OFFERINGS: MERCEDES ROLLS OUT THREE NEW MODELS AND UPDATES THREE EXISTING ONES
53 Series combines performance with sporting style and efficiency.
Mercedes-AMG is beefing up its local offering with the introduction of a host of new models and significant upgrades to current ones.
The performance badge is extending its product portfolio with the 53-series models of the CLS, E-Class Coupe and E-Class Cabriolet, while the C 63 S model range – Sedan, Coupe and Cabriolet – has been enhanced.
E 53 4MATIC Coupe ............................ R1 311 700 E 53 4MATIC Cabriolet ....................... R1 430 600 CLS 53 4MATIC ................................... R1 491 600 C 63 S Sedan ....................................... R1 546 600 C 63 S Couoe ....................................... R1 609 100 C 63 S Cabriolet .................................. R1 728 700 precisely measured torque distribution on the rear axle (Torque Vectoring), which increases agility while maintaining a high level of stability.
The new C 63 S has a more emotive look, too: the AMG-specific radiator trim underscores the brand identity while emphasising the muscular appearance. The interior benefits from an optional fully digital cockpit with unmistakable AMG displays and the new generation of AMG steering wheels.
The proven AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine puts out 375kW, while the maximum torque is 700Nm. Depending on body style, the C 63 S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The C 63 S Sedan and Coupe have a top speed of 290km/h and the C 63 S Cabriolet reaches 280 km/h (electronically limited in each case).
The typical V8 engine sound is another key element of the AMG driving experience. The C 63 S comes as standard with an AMG exhaust system with a variable flap.
