World premiere of the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE in Shanghai
London, 22 April 2024, (Oilandgaspress): –Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the new top model in its GT series. The extremely powerful E PERFORMANCE hybrid drive consisting of a V8 engine and electric motor ensures lightning-fast response to inputs along with emphatic power delivery. Innovative motorsport technology, inspired by the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, forms the basis of a unique motoring experience packed with performance and driving dynamics.
“From zero to 100 in 2.8 seconds – no AMG series model has ever sprinted that fast before. Given these values, it was clear that the world premiere of the new AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE had to take place on the sidelines of a Formula 1™ race. Our four-litre V8, combined with the performance hybrid system, makes the vehicle the top model in our GT family. The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE combines enormous performance with a very dynamic driving experience and thus creates pure goosebumps. At the same time, the vehicle offers extensive equipment options and high-quality materials, making it one of the most exclusive performance-coupés on the market.”
Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of Business Units Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes Maybach
In the new AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE (energy consumption combined weighted: 12.6 kWh/100 km plus 8.2 l/100 km | fuel consumption combined discharged battery: 12.3 l/100 km | CO₂ emissions combined weighted: 188 g /km | CO₂ class combined weighted: G | CO₂ class discharged battery: G)[1], the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and the AMG Electric Drive Unit together generate a system output of 600 kW (816 hp) and a maximum torque of up to 1,420 Nm[2]. The rapid acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and the top speed of 320 km/h underline the powerful performance. Systems such as the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation and active rear-axle steering ensure a wide spread between driving dynamics and everyday comfort.
E PERFORMANCE: Combustion engine at the front, electric motor at the rear
The drive train of the new AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE combines the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine on the front axle with an electric drive unit on the rear axle. It integrates a 150 kW (204 hp), permanently excited synchronous electric motor with an electrically switched two-speed transmission and a mechanical rear axle limited-slip differential. The lightweight high-performance battery is also located above the rear axle. This compact design results in numerous advantages. The electric motor acts directly on the rear axle and can therefore convert its power more directly into propulsion. This provides an extra boost when starting off, accelerating or overtaking. As slip on the rear axle increases, the driving force of the electric motor is also transferred to the front wheels as required. The mechanical connection of the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive makes this possible via the cardan shaft and drive shafts of the front wheels. The positioning on the rear axle improves the weight and axle load distribution in the vehicle and thus forms the basis for convincing handling.
