REVIEW: 2024 MERCEDES-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE 4-DOOR

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4-Door is lauded as the pinnacle of AMG's performance engineering, boasting a formidable 831 horsepower and 1,032 lb-ft of torque from its twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain. The reviewer highlights its astonishing acceleration, with a 0-60 mph time claimed at 2.9 seconds, and impressive handling that belies its over 5,200 lb curb weight, attributing this to advanced suspension, rear-wheel steering, and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system. Despite the hybrid setup, the electric range is minimal (around 7 miles), with the system primarily designed to enhance performance rather than efficiency. The interior is praised for its luxurious feel and well-integrated dual-screen setup, though storage is limited. Practicality is compromised by the battery pack, reducing cargo space. The reviewer finds the driving experience exhilarating, with seamless power delivery and a refined ride, even on large wheels. While acknowledging the steep $214,000 as-tested price, it's positioned as a relative bargain compared to the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, though significantly more expensive than the BMW M5. Ultimately, the reviewer is impressed, calling it a "winner" and "darn near perfect."
