REVIEW

If you’re in the market for a high performance large coupe for around £120,000, your choices have been limited to Bentley with their Continental GT or Aston Martin with their DB9. Well now Mercedes has entered back into the fight with the AMG version of the new S-Class Coupe - the S63 AMG Coupe. Featuring the tried and tested twin turbo 5.5 litre V8 seen in most other big AMG models, in the S63 it puts out 577 bhp and an incredible 663 lb/ft of torque, which means that when this thing accelerates the earth’s rotation slows a little… With some amazing kit such as tilting through corners, GPS linked suspension and a gearbox that prepares the car for the road ahead and a cabin that would shame the big British rivals, there can be no better vehicle to blast down to Monaco in. ** Cash alternative: 80% of the ex-VAT UK RRP **
