Mercedes SL63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 09 May 2012 10:44

After a few years on the naturally-aspirated temperance wagon, the AMG-fettled SL V8 is back on the boost, with a downsized twin-turbo engine and all-new aluminium clothes. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive review of the new 2012 Merc SL63 AMG. So the orginal SL55 was powered by a supercharged 5.5, and the outgoing SL63 by a naturally aspirated ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (on-road photography by Greg Pajo), 04 January 2012 07:00

This is the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series, a £100k rival for Porsche’s 911 GT3, Maserati’s MC Stradale and BMW’s M3 GTS. The C63 Black has a more powerful 6.2-litre V8, unique motorsport-inspired suspension, and that Black Series badge isn’t just applied to any old hot rod Merc; there have been just three prior Black Series models, with a ...

Mercedes E63 AMG Performance Package (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 08 July 2011 17:00

This is the new Mercedes E63 AMG, the hottest Mercedes E-class. It looks the same, but those 'V8 biturbo' badges on the front wings give the game away: the old naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 has given way to a new 5.5-litre V8 twin turbo. This makes the E63 the last AMG to get the 5.5 part way through its life ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 16 February 2011 09:59

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

Mercedes C63 DR520 Estate (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 13 August 2010 07:50

The Mercedes C63 AMG isn’t exactly a common sight on our roads, but if you’d like a little more exclusivity, how about this: the DR520. It’s based on the C63, but fettled at Mercedes-Benz’s Brooklands UK headquarters. Only 20 will be built in either saloon or estate spec, and we’re driving the estate. What are the changes that create the ...

Mercedes S400 Hybrid (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 11 May 2009 11:50

Mercedes always strives for its S-class to be at the technological cutting edge, so it must have been pretty miffed when Lexus beat it to market with its S-rivalling, hybrid-powered LS600h. This, then, is Mercedes’ riposte: the S400 Hybrid. Brilliant, an S-class hybrid! When do I get mine? Ah. Yes. Thing is, you won’t, not unless you steer from the ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2008): CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Christopher Hubbard, 18 June 2008 09:28

This is the top 'banana' – the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG with 507bhp and 465lb ft of torque. Mildly revised along with the rest of the CLS range, the CLS63 gets a new set of so-called silencers, and the same downshift-blipping auto-box as the AMG C-class. Is this enough to take the four-door uber-coupe from good to truly great? There’s only one ...

Mercedes SL63 AMG (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 09 March 2008 09:00

Mercedes’ SL gets a new face for 2008 but there’s far more to the SL63 AMG than simple cosmetic surgery. As the name suggests, the big Benz sports car finally adopts the naturally aspirated V8 that’s already available in other AMG cars, which means that the old supercharged ‘55’ V8 is no more. So what are the headline numbers for the ...

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 27 August 2007 09:57

So this is Merc’s answer to the new BMW M3... Got it. Hot C's have long been part of Mercedes' line-up, but none has had us quite as excited as this, the C63 which as the name suggests, gets the big 6.3-litre V8 from the car right at the top of Merc's range, the CL63. It’s worth pointing out that ...

Mercedes S63 AMG CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 10 October 2006 09:43

Hang on a tick – didn’t you drive this last week? No, that was the CL63, the coupe version of the S-class driven here. But I can understand your confusion. Mercedes has just taken the wraps off two of its mighty AMG cars in quick succession. Both big, bold, brisk and terrifically composed. The S63, which arrives here next March ...
