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. As you’d expect, it’s packed with the latest technology, including multi-zone climate control, electrically adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, touchscreen MBUX enabled infotainment system, Burmester surround sound system, wood and leather steering wheel, AMG floor mats, AMG sill plates and surround view camera package.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG S Sedan 4MATIC packs the automaker’s M157 BiTurbo V8 which displaces 5.5L and puts out 577hp and 664lb-ft to all four wheels via the 7-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission and Mercedes-Benz’ 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. The suspension is Mercedes-Benz’ AIRMATIC air suspension system active damping, whilst braking is taken care of by large, ventilated disc brakes on all wheels. Being the 4MATIC variant, the zero to sixty is accomplished in just 4 seconds flat, and top speed electronically limited at 155mph, although it can be raised to 186mph via an optional package.

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).
The most popular mainstream luxury car in the world, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class represents an aspirational point and a life goal for many. It’s a full-size luxury car that you treat yourself to, when you can afford one and have made it in life. The S-Class name came in 1972, but the model itself has parentage dating back to 1954. Of course, you’ll also find performance-oriented examples fettled by none other than AMG, those famous Mercedes-Benz tuners who are now a part of the parent company – in fact, they’ve got a line-up of Mercedes-AMG models available. Today, we’ve got a potent 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG from W221 era or fifth generation of S-Class. This car comes from Bonita Springs, Florida and has amassed around 110,000 miles, ready for action.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the pinnacle full-size offering by Mercedes-Benz. Widely recognized as the finest mainstream luxury car in the world, ownership of an S-Class is a bucket list item for many people to aspire towards. The S-Class continues to represent the benchmark in luxury that many automakers strive to compare themselves to and has been a technological tour de force throughout the years as well. Many innovations that we take for granted today, even in basic econoboxes, likely debuted on an S-Class a few decades back. Oh, and if you’re a performance fan, there are AMG variants to enjoy. Take this 2017 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG as a perfect example. This 90,000-mile car is waiting for a new owner to thrill, with its Stage 2 tune making it even more potent than when it left AMG’s stables. The car comes to you with all maintenance up to date, so you can enjoy it sans worries.
Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
