Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance: Design

Thanks to the large Panamericana grille with vertical struts, the car can now be identified as an AMG in an instant. Three large openings are located in the lower portion of the nose and provide air to the engine. This car's standard headlamps are Multibeam LEDs. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance flaunts the brand's trademark aggressive styling. Three contoured lines on the long hood give it a very muscular appearance. This one has the AMG forged 21-inch alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, one of four alloy wheel options. The long hood, four doors, and sloping roofline at the back are all carried over from the GT four-door coupe into the body's design.

The car has dimensions of 5,054mm in length, 1,953mm in width, and 1,447mm in height, with a 2,951mm wheelbase. With the GT 63, Mercedes offers a few exterior accessory packs, including a night pack, a carbon fibre pack, and an aero pack. The Copper Orange Magno exterior colour is one of the seventeen available paint schemes.

The retractable wing, which is manually adjustable, is located at the back. The car's long taillamps cover the sides of the vehicle. The twin-pipe trapezoidal exhausts and the diffuser are located in the lower section. The GT 63 S E Performance looks very sporty all around.

An electric motor is paired with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine to power the AMG GT 63 S E Performance. The power for the rear axle comes from this electric motor. An AMG Speedshift MCT 9G automatic transmission is connected to the system. The motor can produce 201bhp and 320Nm while the engine can produce 630bhp and 900Nm of torque. Together, the engine and motor produce an impressive 832bhp and a maximum torque of 1,470Nm. The saloon can reach 100km/h in just 2.9 seconds and 0-200km/h in less than 10 seconds as a result. It offers a 316km/h top speed.

Notably, it has a 6.1kWh battery pack with a 70kW output that was installed by Mercedes. With this, the AMG GT 63 S E Performance can be driven exclusively on electricity for up to 12 kilometres.
