2017 Mercedes-AMG S63 Cabriolet Review: Interstellar luxury

There’s more than one way to manifest as a master of the universe, but few show off your upper echelon status with more class and style than slipping behind the wheel of the 2017Mercedes-AMG S63 cabriolet. Truly, this is the chariot of those who are tired of the ostentatious display brought on by drop-top Ferraris, Bentleys, and Lamborghinis, a megabuck mirage that steals its way to the front of the valet line without drawing daggers from the 99 percent at every stoplight.

That’s not to say that the Mercedes-AMG S63 cabriolet goes unnoticed. Far from it – it’s hard to miss a full-size topless cruiser like this one, particularly when it sports Swarovski crystals in the headlights like the model I drove for a week. Rather, it’s a different kind of attention than what one would receive in a more nouveau riche carriage. The clean, imposing lines of the Silver Star-wearing convertible communicate a silent social contract between the driver and passersby: this car might cost as much as your house, but we don’t have to talk about it – and I’m certainly not going to drop the keys on the table the next time we meet up for dinner.
