IF "WTF" WAS A CAR, IT'D BE THE AMG GT63S E-PERFORMANCE

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG GT63s E-Performance is a hybrid marvel that pushes the boundaries of power, delivering a staggering 805 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque, capable of 0-60 mph in the mid-to-high 2-second range. However, the reviewer questions AMG's direction, suggesting the brand may be moving away from traditional sports cars. While the E-Performance excels in straight-line acceleration and offers a comfortable, daily-drivable experience akin to a grand tourer, it falls short in delivering a pure sports car feel compared to its lighter, more agile competitors like the Porsche 911 GTS. A significant drawback is the drastic reduction in trunk space due to the hybrid battery, severely impacting practicality. The reviewer also notes a lack of refinement and seamlessness in the hybrid system's operation, contrasting it with Porsche's more integrated approach. Ultimately, the GT63s E-Performance is deemed a "sport tourer" that is exceptionally fast but confusingly positioned, expensive, and less practical than its non-hybrid counterpart or other segment rivals.
