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

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 first trailer for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ brings Marvel back to the streets
The trailer suggests the show will be as violent as ever
daredevil born again first trailer charlie cox in

Marvel's history of making TV has been mixed, to say the least. That's why the return of Daredevil, the star of the very first Marvel show, is such a welcome one. The first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again gives us everything we might want from a return to Charlie Cox's version of the character, including a confrontation with Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin.

As the trailer establishes, this version of Matt Murdock has given up his vigilante ways and decided to take on criminals using the law. Kingpin, meanwhile has ascended to the role of mayor of New York, and appears to be trying to go straight as well. As the many cutaways to fairly brutal fights suggest, though, it doesn't seem like either one of them is going to be able to keep their hands clean for long.

The ‘Severance’ creator says none of the fan theories have gotten it ‘exactly right’
The show is returning for its second season after almost three years off the air.

As fans prepare for the return of Severance, many are also revisiting the theories they first posited about the show back in 2022. While there's been plenty of speculation about what might be going on in the series, creator Dan Erickson says no one has totally nailed it...yet.

"I love all of them and some of them are kooky, but the show is kooky, so it makes sense," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I would not say that I've seen anybody get it totally right. We are trying to lay down the seeds of where it's ultimately going, and I do think that people notice that. 'They said this in episode 2, and so I bet that's going to pay off in this way,' and sometimes that lines up a little bit with what we're doing. But I don't think that I've seen anything where I'm like, 'Oh God, they got it. Time to leave the country and change my name.'"
