When it comes to luxurious convertibles, Mercedes-Benz has always had the market cornered. But, with the announcement that from 2021 Mercedes-Benz will be dropping the next-generation S-Class Coupe and Convertible from their US line-up, this S-Class Convertible could well be one of the last examples of such luxury, poise, and power available to discerning customers in a drop-top body-style. What makes this 2017 Mercedes-AMG S63 4Matic more special is that it’s an “Edition 130” limited release trim which was created to commemorate 130 years of the internal combustion engine. As such it features a unique interior combination and subtle Edition 130 badging.

Exterior and Interior

The interior combination of red and black leather is complemented by piano black dashboard trim with carbon fiber — an interior option unique to the Edition 130 version of the Mercedes-AMG S63 Cabriolet. You’ll also find Edition 130 insignias dotted around the cabin. The Mercedes-AMG S63 Cabriolet leaves little to be desired, with a host of interior adornments, including a warm “air-scarf” to keep you comfortable during colder drives with the top down. You also get front, rear, and side cameras with infrared night vision, and a deployable front and rear wind deflector. Also included is a heads-up display and pedestrian alert automated emergency braking.

Engine

The AMG-developed engine on the S63 is a 5.5-liter V8 with two turbos which outputs 585hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. It sends power to all four wheels thanks to the inclusion of 4Matic on this top-of-the-line S63 edition of the S-Class Coupe. Despite the incredible 5000-pound heft of the Mercedes-AMG S63 4Matic Edition 130, it achieves the 0-60mph sprint in a shockingly brisk 3.7 seconds.
