Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance hybrid System
AMG has built a few hybrid cars before – such as the AMG GLE 53 and E53 models – but these are just mild hybrids that use a small motor to give the engine some help when you accelerate.
This new AMG GT 4-door E Performance is a proper full-blown hybrid. It pairs a 639hp twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 from the normal AMG GT 63 S with a brand-new 204hp electric motor.
Together, this new hybrid system produces 843hp and a colossal 1,470Nm of torque.
This makes it the most powerful road car AMG has ever built – and it’s also one of the quickest. The AMG GT 4-door hybrid accelerates from 0-60mph in just 2.9 seconds.
That’s a few tenths of a second quicker than the standard GT 63 S, a Porsche Panamera Turbo S or a BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance battery and range
The new AMG GT hybrid comes with a 6.1kWh battery that Mercedes says took inspiration from the batteries in its Formula One cars.
Putting the technical talk to one side, this makes it lighter than most batteries with the same capacity and it has some clever cooling technology that helps it deliver lots of power in a short burst without overheating.
So how much range do you think it has? 25 miles? Maybe 15 miles? Nope – a full charge gives the new GT 4-door hybrid just seven miles of range.
At least it’ll do 80mph in EV-only mode, though, and 7 miles of range is probably enough to get you to a nice quiet back road where you can fire up the twin-turbo V8…
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance brakes
The new AMG GT 4-door hybrid comes with carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, with 6-piston callipers at the front and single-piston callipers at the back. It can also use its electric motor as a generator to help slow the car down and recharge its batteries at the same time through regenerative braking.
You can customise the strength of this regen effect using buttons on the steering wheel. Level zero turns the system off completely, while Level 3 cranks it up so high that you can pretty much drive the car using just the accelerator pedal.

Race mode automatically sets the regen to Level 1, which is supposed to feel the most like driving a normal car, and this new GT 4-door hybrid can also use its limited-slip differential and the motor’s regenerative braking to help stabilise itself in certain corners without the ESP system applying the brakes.

Западные издания опубликовали фотографии с тестовым прототипом Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance. Новинка 2024 модельного года замечена с довольно скромными выхлопными трубами.
Новое видео показывает, как Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance 2024 модельного года получил обновленный дизайн. Недавно опубликованное видео показывает версию модели с частичным камуфляжем, скрывающим изменения в дизайне, и вызывает вопросы о каких-либо обновлениях силовой установки.
Камуфляж покрывает переднюю панель, значительную часть капота и крыльев.
Mercedes пытается скрыть решетку радиатора Panamericana, но обнажает значки V8 E Performance на крыльях. GT63 получит обновленную решетку радиатора, которая расположится над полностью обновленным передним бампером.
Универсал Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 года выглядит интересней, чем седан
Нижнее отверстие теперь разделено пополам с дополнительными прорезями между решеткой радиатора и внешними воздухозаборниками бампера. Автомобиль также имеет измененные фары с полностью открытой задней частью. Тем не менее, у него есть несколько странных выхлопных труб.
В 2021 году Mercedes обновил рядные шестицилиндровые версии 4-дверного AMG GT, внеся незначительные изменения в стиль интерьера и экстерьера. Автопроизводитель также представил Manufaktur Exclusive Edition со специальной окраской кузова Rubellite Red Metallic, пакетом хромированной отделки, уникальными колесами и специальными элементами внутренней отделки.
Mercedes не будет обновлять варианты V8 до 2022 года. GT63 получил аналогичные обновления стиля, но автопроизводитель увеличил мощность GT63 S до 639 л.с. Это все еще намного ниже, чем у GT63 SE Performance, который также может получить прирост мощности благодаря последнему обновлению дизайна. Шпионское видео показывает автомобиль с удлиненными выхлопными трубами, торчащими из выхлопных отверстий, что может означать, что также будут обновлены силовые агрегаты.
Если Mercedes оставит электрифицированный двигатель в покое, он будет производить те же 831 лошадиную силу, что и при дебюте модели в 2021 году. Автопроизводитель получает всю эту мощность, сочетая свой 4,0-литровый двигатель V8 с двойным турбонаддувом и электродвигателем с аккумуляторной батареей на 6,1 киловатт-часа.
Не так давно, наше издание писало о том, что универсал Mercedes E-Class Estate 2024 года представлен как классная альтернатива кроссоверу.
Как и у седана, у E-Class Estate имеются три экрана, селфи-камера, TikTok и Angry Birds.
2023 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE (fuel consumption weighted, combined WLTP: 7.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions weighted, combined WLTP: 180 g/km; power consumption weighted, combined WLTP: 12.0 kWh/100 km) is the Affalterbach brand’s most powerful production model to date thanks to technology transfer from Formula 1. The innovative hybrid concept with an electric motor and AMG High Performance battery on the rear axle combines superior system performance of 620 kW (843 hp) with impressive driving dynamics and high efficiency. Mercedes-AMG reaffirms its close ties to the F1 team with this special model and equips the «F1 Edition» with exclusive exterior and interior features. The «F1 Edition» can be ordered immediately at a surcharge of 23,800.00 euros.
To celebrate 55 years of AMG, the performance and sports car brand not only looks back with pride on its successful past, but also celebrates the present with the «Edition 55» models. With the special «F1 Edition» model, Mercedes-AMG is now making the electrified future even more visible. Thanks to the technology transfer from Formula 1, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE is the perfect ambassador for the Future of Driving Performance. The modular E PERFORMANCE hybrid powertrain will soon be coming to other Mercedes-AMG models. The transformation to purely electric drives with AMG derivatives based on the EVA2 platform and, in future, completely independent AMG models based on AMG.EA will be at least as exciting as the past 55 years.
The «F1 Edition» can be recognised at first glance by the paintwork. It is an exclusive combination of the paintwork in non-metallic MANUFAKTUR alpine grey and the foiling with AMG logo and colour gradient from grey to black as well as the red colour accents. The 21-inch AMG forged wheels in the 5-twin-spoke design, black matt finish, with red rim flange, follow the colour scheme of the wheels of the Official FIA F1 Medical Car from Mercedes-AMG.
The AMG Aerodynamics package developed in the wind tunnel improves handling characteristics at high speeds and lays the foundation for even more driving performance. The attachments increase the negative lift force while reducing drag. The fixed rear aerofoil demonstrates a clear commitment to uncompromising performance. The AMG Aerodynamics package includes:
- Fixed rear aerofoil in high-gloss black
- Further optimised diffuser, integrated in the rear apron
- Extensively optimised front apron with larger front splitter plus additional air deflector elements on the air intakes and the front wheel arches
- Deflector elements on the side air outlets of the rear wings.
The AMG Night Package Exterior and the AMG Night Package II also enhance the dynamic appearance of the «F1 Edition». The front splitter and trim elements in the front wings, exterior mirror housings, side edge trim and window surrounds are finished in high-gloss black. There is also the trim strip in the rear apron, twin tailpipe trims of the AMG exhaust system in black chrome and heat-insulating dark tinted glass. The darkened AMG-specific radiator grille and model badges on the boot lid and wings in black chrome complete the exclusive appearance. And the new AMG fuel filler cap in silver chrome with «AMG» lettering creates an attractive contrast.
As with the «Edition 55» models for the G-Class, A-Class and CLA, the interior is characterised by the contrast of black and red. The AMG Performance seats with Exclusive nappa leather upholstery in black with red decorative stitching follow this sporty look, as do the seat belts in red and the exclusive AMG carbon-fibre trim elements with red thread. The AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather / DINAMICA microfibre with red decorative stitching and the AMG door sill trims with red illuminated «AMG» lettering. The final touches are the exclusive Edition badge in the interior and specific AMG floor mats.
To protect the valuable vehicle, each customer also receives a customised AMG Indoor Car Cover with F1 logo. With its breathable outer panelling made of tear-resistant synthetic fibre fabric and antistatic inner fabric made of flannel, it protects the vehicle in the garage from dust and scratches.
The figures shown are the WLTP CO2 figures measured according to Article 2 No 3 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153. The fuel consumption figures were calculated on the basis of these figures. The electricity consumption was determined on the basis of Regulation 2017/1151/EU.
