The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is the division’s first plug-in hybrid model and most powerful creation yet.
STUTTGART - The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance has been revealed as the division’s first plug-inHere we’re talking system outputs of 620kW and 1400Nm, which is enough to make the brutal Mercedes-AMG GTfeel a little down on power with its 537kW output. Yet despite the new four-door hybrid’s considerable weight penalty , its electric assistance allows for astounding acceleration, with the claimed 0-100km/h time coming in at 2.9 seconds, making it 0.3 seconds faster than the Black Series.
Beneath the skin of the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance you’ll find a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that pairs with a MCT 9-speed transmission and 150kW electric motor. The electric drive unit is mounted on the rear axle and includes a two-speed transmission and limited slip differential. Above the e-motor is a 6.1 kWh AMG high-performance lithium-ion battery that allows the vehicle to cover around 12km on electric power only.
The fully-variable all-wheel drive system also allows the electric motor to transfer power to the front wheels when additional traction is needed. The vehicle is fitted as standard with AMG Ride Control + multi-chamber air suspension with automatic level control. This is combined with a new adaptive damping system featuring ‘pressure release’ valves.
