2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S AMG E Performance 4.0L V8 Biturbo 9AT AWD (805 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Mercedes-AMG unveiled the second generation of the GT lineup in 2023 but waited until the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix to unveil the mighty GT63 S AMG E Performance.

The German automaker tried to attract more customers from other well-known sports car brands when it unveiled the GT63 AMG S E Performance at the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix. It promised that the two-door GT could do what many supercars couldn’t, and it could do that while still providing a 2+2 seating configuration. Furthermore, the comfort level rivaled that of many other GT vehicles since it inherited the technology of other Mercedes-Benz cars. At the same time, the GT63 S E Performance featured an electric motor that powered the rear wheels to improve performance and lower emissions. Interestingly, the automaker offered the GT63 S E Performance as a plug-in hybrid, even though the car could be charged only at slow-speed chargers.

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance was part of the C192 generation of the model and featured a broad grille at the front where the three-pointed star badge took center stage. In addition, the automaker adorned the massive air intake with twelve vertical double slats. Lower, on the apron, the car sported a slim A-shaped air intake flanked by vertical scoops that channeled air around the bodywork to lower the drag resistance.

From its profile, the 2025 GT63 S E Performance boasted a GT-like silhouette. Its front fenders featured oblique vents behind the wheel arches and the V8 Biturbo E Performance badges, available in black, as an option. The car kept the main attributes of a grand tourer: a long hood, a short and sloped-down greenhouse, and a short deck behind the rear window. Unlike its lesser-powered siblings, the flagship version of the GT Coupe rode on 20-inch light alloy wheels with a ten-spoke design, which Mercedes-AMG wrapped with 295/35 tires up front and 305/35 ones in the back. As an option, the automaker offered a 21-inch set. The active aerodynamic system of the vehicle also included a retractable wing on the deck, which could be manually or automatically deployed. Out back, under the bumper, the car manufacturer placed twin rectangular exhausts on each side of the rear diffuser.

The 2+2 configuration of the vehicle made it stand apart from many other sports cars. Its leather-wrapped cabin provided a luxurious ambiance, but thanks to the sports seats up front, it also breathed a sporty feeling. As an option, customers could get AMG Performance seats with integrated headrests. The automaker installed a TFT display in front of the driver that showed significant information about the car’s status, including specific data about the hybrid system. Furthermore, on the center stack, the C192 featured an 11.9-inch touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment system.

Under its skin, the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance featured a 4.0-liter bi-turbo engine up front and an electric motor on the rear axle. Their combined power was 816 PS (805 hp), from which 204 PS (201 hp) came from the electron-powered one. That was fed by a 600-volt, 6.1 kWh battery pack consisting of 560 liquid-cooled cells. They could provide an EV range of 13 km (8 miles). However, the automaker didn’t put them there to lower fuel consumption but to get better performance.
