THE 2024 MERCEDES-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE IS THE ULTIMATE ELECTRIFIED HYPER SPEED 4-DOOR

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is presented as the ultimate electrified four-door, boasting an astonishing 831 horsepower and over 1,000 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer highlights its blistering acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in a mere 2.7 seconds, significantly faster than AMG's claimed figure. While the V8 engine is praised for its sound and power, the plug-in hybrid system's primary benefit is seen as avoiding the gas-guzzler tax and providing instantaneous torque fill, rather than offering substantial electric-only range (around 5 miles in testing). The exterior design, particularly in unique colors like Olive Metallic and China Blue, is lauded for its aggressive yet elegant appeal. Inside, the cabin offers high build quality and advanced technology, though the older platform is noticeable compared to newer Mercedes models. The reviewer found the executive rear seat package disappointing for its price, lacking ventilated seats and sunshades, and suggested opting for the standard five-seater. Despite its high price tag (starting at $195,000, as tested over $224,000), the car is positioned as a performance leader against competitors like the Porsche Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid, offering unparalleled speed in its class.
