THIS is the NEW 2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 S! | FIRST DRIVE

This is the new, upgraded Mercedes-AMG C63 S and everything you could possibly want to know about it! From taking a look at all the body styles including Saloon, Estate, Cabriolet and Coupe, to a full in-depth walkaround to run over the changes. Then it's off for a road drive with the top down before returning to the race track to push it through its paces. With a new spark in its life, the C63 S is something to be reckoned with!

Venturing to the Bilster Berg resort in Germany, we're greeted by a line-up with all the different variations and configurations of the new C63 S. Having previously driven the pre-facelift version of the Saloon (also known as Limousine or Sedan), and with a later plan to drive the Coupe on track, I chose to give the Cabrio a good run out. The first thing is to take a proper look around and explain the things that are new on the facelift: the gearbox becoming the AMG 9G automatic, visual changes including the Panamericana front grille, wheels, and rear diffuser, interior features such as the digital cockpit dashboard and touch control steering wheel, as well as the reworkings to elements such as the AMG Ride Control and AMG Dynamics software.

Still powered by the 4.0l Biturbo V8 making 510hp, the C63 S has plenty of oomph, and a very appropriate soundtrack to go along with it. My choice of the Cabrio for the road drive very much fitting the weather and feel of the car. Upon departure from the circuit it quickly becomes apparent how the model comes to life as I can talk you through the driving modes and the roof mechanism on the convertible.

After returning back to the track, next up a few laps in the C63 S Coupe, chasing the AMG GT R driven by Maro Engel. Here it could be truly pushed but without disengaging the traction control at all, it was noticeably keen to interfere - this more demonstrates how entertaining the C63 S will be with its full rear wheel drive on other occasions

Lastly it's back to the paddock to have a more detailed run through of the interior in an Estate model, to demonstrate the various features and controls including the 9-stage TC settings.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Join me for a full look and test drive in the new 2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 S, to fully explore all the styles including Saloon, Estate, Coupe and Cabrio! Going fully inside out, let's discover all of the updates and feel of the car to drive. What do you think of it, particularly with the new Panamericana front grille?

Fair play Tim....I watched 2 more reviews before your's ''they were on earlier...'' But I must say your's was easily the best, most informative and the one to keep one watching...!Quality!!

[TheRafaBStudio]

Comprehensive and precise. It is pleasant to watch your presentations, Tim. Thanks for that and AMG, what to say about those monsters?

Always loved the C63! I think the facelift just made it even better. The V8 just sets it apart from Audi and BMW

Tim Iiked you review. I wasn’t too much a Mercedes fan but now I’m falling in love with the brand. I think I will be also a Mercedes fan as a BMW. Your review was very informative and detailed. Great. 👍🏻

A 42 minute video of Shmee with AMGs is my kind of video. Keep up the great work!

The C63 S Coupe is beautiful, perfect mid sized sports car.

As always, GREAT review. I have prev C63S cabriolet model. My biggest gripe is the Rough ride on Comfort setting. With more 5 drive settings to choose from, don't understand why it's so stiff, differentials bind on tight turns and car develops rattles from stiffness over time. This new model is no different, judging from the shudder of your cams. Pity they continue to get this wrong. Keep up the GREAT work!

Lovely sound that this V8 makes considering that is a turbo engine... Great job MB and, as always, great job Tim.

[DanielSadjadian]

Thanks for sharing
Fantastic interior!

If I have to say something that would be this screen not really integrated in the cockpit.
The new A class cockpit seems for integrated than that.

[Chris_Wald]

The exterior looks even more like the S cabriolet than before.
I like the buttons on the steering wheel.
