WHILE the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance is a hybrid sports car, it is the fastest model ever released. Introducing the latest two-door performance coupe from Mercedes-Benz, and it makes hybrid technology anything but boring.

Instead, the hybrid system contributes to the car’s performance. The hybrid nature can be seen in the term “E Performance” in the car’s name.

The heart of the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S is a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo unit, combined with an electric motor. The V8 engine alone generates 603hp, but its combination with the electric motor provides a total output of 805hp.

What’s even more intriguing is the combined torque of 1,420Nm! This easily delivers a 0-100km/h acceleration in just 2.7 seconds, making it the fastest AMG model ever produced.

The electric system in the GT63 S E Performance has a capacity of 6.1kWh and can be charged using a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system. The GT63 S can be driven in EV mode for a limited range, but its electric system remains focused on performance.

It is equipped with a 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox, delivering power to all wheels through the 4Matic+ system. In normal driving, the electric motor only sends power to the rear wheels, but when slip occurs, it can be shifted to the front.

The Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance also comes with a rear-axle steering system, AMG Active Ride Control suspension, 6-piston ceramic composite brakes, and 20-inch wheels as standard.

You can also choose 21-inch wheels. In terms of appearance, it’s difficult to differentiate the E Performance version from the regular AMG GT63.

There are special badges at the rear, as well as a charging port cover. Additionally, the aerodynamic package has been updated specifically for the hybrid powertrain.

The cockpit and cabin also receive the standard Mercedes-AMG treatment. The price has not yet been announced, and this fastest Mercedes-AMG will start selling at the end of 2024.
