  • Carlos Lago tests and reviews the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe. We weren't sure what to make of this compact luxury SUV until we went to our test track. Once we got to the acceleration strip, we found that the length of this vehicle's name is equally absurd as its straight-line speed. In this video, Carlos explains why the GLC 63 S AMG is so quick, demonstrates what its acceleration looks and feels like, and compares its results to traditional sports cars.
    Q: What kind of engine and transmission does the Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe have?
    A: The Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that makes 503 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard.
    Q: How much does the Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe cost?
    A: Our 2018 test car starts at $81,745. It has a few options, including carbon-ceramic brakes, 21-inch forged wheels, and a performance exhaust system, that bring the as-tested price to $105,610.
    Q: How fast is the Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe?
    A: During testing, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe reached 60 mph in 3.5 seconds (3.3 seconds with a 1-foot rollout, as on a drag strip) and clocked a quarter-mile time of 11.7 seconds at 115.6 mph.
    Q: What are the Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG Coupe's main competitors?
    A: The GLC 63 S AMG is unique in that it is the only compact luxury SUV to offer a V8 engine, and a powerful one at that. The Porsche Macan Turbo comes closest in terms of output, offering up to 440 horsepower from its twin-turbo V6. The BMW X4 has the same sloping rear roofline as the GLC Coupe, and it will soon be available in a high-performance variant called the X4M.

      If you are going by the cars you tested then the Signature X P90DL you guys had was an “L" , I just went back to your website and watched a video of someone pressing the Ludicrous button which gives it a 2.9 0-60 time, roll out or not, it’s much quicker than that GLC you say is quicker. Don’t line that 63 up next to your old Test car because the AMG doesn’t hold a chance off the line.

      This SUV is fast but just listen to what 'The Car Pro Jerry Reynolds' says about it. He says that it goes from 0 - 60 mph in 3.3 seconds (which seems correct) but then goes onto to say it goes from 0 - 100 mph in 3.8 seconds (57 second - 1+ min. mark on his video/link below). The 3.8 second 0 - 100 mph claim would make this Benz faster than a McLaren 720s, La Ferrari, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari 488 Pista, & Lamborghini Huracan Performante up to 100 mph. Yeah right! LOL Car & Driver only manged a 0 - 100 time of 8.1 seconds for this SUV.
      Car Pro review ua-cam.com/video/RLG11o1YUaA/v-deo.html SMH about the 0 - 100 claim.

      it’s a clear wrap. You can see it clearly when you look at the front emblem, they trimmed it around it. They know the car will be sand blasted on the track and those cars later go to auction as program cars. They can sell it as it is with the wrap or remove it and it’s like new underneath.
