This Mercedes-AMG Mercedes-AMG is the most powerful Mercedes-AMG vehicle ever made.
The latest version of Mercedes-AMG’s super sedan, the AMG GT 63 E Performance, is now available. The Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo V8 is still used in this updated sports sedan, but there is now a hybrid system which adds even more power to the engine. This complex drivetrain has implications for real-world performance. The carwow team decided to put the new AMG GT 63 E Performance through its paces in order to find out.
Mercedes-AMG’s AMG GT 63 E Performance is a new dawn in performance cars. It combines the best of the past with the most recent technology. The twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V8 engine produces 639 horsepower (476 Kilowatts). The V8’s powerful engine is supplemented by an electric motor rear mounted at 204 HP. This gives the combined output of 843 horsepower (629 Kilowatts), and 1,084 lbf (1,470 Newton meters) of torque. Mercedes-AMG’s hybrid setup lets the AMG GT63 S E Performance benefit from the electric motor’s instant torque while the V8 engine cranks up its powerband. This hybrid drivetrain combined makes the AMG GT 63 E Performance the most powerful Mercedes-AMG vehicle on the road.
This complicated drivetrain is linked via Mercedes-AMG’s Four Matic four-wheel-drive system. This means that the engine and the electric motor can send power to either one of the rear wheels. Because of the control of power delivery, the AMG GT 63 E Performance can use all 843 horses easily. Mercedes-AMG’s 9-speed multi-clutch auto transmission is used to couple the twin-turbo V8 th the twin-turbo V8. The 2-speed transmission is used for the electric motor. The electric motor has its own 2-speed transmission. How does this tech-dense drivetrain perform in real-world driving conditions? Based on carwow’s motorway driving experience, this complicated drivetrain isn’t as seamless as it should. The power level in performance driving situations is amazing, but the extra weight of the hybrid systems means that physics doesn’t favor you.
