Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Hybrid

When it comes to automotive excellence, Mercedes-AMG never ceases to amaze. While the world buzzes about the shift from a V-8 to a four-cylinder engine in the latest Mercedes-AMG C63, we'd like to draw your attention to a new, exciting nameplate on the horizon - the E Performance. And don't worry, because not all these hybrid models are waving goodbye to the V-8 engines just yet. In the United States, we've already seen the impressive S63 super-limo, and a couple of years ago, the GT63 S E Performance gave us a glimpse of the electrified future. Originally planned for a 2023 U.S. debut, the four-door hybrid has seen a slight delay. But rest assured, when it finally arrives on American shores in 2024, it will be sporting a striking new look, recently unveiled for the European market.

Now, let's delve into the exciting details. Mercedes has teased us with the promise of more information on the U.S.-bound E Performance, keeping us on the edge of our seats. And what can we expect from this eagerly awaited arrival? Well, it's highly likely that we'll get our hands on the refreshed European model, complete with a new, captivating facelift.

The most noticeable change, of course, is the grille. It's no longer your ordinary grille; it's a masterpiece within a larger opening, adorned with a sleek black intake beneath chrome vertical strakes. The inspiration for this design comes straight from the remarkable Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe, and it's a sight to behold. The bumper, too, has undergone a transformation, offering a cleaner and more refined look. It showcases delicate air vents on the outside and a subtle lower grille opening, adding to the car's allure.

But that's not all; Mercedes has taken the opportunity to update the features list. While we await the official details on how the U.S. models will be packaged, you can anticipate an electric sunroof as standard, and for those who value rear-seat comfort, a wireless phone charger is also in the mix. To elevate your driving experience, the standard Burmester surround sound system now incorporates Dolby Atmos spatial audio, similar to the new E-Class and other updated Mercedes-Benz models.

Of course, let's not forget about what's under the hood. The hybrid powertrain remains unchanged, featuring a robust twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine paired with an electric motor on the rear axle, delivering a jaw-dropping 831 horsepower and an astonishing 1082 pound-feet of torque. All this power is elegantly channeled through a nine-speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels. The electric motor draws its strength from a 4.8-kWh battery, ensuring a seamless blend of performance and efficiency. As an added touch of luxury, the E Performance boasts air suspension as standard. Plus, a fresh Opalite White Metallic color option joins the lineup, adding more personalization to your driving experience.

As we eagerly await more details, one thing is certain - the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance promises to be a breathtaking fusion of power, style, and technology, ready to electrify the American roads. Stay tuned as Mercedes unveils further information about this electrifying masterpiece in the coming months.
