When Mercedes
works on a new generation for one of their models, we can all rest
assured that the AMG version to match will follow right behind it. Such
is the case with the next-generation S-Class, as the sedan variant was just revealed days ago.
Our spy photographers have caught the future S-Class AMG during a testing session at the Nürburgring
racetrack, wearing the same light camouflage as the normal non-AMG
cars. As you can see, when compared to the standard S-Class, the AMG
version has received bigger air intakes, marked side sills and a new
rear bumper with a covered up diffuser. This prototype is still missing
the quad tailpipes; but don’t worry, they will undoubtedly show up on
the production version S-Class AMG.
The future
Mercedes S-Class AMG will be powered by an AMG twin turbo 5.5-liter V-8
engine that will deliver between 536 and 550 horsepower.
Expect to see the new generation Mercedes S-Class AMG launched sometime in 2013.

Now that we have seen the official images of the new S-Class, is time
to imagine what the AMG version will look like. Today, we have created a
rendering for you that may help you imagine what the next S63 AMG may
look like.
Updated 07/08/2013: What appears to
be the first official images of the next S63 AMG sports sedan have
surfaced online and they come with some great news. It looks like the
next S-Class AMG model will be offered with an optional 4MATIC system
that will increase the V-8’s output to a total of 585 horsepower.
