NEW MERCEDES-AMG S63: 800HP & 1,430NM!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance is presented as the most powerful S-Class ever, boasting an impressive 802 horsepower and 1,430 Nm from its hybrid V8 powertrain. The review highlights numerous AMG-specific design cues, including a unique grille, aggressive bumpers, quad tailpipes, and optional carbon fiber accents, distinguishing it significantly from the standard S-Class. Inside, the cabin features an AMG steering wheel, performance-oriented displays with track pace data, and AMG badging throughout. While the car offers a blend of S-Class comfort and AMG sportiness, a notable omission is the lack of a 'drift mode' or 'race mode,' which the presenter acknowledges was a point of internal discussion. The reviewer also notes the car's substantial weight (2,595 kg) but emphasizes its agile handling thanks to standard rear-axle steering and recalibrated air suspension. The hybrid system, while powerful, has a limited electric-only range and the car's battery can be recharged by the engine. Pricing is yet to be announced but is expected to be high.
