The recently retired Swiss maestro picked one hell of a Merc as a starting point. The four-door coupé, which is the first in a series of E Performance plug-ins, represents AMG’s most powerful road car to date. The hybrid packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and a 150 kW electric motor that can collectively produce 831 hp and 1,082 ft lbs of torque.That power is delivered to each wheel via a nine-speed automatic transmission and AMG’s 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system.
This particular model was designed to honor Federer’s prolific tennis career that spanned no less than 24 years. To that end, the four-wheeler is finished in a bespoke neon-yellow paint called “Electric Beam” that looks rather similar to the color of a tennis ball. In addition, the car is adorned with Federer’s personal signet. As it has never registered for the road, the example is also presented in pristine condition.
As for price, RM Sotheby’s expects Federer’s creation to sell for between $200,000 and $250,000. The standard GT 63 S E Performance Hybrid is currently available in Europe for about $221,000 and is expected to arrive at US dealerships later this year. “Representing the new era of electrified AMG performance, the successful bidder of this lot will be assured of a sensational driving experience, further to buying a piece of tennis history,” theto see all the photos of Federer’s Mercedes-AMG.
