The C Class saloons sketch luxury in enduring strength to exist enough to spoil those who have taste. Body styling creates dramatic impression. C-Class was developed under challenging ties that joined hands of Mercedes- Benz and AMG. Front side of C 63 AMG saloon hence bears signature of both the partners speaking of luxury and power bonded together. Centrally positioned star of Merc is joined with two chromed louvers of AMG. Chrome-set anti-fog lights and side air vents pronounce AMG’s athletic air. Typical spanned out wings with tinted headlights look over possessive on front side.

Back end represents AMG more conspicuously with three fins; AMG sports exhaust system of a double set of exhaust pipes with chrome finish and LED tail lights. AMG is further visible with AMG’s five spoke light alloy wheel base with high gloss polish in Titanium-grey shade. AMG lettering is present on front wings and side skirts. C63 AMG is powered with AMG 6,208cc V8 engine having tremendous powers. Acceleration of this car jumps from 0 to 62 mph merely in 4.5 seconds with engine’s rated peak output of 457 hp. Extra feature this engine brags of are rapid revving with natural aspiration. There is spontaneous feel of this character at any speed. Braking system is high fade resistant and high performing. Front brake is provided with fixed 6- piston calipers and the rear brake with fixed 4- piston calipers. Deceleration of this car is characteristically striking; smart ceasing of wheel movement is aided by internally ventilated perforated brake disc.

Established distance traveling eases provided by brand Merc is distinctly translated into this saloon. Running comfort of this car is categorically supported with AMG Sports suspension, which makes a perfect match with engine powers. Advancements done are better axel designs, tighter spring and dampers arrangement, and larger torsion bar stabiliser as prominent ones. Structurally, this saloon is more stable due to wider three-link front axel. This offers better body dynamics besides stability and feel of close coherence with road. Junction points of wheels and axel are doubly strengthened with perfect conformity at junction with steering Effective outcome achieved is spontaneous braking response. At rear end, multi link axel track is also widened.

Drivers of AMG C 63 have option to select any of three stage gear shift modes namely, ESP ON, ESP SPORT and ESP OFF. These modes stand for Comfort, Sport and Manual modes of gear shifting. This three-stage ESP system is specifically set up for C63 AMG saloon. Gear is seven speed auto transmission type, which is very common feature in Merc cars. Manual mode of gear shifting, that is M mode, is 50% more responsive as compared to C mode. This mode goes for ultra-fast gear changing and is comfortable for drivers. S mode is programmed for sporty driving, and responds fast in shifting gear. C mode, as implies with its meaning comfort, involves need of much less gear changing. Additionally, transmission specifics character of this saloon is automatic revving of engine when making downward running on slopes.

Hi, now most of you that know me will be familiar with my internet business mentoring and marketing training systems, However you may not be quite so familiar with my passion for fast cars!

I have been fortunate over the years to have had access to some of the best cars that money can buy and have driven thousands of miles around the UK and Europe. I thought that I may as well share my experiences of some of my cars and give you a “warts and all” review. The vehicles that I will be reviewing over the coming weeks are:

Mercedes SL500

Mercedes SLK350

Porsche 928SE (classic)

VW Toureg
Lets start with the SL500.

The Mercedes-Benz SL500 is still regarded as one of the most aspirational cars currently available. The combination of the sharp coupe styling matched with the incredibly clever roof system make this car one of, if not THE, most attractive cars of all time. The cabin gives an air of quality and the plastics in the dash all feel to be well manufactured. The doors, like most two door cars, are very large and if you decide to pop down to the local supermarket for supplies you will have to be careful as to where you park, I lost count of the number of times that I parked, in what I considered to be a safe & out of the way place, only to return to my car to find that somebody had parked so close that I could not get in through the door! When the roof is up and you’re driving in coupe mode the luggage space is good, more than enough space for a couple of sets of golf clubs. However, with the roof down the boot size is reduced dramatically, The roof has to go somewhere!

The performance of the SL500 can only be described as “adequate” whilst the car is considered to be quick it’s quick in a boring uneventful way. Motorway cruising is a dream and if you’re fortunate to be driving along a German Autobahn you can quite happily cruise along at twice the UK speed limit. The car’s performance is more refined than I personally like and it does not take long before you are day dreaming about getting behind the wheel of something a bit more raw!

The Automatic gearbox, like most Mercedes, is smooth and efficient. If you try to use the box in manual mode with the dodgy little buttons come paddles on the back of the steering wheel you will probably find the changes a tad slow and the driving experience will not be at all enhanced!.

The suspension is good and soaks up all but the largest pot holes. There is a button to adjust your ride height so that speed humps are not an issue. The Steering is fairly precise for a car of this size but once again I find myself looking for a quicker response. The steering is “safe” rather than exciting.

Verdict
The SL500 is an excellent all round car. It’s comfortable, lively(ish) and useable on a daily basis. If I were to have to recommend a model I would say that if the performance is not an issue then go for the SL350. If however you are looking for something more exciting and you have deep pockets then opt for the AMG, you will not be disappointed.
