GT63 S E: 816HP IN THE FASTEST AMG EVER MADE!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance is presented as a V8 hybrid monster, boasting 816 horsepower and a blistering 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds, making it the fastest AMG ever tested. Despite its immense power and F1-derived technology, the reviewer highlights significant impracticalities. The hybrid system offers a mere 6 miles of electric range, and the added weight of the hybrid components (225 kg) makes it the heaviest GT variant, impacting handling dynamics with noticeable inertia and a less pure feedback compared to its V8-only siblings. The reviewer criticizes the confusing naming convention and the car's aesthetic similarity to lower trims, questioning its market positioning. While acknowledging the addictive "more" factor – more power, tech, and noise – and the incredible V8 soundtrack, the review suggests that for most, a GT55 or even the 911 Turbo S Hybrid offer more convincing, balanced, and enjoyable experiences. Ultimately, the GT63 S E Performance is deemed illogical yet undeniably addictive, a "juicy burger" that brings joy despite its flaws.
