The first performance hybrid from Mercedes-AMG enters series production with technological prowess inspired by Formula 1. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance includes a drive layout with an electric motor and battery on the rear axle as well as a high-performance battery developed in-house. The combination of a 4.0-litre V8 bi-turbo engine and a 6.1kWh electric motor generates a system output of 843bhp and a peak torque of more than 1,400Nm, coupled to a 9-speed automatic transmission. This helps the AMG GT 63 S E Performance do the 0-100kmph sprint in less than 3 seconds, 2.9 seconds to be precise, while the 200kmph sprint is achieved in less than ten seconds, before it reaches a top speed of 316kmph. Let’s start with the design. Although a hybrid, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance features an expressive design with a low front section, muscular body, squat greenhouse and a dynamic fastback appearance. The front apron is based on the design of the two-door AMG GT, and appears to be cast from a single mould, and blends into the design. The outer air intakes are wider and more pointed towards the centre of the car. At the rear, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance features an integrated plug-in charging flap on the rear apron, and is highlighted in red. The "E PERFORMANCE" badge finds place on the wings. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance will be offered in four matt painted finishes, five metallic finishes and two non-metallic finishes. In addition, there are seven new painted finishes available for customization. The exterior can be further accentuated with the new AMG Night Package II or a combination of the Night Package and Carbon Package. In addition, there are new 20 and 21-inch light-alloy wheels, each in two color variants. The exclusive edition is also available for the performance hybrid.
