Does adding complex suspension and more torque than a Ramerado 2500 elevate the 2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 E-Performance to new heights of luxury and performance, or is it too much?

@@moonrider99The body is much stiffer than the S 580 version and the battery is behind the rear axle instead of mounted to the transmission at the front like on most hybrids, so it performs well enough for an S class AMG.

Yea if you're braindead and don't care of your cars. If you do, and maintain it properly as the manufacturer recommends, you'll have a car that will be like new in 30 years from now.
The remarks such as "buying the real estate between the lights" and "are you repo-ing yachts with this thing" elevate this channel from a technical review masterpiece to borderline Jeremy Clarkson levels of funny.

I am interested in what the markets look like on these and the new C63 in 8 - 10 years...I imagine depreciation will be even worse than prior gens.

This is a great car to own out of warranty.

Great review as always. As an MB nerd this car is both fascinating and terrifying. This much complexity will no doubt be a maintenance nightmare out of warranty, but I’m sure this thing is a blast. For those of us that are nowhere near the intended tax bracket of S63 buyers, could we please get a review of the new 4 cylinder C43 soon Zack??

Long time viewer and podcast listener - I think this video is a perfect example of doing ENOUGH. Not doing TOO much, or spending too much time/effort and not getting the return. This isn't a movie quality stuff here, and that's okay! This video is SO well done. It gets the information across in a way that's easy to digest, it's entertaining, and it's not 45 minutes long. Nice job including the press footage in the edit too. It adds a much needed variety to the video. Use this video as a case study! Assuming ZK enjoyed this formula from start to finish, repeat it!
Top line: "the people who own these buy the real estate between the lights" lmfao
As the owner of a 07 S63 that thing is nuts, I bought my S63 about 2yrs ago & yes it has had some issues, but on the open road it's f..king glorious, thanks for the video, Rj in Oz

Wow, thanks!
I have had a 2019 S63 for a few years now and love the car. They are actually pretty easy to work on for things like brakes and oil changes. The 4.0 in mine has been bulletproof and I have not really had too many issues with the car. I purchased a 2019 because I actually like the W222 looks much better, plus it is probably the last true V8 S Class we will ever see, plus I only paid around 110K for a 1 year old example with 9K miles on it. I would bet this one as demoed is close to 200K if not more.
This really shows that there are legacy automakers that have the capabilities to build such complicated cars. In the world of electric cars some could say that this is almost unnecessary but imagine what we haven’t seen yet from people like these! That’s proper engineering!
The videos recently have been absolute benchmark stuff. Really first class. Beautifully presented, shot and edited. Oh, and those Globes are badass! 😎 👍🏻
This is the most comprehensive review of the S class I've seen so far. Awesome job!
Excellent review Zach. You just keep getting better and better keep up the awesome work
"are you repoing yachts" LOL
This review is so good and so complete that im even going to go and buy a Mova Globe right now 🤟
IMO screens like those in cars are cheap looking.
Best review from Zach so far and what an incredible piece I loved it
Very nice one Zack ,the quality has been amazing lately
Great vid Zack. Killing it
Zack - excellent review!!!! with an excellent car which only few people will buy - the hyper - lux - sport - sedan market is limited.
Been waiting for this one after the podcast teaser! Nice job as usual!
Too* on the screens yeah. This is one of those beat the pavement into submission sedans
Zacks really improved in his commentsry. This was great!
How long do the tires last? 😅
Top review, I do like solo Klapman reviews for most cars
For real those globes look sick!
nice editing and production values...hope the effort gets the views
What a car! Phenomenal review Zack
Great review Zac
None of those EVs have the sound this does and for most the choice is much simpler because of that V8 noise. Never thought I would say this however HP isn't everything! Awesome Review Zack
Being passenger in the regular s63 is insane, i could only imagine what this feels like. Also, silent prayer for the 3rd+ owner of this car off warranty.
This is both an enginnering marvel and a technological time-bomb, all those screens and computers will not age well. With that said: Excellent stuff, Zack!
Nice video. Kept me engaged the entire video.
what happens if you get into a rear fender bender? would the battery get damage/how long would take to repair?
Spot on writing and editing.
Very well done Zach

Oh boy, where do you start!❤😂
"Owners of this car don't drag race between light to light, they buy the real state from light to light"....that hit hard
10:06 I think this will be what distinguishes an AMG EV/hybrid rom the others.
"owners of this car dont drag race this car from light to light, they buy their real estate from light to light"😭🔥🔥🔥
Lovely car, the V8 sounds great 👍
OMG I'VE WANTED THAT GLOBE SINCE I SAW IT LAST TIME
Really not feeling the grille. Don’t mind the vertical slats too much (still prefer the horizontal) but an S-Class isn’t an S-Class without the emblem on the hood. I get the marketing approach with the Mercedes sub-brands but it just doesn’t seem fitting for this car. It also looks like an after thought. Great review!
$190K base buys a Blackwing/M5/E63 plus lots of options for a weekend driver. I get its about image but seems like this car does nothing great. Too heavy/big to be a driver's car. Too stiff to be a limo. Looks spectacular though.
This guy looks exactly like Joey Barton. Its true everyone has a duplicate somewhere in this world
I absolutely need it.
God damn Zach, you are a fantastic writer.
My question: What if u never plug it in? Will it still run? And what is the demerits of doing that? Will it just eventually turn into a regular S 580 carrying/dragging 1000 extra pounds ! Please clarify…🚗 r getting really complicated …. I wonder what long term service or a major wreck costs would be 😂😢
I've been subscribed for 10 years
So which is better, the 2024 Bi-turbo V8 or the S65 V12 bi-turbo?
My new goal in life is to buy a boat and name it “Unceasing Thrust”. Love the video
Nice job Zac, Nice job! Wouldn’t want to run one out of warranty! But I guess those who can afford one aren’t keeping a car around for more than a couple of year anyway… I’m sadly interested in it’s economy - i.e. best of both worlds, stonking V8 with reasonable around town economy?
is the s580 quieter inside?
“Owners of this car don’t drag race from light to light; they buy the real estate between the lights.” Mic drop!
Everything is perfect except for the front grille. I prefer the horizontal grille that's specific to the S63 on the W222 and W221. The vertical style grille makes it appear as an E-class sedan until you take a closer look.
My m157 s63 is a beast but that right there makes me wanna upgrade 😭😭
I can't think of a more disposable flagship sedan...LOL
I really like the design language of the new C and S class. Beautiful sedans especially in AMG version. This s63 is really good in the other aspects too, shame the same cant be said about the c63.
Must just be the camera lens but that steering wheel looks thicc.
Incredible time we live in. However, how are they ever going to lower the cylinder number and give in more power? This is shooting in AMG's future foot!
Never liking this design but the side profile at 0:40 is actually good.
This thing should go fantastic off road
I can’t wait for the wagon version
This is how the channel should start doing videos. Give some love to the interior like this video.
So it looks like an A class with some bits, weighs nearly 6000lbs, and it'll be used by the wives of rich folks to drive to starbucks every day. Oh and it'll explode after the warranty is up thanks to all that tech. Sounds like modernity in a nutshell. Excellent video as always though TST!

Zack, I just want you to know that the only thing that stiffens my unibody is you.
Could this make a full lap at full power. Maybe a good car to run time attack. Strip it down like a few have done with tesla and install slicks and aero. Might be really good for a hot lap or two. Also the whole idea of I've made cause I have s class is silly. You don't have to be rich to buy expensive cars you can't afford. Lots of people do it. Where I live there are tons of guys with lifted 100k trucks making 35k a year lol
Shame you didn’t say that it has a boot space of Toyota Yaris. I am driving this car right now and TBH it makes no sense :(. Driven C63S recently with 4 pot engine as well and I am starting to worry about AMG in general.
S Klass the best class
The minute Mercedes reduced the trunk space to convert the car to be an BEV, they lost the plot.
