The numbers say it all.

Note, it is odd that a US car magazine included the AMG GT63s in the comparison given that the car is no longer sold in the US.

Technically the M5 CS is no longer sold any more either. Lol. Random note and pure coincidence I just passed a GT63S on the interstate like 10 mins ago.

Agreed, but at least the CS was a 2022 model. There were no GT63s after 2021 in the US. In theory, one might still find a CS at some dealer (Autotrader says there are 3 or 4 new still out there). Very little chance of finding a new, leftover 2021 GT63s.

Regardless, given the objective and subjective review and the price differential, it is unlikely that there would too much demand for the GT63s ;-).

Shouldn't it be the E63s?

Yes, but (a) most reviews say the E63s had trouble keeping up with the M5 Comp, so it would compare even less favorably to the CS, and (b) again, technically a moot point since the E63s has also not been available in the US for over a year ;-).

V8 C63 Coupe/Cab, E63S Sedan/Wagon, and GT63S are back and order-able for MY23 but in very limited numbers. I think they may be cashing in on EQS credits.

Also the M5CS is not exactly readily available for purchase either…

Not true, go on Cars.com right now and there are plenty to purchase.

Not sure I would classify 22 units (of which only 1 is new) exactly as highly available, at least in comparison to the BW and GT63 which can be ordered still. This is a limited production vehicle afterall, only 1,000 globally were made, not sure how many made it to the US but probably not much (Canada only got 25). Only reason 22 are probably available at the moment is because everyone is now just buying cars to flip in the current market rather than keeping them and enjoying them.
