Drawing inspiration from the pinnacle of motorsport, Formula 1™, the engineers at Affalterbach have crafted the Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE, representing the most potent S-Class iteration to date. This vehicle masterfully fuses opulence and comfort with raw, unadulterated power.
The S 63 immediately captivates with its AMG-specific grille, a signature element across the AMG range. Aerodynamically sculpted air inlets, imposing 21-inch AMG forged wheels, and distinctive fluted twin tailpipes assert its formidable “63” AMG pedigree. The cabin envelops occupants in Nappa Leather upholstery, complemented by an AMG Performance Steering Wheel, a first-class rear passenger area, and multi-contour seats, creating a lavish environment meticulously designed to enhance its performance-oriented nature.
At the heart of this performance lies a sophisticated hybrid synergy between engine and battery, propelling this sedan to exhilarating levels. The AMG 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 potent combination generates a staggering 791 horsepower and 1,055 lb-ft of torque, enabling breathtaking acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.2 seconds. The electric motor’s rear placement is key to this immediate power delivery, bypassing the 9-speed transmission to directly translate electric energy into instant forward motion.
This configuration not only boosts acceleration but also enhances agility and handling dynamics, ensuring that all that power remains remarkably controllable. Seven AMG DYNAMIC SELECT modes further refine the driving experience, allowing drivers to tailor the car’s behavior to diverse conditions, ranging from all-electric driving to maximum performance boost in “Sport+” mode. Drivers can also manage energy recuperation through four distinct levels, facilitating maximum “one-pedal” driving efficiency or minimal resistance for effortless coasting.
Regardless of the chosen driving style, the Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE delivers an unparalleled driving sensation, establishing itself as a vehicle unlike any other.
