2024 MERCEDES-AMG GT63: ELEGANT EXTERIOR, NASTY PERFORMANCE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S e-Performance 4-Door Coupe is presented as a sophisticated sedan with surprisingly ferocious performance. Reviewers highlight its elegant exterior design, luxurious interior featuring Nappa leather, diamond stitching, and extensive customization options, including available carbon fiber trim and a premium Burmester sound system. The vehicle boasts impressive technology, such as dual 12.3-inch displays and an available head-up display. Practicality is also a strong suit, with comfortable rear seating (especially with the executive package) and a usable 14 cubic feet of cargo space, though a hump specific to the e-Performance model impacts this slightly. The standout feature is undoubtedly its performance: a handcrafted 4.0L twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor delivers a staggering 831 horsepower and 1,032 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph time of just 2.8 seconds, rivaling many supercars. The plug-in hybrid system offers about 7 miles of electric-only range with a 200 hp electric motor. While the ride is compliant and comfortable for daily driving, even in Sport Plus mode, the "airball" is its steep price, starting just under $200,000 and reaching $224,820 as tested, making it a significant investment.
