Class, C-Class and as we will soon see to the SUV's and CUV's. The CLS spy shots look inspiring but could Mercedes just continue to bask in the S-Class dominance ... no no no ..this is war...
These are the things that Mercedes Benz has in store for us and the update cars that will continue to make Benz relevant and my focus, of course, the sports models the AMG line. It is important to note on where the AMG moniker came from. In two slight words it was race passion , 50+ years ago Daimer Benz was in the motorsport business when this discontinued two engineers Aufrecht and Melcher who lived in Grossaspache or on the project that was making a new engine for the 300 SE, well you know us engineers you stop us midstream after all the hard work and there is a fit thrown. So the engineers who lived in Grossapache made this a home project, and they called themselves AMG out of there first names and where they worked (Aufrecht Melcher Grossapache). During the following years after the engine was honed the two released the car to a race car driver who subsequently won the touring championship TEN TIMES...this my friends began the legacy and a passion for the two to bring the race to the road and where AMG was born, when a 4 door sedan in 1971 keeps up with sports cars you are on notice hence why AMG began.
S63 AMG S
Let's start with big daddy, how to make the beautiful more beautiful with a sportier fascia with larger vents and sculpted rear diffuser. The new S63 AMG S also benefits from the new technology including standard AMG ride control, speed sensitive steering, and host of AI technologies that previously were not available. The real game changer is the updated 9 speed tip tronic engine and the revised twin scroll 4.0L V8 that now takes the Benz 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with 186 mph top speed. That's right gorgeous big daddy will walk your Corvette.
Specs: 4.0 L Twin Scroll V8
0-60: 3.4 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.7 seconds
Top Speed limited: 186 mph
E63 AMG S
We highlighted the E-Class as the anchor and it certainly doesn't hold back in this iteration imagine the same engine with lighter weight and a suspension more tuned for driving dynamics I mean the big daddy already offers near .93g turning now you got this thing. What separates this car from the pack is it's unique driving modes that we hope will reach the CLS the AWD plus Rear Drive at a click of button is nothing to laugh about. Benz has sone a miracle here and with the design and coming out first the M5 better do more than what we have seen. To put things in perspective this car just lapped Willow run faster than the coupe slayer CTS V ... yes that right with more weight, more luxury, and a similar price tag. This is the car to continue to push the segment.
Specs: 4.0 L Twin Scroll V8
0-60: 3.3 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.3 seconds
Top Speed limited: 186 mph
Sex on wheels, well we have it the 2 door flame thrower strikes back at Porshe, speaks more burbles than the Jaguar F Type to make a formidable lineup super flous throughout the price range. I mean big bonnet, big engine, and sex appeal. Not much more needs to be said Benz took the cake with this model just look at it.....do you really need specifications for this ...
Specs: 4.0 L Twin Scroll V8
0-60: 3.5 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.1 seconds
Top Speed limited: 186 mph
C63AMG S
For us Average Joe's the C63, this is the camaro of Benz's. To me the profile fits into the medium to medium large spectrum and can be used by a variety of people. The price point, the same engine, and again the sexiness make it a noteworthy competitor the M4, RS5, and RC_F which all do something special on it's own. The amazing part of the car is the stance sitting low in this oval white this car makes history around a street near you, as I call it the car a commoner would have.
Specs: 4.0 L Twin Scroll V8
0-60: 3.9 seconds
1/4 mile: 12.1 seconds
Top Speed limited: 186 mph
GLC43 AMG
What do you think a V6 TT does 0-60 in a 4 door CUV, 4.3 seconds. Folks these are scary times don't line up this sleeper she will be off and gone have your GT350 trailing getting into second gear and this is not even the top model . I hate to say this but Merica needs to go AWD or the slaughter from a luxury perspective will continue. The one brand making a statement and making an attempt is the Hyundai/Genesis line and this maybe due to it's heavily german influenced design and driving dynamics. In a recent test it edged out the Macan Porshe and SQ5 Audi posting the top 0-60 and high level of grip.
Specs: 3.0L TT V6
0-60: 4.3 seconds
1/4 mile: 12.5 seconds
Top Speed limited: 173 mph
Upcoming models CLS, and new G Wagon with updated interior.
To not let Tesla sit Benz is also releasing an updated Electric line which will soon be at a dealership near you.
