Mercedes-AMG E53: Is It A Proper AMG? | Carfection + 

S63/s65 sales drop by 80%

HG504 truuu

Who would then buy the S Coupé? Looks basically the same (little bit bigger and crystal taillights) but way less expensive.

Verrückter Hodenkobold I think it's looks better and it's more luxurious

@@ProdigySpite yea exactly that is actually true they just about sold most of their 2019+ S - classes especially AMG models so

My thoughts as well. The 1st owner will not have treated it badly either. Happy hunting.

Peasants.

You might as well get a C63 Coupe for damn near the same amount of money plus it's a REAL AMG.

@@freddieredding4565 Shut the fuck up mate. This is a much better car than a c63

My GLC43 AMG with Eurocharge tune makes 486hp and 528 torque. 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and quarter in 11.6seconds. No need to V8. The SUV is super reliable and highway monster.

@@yunglosey5912 can you fuck off with your begs

Straight 6 engines are special now, somehow?

valgehiir nobody said that... however they’ve always been desirable for their smoothness and sound, and because nobody really makes them anymore outside of BMW, it does make them quite unique.

Matthew Pilbrow yeah I definitely agree

Dude, I couldn't agree more.

@@justinedzard this looks exactly like the c63 coupe and s63 coupe!!! If u took off the badges on them I guarentee people would just it was dif trim line of the same model

Yep, unless the are next to each other, it's nearly impossible to tell what model it is. I suppose thats the point, C class owner wont feel too bad, debadged, neighbors will never know if it is $140.000 S Coupe, or C200 Diesel, with AMG Optic option.

E class coupe is a beauty compared to non 63 C coupes. No b pillar with the windows down in summer is slick.

Because that cuts down on cost of building them. Welcome to the new age of building "luxury" cars.

Pointless now it’s old and BMW won’t give a press car

this is carfection, not carmediocrity

43 and 53 cost basically the same.

I dont think merc actually make an e63 coupe. Dont take my word for it though.. so to my knowledge this might actually be the most expensive e- class coupe.

Bradley Attard they don’t your correct

Not everyone wants a 600hp powered E class.Someone wants sporty E class,something just like E43...

A when you can't afford C..when you can't afford E etc etc.Its called a range of cars. Whats the point of pointing this out ???

More Money this way

C500??

@@YoungDen There is no C53...

Luke R I think he means the 43 and 53 respectively

It is all about a subform of Ohms law: P=V*I (P= Power in Watt, V=Voltage in Volt, I= Current in Ampere) For examle: 48V means that for the same power (Watt) you have less current (Ampere) than with 12V. Which can be used in two ways: you can either use cabeling with smaller cross section and smaller fuses for the same power, or you can transport more power than with a 12V system over the same cross section cabeling and fuses. (48V and 2 Amps make 96Watt, with 12V you need 8 amps for 96Watt; or if you have a 15 amp fuse and and cabeling, you can use 180W with a 12 V system, but 720W with a 48V System.) There is still a 12V System in such cars to run normal car stuff (as lots of auxiliary things are not yet common in 48V) The 48V system is (to my knowledge) mainly used for electrical turbos (e-supercharger), starter-generators and light systems. Especially the electrical turbos need power, and with 12V your cabeling, fuses, generator, battery ect. would be too big bulky and heavy, so the manufacturers didn't build them before they had working 48V systems.

The last AMG was the 2006 E55. Everything after that is a piss take. Mercedes is nowhere near what it used to be. They don't make w211 E55s or w210 e55s anymore. Not to mention the w123, w124, w126, w140. Mercedes, let alone AMG, once was, and never again.

John O RA i agree, i have drove one and its more like a s in audis range, bit of an allrounder but not as agressive as a rs model

The "500" moniker has Always stood vor V8s though.

@@daniel3257 63 used to mean 6.3 liter but that isn't the case now as well so 500 should be ok.

It’s a naming/marketing tactic. They want to sell more cars on back of AMG fandom. They couldn’t come up with what S5 is to a RS5 so AMG “lower number” naming system.

Well.. Look a few years back and you'll see that AMGs weren't always "hardcore" or whatever you mean is a real AMG

It is sad to see AMG badge becoming meaningless, after such illustrious history. Remember SL73? Now we have E klass AMG taxis.

@@valgehiir totally. 63 cars used to be head turners. So subtle, but it was special and unjustifiable unless you really loved driving. Now every mom looking for a SUV specs an AMG.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

They do. (At least in Europe you can configure an E53 Wagon on their websites.)

@@nirfz can you please smuggle one over to the USA for me :'(

@@johnyu88 i'll wrap one in bubble wrap and cardbord and label it as "urgently needed medical device", maybe that will work ;-) I never got why they don't sell certain things in the US. At least the cars they are selling are cheaper for US customers. (less taxes and mostly fully spect out)

You ordered AMG wannabe.

@@valgehiir yeahh exactly, like wanabee rich and then i throw for a car 140000$ cash like you buy your cheesburger

Nah, I don't like burgers, and I drive real AMG. Don't feel hurt, life isn't fair :)

@real rockrolla, you need to check pricing, before you lie your ass off here, GLE 53 sticker is $75.00, since you said you 'threw' $140.000 for it, did you buy two of them lol. Coincidentally, I paid 140.000 € for my SL55 AMG. Clown!

Wow that's kind of sad if you think about it. Paying for a Brand is kind of wasteful and pointless. What should matter is how the car works. Not sure why perception of the brand matters to you soo much. Car as a status symbol is already dieing thanks to irresponsible debt financing. It just seems like a trap.

The 4 cylinder in the upcoming C63 is going to have a lot more horsepower. Go test drive it when it comes out before you judge it.

Rabi & Maria i own a c63s, done a road trip on a e53 convertible recently, imho power and sound there is no replacement for the V8, but the eqboost+Inline 6 is definitely quick/loud enough for day to day use. Its also more planted due to AWD, but obviously less fun without tail happy tendency. Suspension wise, way softer and comfy, yet its still firm enough. Please note, it did not have amg sport bucket seats like my c63s, which in itself makes the car feel softer. Interior and lcd screens is a good upgrade as well for moderness of the car. Personally, id still stick to 63 just because its a dying breed. Anyway hope this helps.

Usually it's a cover for the radar/lidar and other sensors that all the fancy driving aids use, they need a flat surface to operate through i suppose. Jaguar I've noticed has been particularly bad at hiding them

To me it's future of AMG, the Heir apparent . Big Turbo Inline 6 and even bigger 20kwh battery powering somewhere around 200kw of electric motors. That realy needs to be done with cutting edge capacity dense batteries and compact motors. Problem is straight line Performance would be very very similar to their twin turbo V8.

@@Neojhun That's not really a bad thing, right? People still want the future toned downed AMG's to still be similar to their V8 predecessors.

@@HiddenWen It should be an option of both ideally. But can AMG even support both as a business? Also it's only toned down interms of exhaust sound, but that Inline 6 Turbo can still have a good howl. Performance wise it could easily be way more powerful.

@@Neojhun Yeah, inline 6's have their own unique sounds. Sadly, that powerful v8 grumble sitting in a C-class was what made AMG's so unique.

@@HiddenWen The current AMG Twin Turbo V8 is one of the few turbo V8 from the factory which sounds amazing. Adding that Turbo exhaust system is an obvious challenge to make it sound right. Seems like very few others can do it, closest thing is Audi RS7 but that is still softer airier.

No, not possible. But it's a very good 4-matic+ system; basicaly a RWD but FWD is helping perfectly.
