2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe | New York Auto Show

There are few men who exemplify cool, calm masculinity pared with effortless style and panache than Jon Hamm’s character on Mad Men, Don Draper. It’s not surprising, then, that Mercedes-Benz asked Mr. Hamm to help them unveil the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe at the New York Auto Show.

If you’re not familiar with this sensuous new coupe, it’s the AMG-tuned version of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe, which debuted earlier this year. Slated to replace the now-ancient CL-Class, the new S-Class Coupe is designed for men who want a stately sedan … without four doors.

The S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe, however, is designed for men with style and an appreciate for unbridled brawn without wanting to shout about it. Accordingly, behind AMG’s “twin-blade” radiator grille lies a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that makes 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sport transmission, which routes power to all four wheels through the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. All told, the Teutonic S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe is good for a 0 to 60 of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

It’s not just the power that intoxicates but also the interior. Although we just got a quick glance at on the show floor in New York, it easily topped our list for its high-quality materials, simple yet elegant design and use of high-tech features, including two 12.3-inch TFT screens in the dash, three-spoke AMG steering wheel, and Nappa leather.

If you’d like to know what it’s like to drive, you’ll have to wait until we get behind the wheel later this year. Until then, watch our first look video below.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
