The new AMG GT 63 S E Performance is the latest iteration of Mercedes-AMG’s super sedan. This updated sports sedan still uses Mercedes-AMG’s twin-turbo V8 except for this time there is a hybrid system that helps add even more power and instant torque. What does this complex drivetrain mean for real-world performance? Well, the team at carwow decided to take a new AMG GT 63 S E Performance through its paces to find out.
The AMG GT 63 S E Performance represents a new dawn for Mercedes-AMG performance vehicles as it carries over the best of the old with the latest new tech. Power comes from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 639 horsepower (476 Kilowatts). This powerful V8 is augmented by a rear-mounted 204 horsepower electric motor for a combined output of 843 horsepower (629 Kilowatts) and 1,084 lb-ft (1,470 Newton Meters) of torque.
