Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG ‘marks start of a new era’
July 30th, 2010The new Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG marks the start of a new chapter in the "AMG Performance 2015" drive strategy, the manufacturer has claimed.
Mercedes-Benz AMG is meeting its promise to continuously reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of new models with the engine/transmission combination.
According to the German carmaker, the S 63 AMG model meets new heights with the central AMG brand value of "performance".
Ola Kallenius, head of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, commented: "For the first time, we have combined spray-guided direct petrol injection with biturbocharging and the start/stop system.
"Together with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, we have reduced both fuel consumption and emissions significantly - while at the same time increasing output and torque."
The manufacturer explained that over the coming year, the new AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine will play a significant role in the Mercedes-AMG model strategy.
Indeed, the new engine/transmission combination marks a milestone in the history of Mercedes-AMG, which dates back to 1967.
