It's a half-mile drag race between a top-of-the-line Mercedes AMG GT 63 with an internal combustion engine and a top-of-the-line electric Mercedes AMG EQS 53. Two cars that occupy the top of the Mercedes AMG food chain. However, one represents the culmination of internal combustion, while one is the electric future.
The AMG GT 6.3 uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 combined with an electric motor on the rear axle to produce a combined 843 horsepower. By comparison, the EQS 53 produces only 760 horsepower. Those numbers make it seem like the gasoline-powered AMG GT has the advantage, but not so fast. Like all electric vehicles, the EQS makes its power immediately. There's no powerband or waiting for the turbos to spool up.
