2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG S Model First Drive
Your browser, , is out of date and not supported by www.motortrend.com. It may not display all features of our site properly and could have potential security flaws. Please update your browser to the most upated version. Update Now The moment I crested 200 kilometers per hour, I realized how ridiculous the new S63 AMG is. (That's about 125 of our superior miles per hour.) I was on a rain-slicked section of unrestricted autobahn near Munich, though for all the car cared I may as well have been parked at the beach. Minutes earlier I'd set my seat massage to program number 2 (I believe that one's called either Hot and Dirty, or Quick and Shameful). While the hot stone massage is a very welcome luxury, I am totally averse to heat in all forms. So I turned on my seat AC to cancel out the sizzling stones. Yes, you can run hot and cold at the same time -- like a mixed water tap. The S63's cabin perfumer was emitting some sort of citrus scent, and just for giggles I'd activated the cabin air ionizer. Next on my agenda was selecting the perfect ambient interior lighting. The blue was too "Fast and Furious" for Bavaria, while the pink was too Virgin America for me. Tangerine -- why yes of course, tangerine. Not only do I like that color, but it matched the cabin perfume. But here's the real reason why the S63 turned ridiculous: Above 200 km/h the DTR+ Steering stops working. DTR+ Steering is Mercedes-ese for the semiautonomous driving mode that uses built-in stereo cameras to keep the big limousine centered between the lines. Suddenly, as the cruise control took us beyond the metric double-ton, I had to start paying attention to the actual act of driving. Ridiculous, right? ![2014 Mercedes Benz S63 AMG S Model Front Three Quarteres 03]()

Official: Volvo confirms unnamed US model reveal for NY show
VOLVO V60 PLUG-IN HYBRID STARS IN NEW YORK AS ONE OF THREE CANDIDATES FOR THE WORLD GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR
The world's first diesel plug-in hybrid - the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid - will make its American display debut and take centre stage at the New York International Auto Show. The plug-in hybrid is one of three remaining candidates for the prestigious 2013 World Green Car of the Year award.
The winning environmental car, which is selected by 66 top motoring journalists from 23 countries around the world, will be announced at the New York International Auto Show on 28 March.
The Volvo Car Group press conference in the Jacob Javits Center at 10:30 AM on 28 March will also include the world premiere of Volvo's latest R-Design models as well as the announcement of a new and exciting addition to the North American Volvo model line-up.
The Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid in detail
The groundbreaking V60 Plug-in Hybrid is the world's first diesel plug-in hybrid. It includes two complete drive trains and a powerful battery. The driver can select the preferred driving mode via three buttons that give the car three entirely different temperaments: Pure, Hybrid or Power.
"The ingenious on-demand possibility makes the V60 Plug-in Hybrid superior to all other hybrids on the market. Thanks to the Pure, Hybrid and Power modes, the car is the perfect choice for the uncompromising customer who wants to minimise his or her carbon dioxide emissions but maximise driving pleasure," says Doug Speck, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Car Group.
Pushing the Pure button gives the driver up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) on pure electric power.
In Hybrid mode, the carbon dioxide emissions are 48 g/km. This corresponds to fuel consumption of just 1.8 l/100 km (NEDC certification driving cycle for hybrids), translating into 130 mpg.
The Power mode releases the combined capacity of the diesel engine and electric motor, creating a veritable driving machine with a total power output of 215+70 horsepower and maximum torque of 440+200 Nm. The electric motor's lightning-quick torque delivery contributes to the car's acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
Successful introduction
The outstanding properties of the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid have been confirmed by several achievements since the car was introduced in 2012. The first year's batch of model year 2013 cars was sold out even before the car reached the showrooms.
In 2012, the new Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid achieved the highest ever Euro NCAP score for an electrified car. The five stars in the test, which included a frontal offset collision at 64 km/h (40 mph), demonstrate that the V60 Plug-in Hybrid has the same high safety standards as a conventionally powered V60.
"Over 50 per cent of the Plug-in Hybrid buyers are conquests from competitor brands. The access to two drive trains and three driving modes makes it the perfect choice for consumers who want green motoring without compromises," says Doug Speck. "The success of the plug-in hybrid is probably the most powerful signal of the revitalisation of the Volvo brand since we began our independent journey in 2010."
The Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid is the synthesis of close cooperation between Volvo Car Group and Swedish electricity supplier Vattenfall. The two companies have financed the development project jointly.
