The Mercedes AMG S63 features Mercedes' Magic Body Control, which actively adjusts the suspension stiffness rate for better comfort.

The AMG S63 is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo engine delivering 585bhp and 900Nm Nm of torque through an AMG 7-speed SPEEDSHIFT gearbox to the rear wheels. At the moment, it's unconfirmed if Mercedes will also introduce the S63 AMG with a 4MATIC AWD system.

Like the recently launched AMG S63 Coupe, its 4-door derivative will also feature Mercedes' Magic Body Control, which uses two stereoscopic cameras at the front for detecting speed bumps and potholes, and  actively adjusts the air suspension stiffness rate for better comfort.

The AMG S63 limo features an exclusive AMG body kit, but keeps the aggression to a minimum, unlike other AMGs offered today. Characteristic features include larger air intakes, AMG composite brakes, lightweight forged alloy wheels and a quad exhaust system.
