Mercedes has released official pics of its S65 AMG and S63 AMG models which will both be presented at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The S63 gets a complete mechanical renewal with a new engine in the form of a 5.5-litre V8 (M157), replacing the previous V8 6.2-litre with 525 hp.

The turbo-compressed engine has third generation direct injection and multi-spark ignition contributing to its new performance of 545 hp and 800 Nm, or 570 hp and 900 Nm on the AMG Performance version. The new performance also matches improvements in fuel consumption, with a reduction of 25 percent compared to the current model. According to the company, the new S 63 AMG consumes 10.5 litres of petrol per 100 km, and has CO2 emissions of 244 g/km.

The electronically limited top speed remains at 250 km/hr and acceleration to 100 km/hr is covered in just 4.5 seconds. The AMG Performance kit has sprint speed of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 300 km/hr. New features on both models include Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist, which is capable of automatically correcting the steering trajectory of the car. The S63 AMG will be available on the market by the end of September.

The new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe has been spied testing on route to Düsseldorf. The aesthetic changes are minimal, mostly in the rear, with no clear view of the front at the moment. According to reports, in the future, the “S63″ badge will give way to the “S-Class Coupe“, to avoid confusion.

We imagine that further elements will include some of the same features as the S63 sedan, including the larger front air intake on the AMG version and LED lights. The engine could be the same 6.2-litre V8 as the sedan, with 518 hp.

In technical details, the new S Class registers a three-percent reduction in fuel consumption and emissions compared to previous versions. It has 525 hp, 630 Nm and reaches 100 km/hr in 4.6 seconds.

Compared to the AMG S63, the S65 has a long wheel, but despite its heavier weight, the 612 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque help it reach 100 km/hr in 4.4 seconds. Other features include the debut of the Torque Vectoring Brake, capable of engaging the brake on the inside wheel for better cornering.
