Affalterbach engineers have once again drawn inspiration from Formula 1TM, pushing the boundaries of track performance into everyday driving. The result is the 2023 Mercedes AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE, the most potent S-Class to date, seamlessly merging opulent comfort with formidable power.
The S 63 makes a bold statement with its AMG-specific grille, a signature element across the AMG range. Jet wing-inspired air inlets and imposing 21-inch AMG forged wheels further amplify its aggressive stance, while the fluted twin tailpipes proudly declare its “63” AMG credentials. Stepping inside reveals a sanctuary of luxury, where Nappa Leather upholstery envelops the cabin, an AMG Performance Steering Wheel commands attention, and first-class rear cabin appointments and multicontour seats create an environment meticulously crafted to complement its performance-focused nature.
At the heart of the 2023 AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE lies a revolutionary hybrid powertrain. AMG’s E PERFORMANCE system strategically combines a handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 engine at the front with an electric motor positioned at the rear axle. This innovative pairing unleashes a staggering 791 horsepower and a colossal 1,055 lb-ft of torque, propelling the sedan from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.2 secondsDisclaimer[6],Disclaimer[7]. The electric motor’s rear placement is key to this impressive torque delivery. By bypassing the 9-speed transmission, it ensures instant power conversion and direct propulsion.
This intelligent positioning of the electric motor not only maximizes torque but also enhances agility and handling. The 2023 Mercedes AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE exhibits remarkable fluidity, making its immense power surprisingly accessible and manageable. Further tailoring the driving experience are seven AMG DYNAMIC SELECT modes, empowering the driver to fine-tune the car’s behavior to suit any situation. From serene all-electric cruising to unleashing maximum performance in “Sport+” mode, the S 63 adapts to every driving desire. Drivers can also take command of energy recuperation with four distinct levels, ranging from maximum “one-pedal” driving efficiency to minimal resistance for effortless coasting.
Regardless of the chosen driving mode, the 2023 S 63 E PERFORMANCE delivers an unparalleled driving sensation. It redefines expectations, offering a unique blend of AMG’s signature power and S-Class luxury, creating an experience unlike any other on the road.
