2024 AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE 4-DOOR - POV DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4-Door is a technological marvel, blending a handcrafted V8 with a potent electric motor to deliver a staggering 831 horsepower and 1032 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer highlights its EV-like responsiveness and quick acceleration, noting that it drives "very much like an EV" with seamless transitions between power sources. While the performance is undeniably impressive, the reviewer points out that the exhaust note, though present, lacks the dramatic flair of its purely internal combustion counterparts, drawing comparisons to the Audi RS7 in its refined maturity. The interior is praised for its high-quality materials and a desirable balance of physical buttons and screens. Despite its substantial 5200 lb curb weight, the car's handling is described as sharp and engaging, with immense grip and a well-calibrated chassis. The advanced driver-assistance systems are a standout feature, making highway driving effortless. The reviewer concludes that while a purist might opt for the internal combustion GT 63, the E Performance offers a compelling package for those seeking extreme, yet refined, performance with the added flexibility of electric driving, making it a strong contender for a daily driver supercar.
