The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is widely renowned as one of the finest luxury German sedans around, with a rich history stretching back to 1954. Owning an S-Class is a badge of pride, and driving or travelling in one is an experience. Whilst the S-Class experience is typically tailored towards back-seat passengers, there are some driver-focused variants as well, such as this 2016 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG S Sedan 4MATIC which has been lovingly massaged by in-house tuners AMG. With just 40,000 miles on the odometer, this car carried an MSRP of $147,875 when new.
The W222, or fifth-generation S-Class entered the world in 2014, and continued the design theme that had been set by the C-Class and E-Classes that were introduced just before it. This 2016 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG S Sedan 4MATIC wears a black (code 040) exterior, with black alloy wheels. The red AMG brake calipers add a splash of color to the black suit-and-shoes combo, and a quartet of silver AMG-branded exhaust tips peek out, hinting at the car’s performance potential, as do the discrete black lip spoiler on the trunk lid. The interior is the place to be on any luxury car, and this 2016 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG S Sedan 4MATIC, trimmed with Cashmere Beige Nappa Leather, as well as Burr Walnut wood trim and Black Dinamica headliner.

The S-Class nameplate is one with a long history of producing technologically advanced, full-size luxury sedans. However, for a few years between 2015 and 2021 it also came in the form of a coupe (named the C217 generation). It filled the role left empty by the retirement of the CL-Class and followed the same concept: pillarless luxury grand tourer. The S63 AMG version added the word ‘high performance’ to that description and shares the same drivetrain as its sedan counterpart. Mercedes packed the S coupe with the same industry-leading technology that the sedan got, but the market for a car of this caliber was quite niche, leading to its discontinuation after 2021 as it didn’t meet the production numbers that Mercedes wanted (leaving buyers with the option of getting an E-Class coupe or an SL now). While the relatively low sales were bad news for Mercedes, it means that current and future S-Class Coupe owners have a rarer car on their hands, potentially making it a sought-after future classic one day (especially the more desirable models like the S 63 AMG).
