    2018 Mercedes-AMG S63 & S65 Coupe & Cabrio Get Refreshed

    Joining their less angry siblings, the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models in Frankfurt, will be the updated S63 Coupe and Cabriolet and the S65 Coupe and Cabriolet.

    The most important change among the lot is the fact that the S63 variants will ditch the 5.5-litre biturbo V8 for their latest 4.0-litre biturbo V8 packing 603 horses.

    This new engine is mated to the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission and a variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ transmission, allowing the new S63 Coupe and Cabriolet to reach 100 km/h in a blistering 3.5 seconds. Top speed of both models sits at a limited 300 km/h.

    Since the S63 will now feature the new power plant, you will also get AMG Cylinder Management cylinder deactivation system which deactivates cylinders two, three, five and eight when they are not needed. Not sure this system would ever come in to use while I was behind the wheel.

    The S65 Coupe and Cabriolet retains the twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 delivering the same 621 horsepower allowing the rear-wheel driven yacht to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 4.1 seconds.

    Visual changes come in the form of the new Panamerica grille which was first used on the AMG GT R. OLED taillights are standard for both models and you are also offered some stylish new wheels.

    Considering how large both models are, top notch braking systems are a must. Which means they both getย composite brake discs measuring 15.4-inch at the front with 6-piston aluminium calipers and 14.2-inch at the rear with single-piston calipers.

    I did not think these AMG models could get any sexier but they have pulled it off! Cannot wait to drive the refreshed S63!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
