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

By

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.

The best shows on Paramount Plus to binge in May
Stream these incredible shows on Paramount Plus
Penny Dreadful scene

Having a vast library of good television shows and films is the most important factor in the success of a streaming service. That's part of what transformed Netflix into a global phenomenon, and it's why services like Paramount Plus have worked hard to build a healthy library of series that subscribers can browse through. As is the case with all streaming services, Paramount Plus has a mix of original series that live only on the platform and older shows that were originally on broadcast and have now found a home on streaming.
Although these shows have varied histories, each one of them is a great staple in Paramount Plus's overall streaming library. Paramount Plus will likely continue to develop original content, but these Paramount Plus shows will stand the test of time, whether they're ongoing or have been over for a decade or longer.

These are the best movies to watch on Peacock in May
Peacock is a TV service, but it also has a great catalog of movies to stream, too

A fun bit of historic TV trivia is that the original NBC peacock logo was first implemented in 1956 to highlight the network's new color programming. Even though the logo has gone through numerous iterations since then, the network has stuck with the colorful bird, in one form or another, for going on six decades now. It’s fitting, then, that Peacock is known most for its TV programming, highlighted by shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, and the self-mocking (and hilarious) 30 Rock. If you are on Peacock for the shows, however, don't overlook that the platform is also home to a number of great movies spanning cinema history, including everything from great comedy to excellent sports movies.

Peacock streaming offers both free (registered) and paid accounts. As a result, some Peacock movies are available without a paid subscription, and others only for subscribers. This roundup culls titles from both groups. To be sure you can access all of these classics, you'll have to fork over a subscription fee. Happy streaming and keep reading to find the best movies on Peacock right now.
