EV Channels Review

This video pits the new 840hp Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance against the BMW M5 Competition and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid in a series of drag races and a brake test. The AMG GT 63 S E Performance, despite its considerable weight (2,305kg), proved to be the outright winner in standing drag races, completing the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds, thanks to its potent hybrid system providing immense torque. The BMW M5 Competition (1,865kg) was a close second at 11.1 seconds, while the heavier Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (2,350kg) lagged behind at 11.3 seconds. In rolling races, the AMG again dominated, particularly in sportier settings. However, the tables turned in the 100-0 mph brake test, where the lighter Porsche and BMW outperformed the heavier AMG, with the Porsche taking the win. The reviewer highlights the AMG's explosive acceleration, the BMW's strong performance for its weight, and the Porsche's braking prowess, ultimately crowning the Mercedes-AMG as the quickest in acceleration but acknowledging the Porsche's superior braking.
