With a system output of 620 kW (843 hp) and a maximum system torque of more than 1.400 Nm, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE PERFORMANCE is a new milestone in the company's history.

The new edition model with its paintwork in AMG green hell magno and numerous design highlights in the exterior and interior ensures an individual appearance. The E PERORMANCE model is now available at a basic price of 196.897,40 euros[2], the edition for an additional price from 21.777,00 euros2 orderable. The market launch will take place in Europe from April 2022.

Mercedes-AMG is taking its own technical path to transport its brand-typical DNA into an electrified future. For this purpose, the Affalterbach-based company uses technologies from Formula 1, for example, in its E PERFORMANCE hybrid strategy. The concept includes an independent drive layout with an electric motor and battery on the rear axle. In the AMG GT 63 SE PERFORMANCE, the system consists of a 4,0-liter V8 biturbo engine with a permanently excited synchronous electric motor, a high-performance battery developed by AMG and the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The system output of 620 kW (843 hp) and the maximum system torque of more than 1.400 Nm enable acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 2,9 seconds. 200 km/h are reached in less than ten seconds. The propulsion only ends at 316 km/h.

The new top model of the series offers extensive standard equipment. Among other things:

  • The  AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension adjusts the damping force for each wheel to suit the situation in just a few milliseconds with its continuously adjustable pressure relief valves. The basic set-up is preselected via the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs – from “Sport+” mode for particularly dynamic driving to the “Comfort” setting for smooth cruising. The tuning can also be adjusted in three stages using a button, independently of the driving programs.
  • The integrated Driving dynamics control AMG DYNAMICS influences, among other things, the control strategies of the ESP® (Electronic Stability Program), the all-wheel drive and the electronically controlled rear-axle locking differential. This increases agility without sacrificing stability.
  • The Ceramic high-performance composite brake system is light, has a long service life and is extremely stable.

As with the entire series, the new performance hybrid also offers a wide range of customization options (excerpt):

  • The new, exclusive AMG special edition in AMG green hell magno paintwork. The performance hybrid looks very sporty thanks to the 21-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke forged wheels, painted black and with a high-sheen rim flange. The AMG Night package and the AMG Night package II also ensure a sporty look with their selected exterior elements in high-gloss black and dark chrome as well as the black foiling above the side skirts. You can choose between the AMG aerodynamic package and the AMG exterior carbon package. The optional panoramic roof lets plenty of light into the interior. Thanks to highlights such as the sports seats in Exclusive nappa leather, two-tone titanium gray pearl/black with yellow contrasting topstitching or the AMG Performance seats (optional) and the AMG trim elements in black piano lacquer look or, if desired, carbon, there is an unfiltered motorsport atmosphere. The Edition also appears exclusive thanks to the Edition badge in the interior and illuminated door sills in a color that matches the exterior paintwork.
  • Even the luxurious special edition, with Paintwork in the dark jewel color rubelite red, can be selected for the AMG GT 63 SE PERFORMANCE. This includes, among other things, the exterior package in high-gloss chrome and silver-painted, high-sheen 21-inch AMG forged wheels in a 5-twin-spoke design.
  • Stands for maximum individuality and luxury the label MANUFACTURE with selected materials, which are mainly processed by hand. Exclusive paintwork and high-quality refinements in the interior are also part of it. For the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, it offers paint finishes such as MANUFAKTUR classic gray uni, MANUFAKTUR olive metallic or MANUFAKTUR copper orange magno (matt version) as well as various leather colors. There is also a two-tone leather steering wheel, high-pile floor mats with embroidered AMG lettering and film sets in three color variants for the side skirts.
