Mercedes-AMG has taken high-performance luxury to the next level with its most powerful production vehicle yet—the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE 4-Door Coupe. Blending Formula 1-inspired hybrid technology with a Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine, this electrified beast delivers a staggering 831 horsepower and 1,032 lb-ft of torque. Designed for lightning-fast acceleration, impeccable handling, and cutting-edge hybrid efficiency, this four-door coupe is an engineering masterpiece from Affalterbach.

A Hybrid System Unlike Any Other

At the heart of the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE is a P3 hybrid system, featuring a V8 up front and an electric motor at the rear. This high-performance hybrid isn’t just about fuel savings—it’s designed to maximize power delivery and driving dynamics.

  • V8 Power: The Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine produces 630 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, delivering breathtaking acceleration.
  • Electric Boost: A 201 hp electric motor mounted on the rear axle provides instant torque and a seamless performance boost.
  • Advanced AMG High-Performance Battery (HPB): Inspired by Formula 1, the 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery features direct cooling for optimal efficiency and weight savings.
  • 0-60 MPH in Just 2.8 Seconds: The combined system output enables supercar-level acceleration, launching the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE to 60 mph in an estimated 2.8 seconds.
  • Top Speed: Electronically limited to 197 mph, ensuring relentless performance at high speeds.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive & Performance-Focused Hybridization

The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system distributes power dynamically for exceptional traction and stability. The electric motor’s torque is sent directly to the rear wheels, but it can also send power to the front wheels if necessary. This improves cornering agility, acceleration, and overall driving confidence.

Other key advantages of the rear-mounted electric motor and battery placement include improved weight distribution for sharper handling, reduced drivetrain losses increasing power efficiency, and a two-speed gearbox for electric motor ensuring smooth power delivery across speed ranges.

Formula 1-Inspired AMG High-Performance Battery

The AMG high-performance battery (HPB) is engineered for power over range, enabling instant energy delivery for high-speed driving.

  • Continuous output: 94 hp
  • Peak output: 201 hp (for up to 10 seconds)
  • Battery weight: Just 196 lbs, allowing for a high power-to-weight ratio
  • Charging: 3.7 kW on-board AC charger (for wallbox, charging station, or household outlet)

What makes this battery unique is its direct cooling system. Instead of relying on traditional air cooling, AMG uses a high-tech coolant to cool all 1,200 battery cells individually, maintaining an optimal operating temperature of 113°F. This ensures maximum performance, longevity, and safety—even under extreme driving conditions.

AMG DYNAMIC SELECT Drive Modes – From Silent to Savage

The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE comes with eight AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes, giving drivers a broad range of performance characteristics.

  • Electric – Fully electric driving up to 87 mph, with zero emissions
  • Comfort – Hybrid mode for efficiency and smooth driving
  • Battery Hold – Preserves battery charge for future performance needs
  • Sport – Increased power delivery and sharper throttle response
  • Sport+ – More aggressive tuning for track-ready acceleration
  • RACE – Maximum performance for closed-course driving
  • Slippery – Reduced power output for improved traction in wet conditions
  • Individual – Customizable drive settings for a tailored experience

Additionally, four levels of regenerative braking allow drivers to select how aggressively the car recovers energy. At the highest level, it offers a “one-pedal driving” experience, much like an EV.

Exterior & Interior – Performance Meets Luxury

The AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE retains the iconic fastback silhouette of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe but adds exclusive E PERFORMANCE design cues.

  • Rear bumper with integrated charging port
  • Red GT 63 S badging
  • Unique “E PERFORMANCE” fender emblems
  • Grooved trapezoidal twin tailpipes

Inside, the driver-centric MBUX infotainment system features hybrid-specific displays, allowing drivers to monitor battery levels, power flow, and hybrid performance in real-time.

Other standout interior features include AMG Performance steering wheel with customizable drive mode buttons, premium materials with AMG-specific trim options, and AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension offering adaptable comfort and performance.

Cutting-Edge Braking & Suspension for Track-Ready Performance

The AMG high-performance carbon-ceramic braking system ensures exceptional stopping power, featuring 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic discs with six-piston calipers at the front and 15-inch discs with single-piston floating calipers at the rear.

Meanwhile, the AMG RIDE CONTROL+ adaptive suspension constantly adjusts to road conditions for a perfect balance between ride comfort and razor-sharp handling.

A New Benchmark in Performance Hybrids

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE 4-Door Coupe is more than just a powerful luxury sedan—it’s a revolutionary performance hybrid that proves electrification can enhance driving dynamics rather than compromise them. With supercar-like acceleration, F1-inspired technology, and everyday usability, this electrified AMG represents the future of high-performance luxury vehicles.
