GT 4-Door Coupé (X290) Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door MOPF (Modelpflege)

no sound.

As far as I've noticed, BEV sound is tyre roar and whistle, not, no sound. Also, the weight is low down in an EV, and they run sub 3 second quarters, so who cares about the weight...


...amirite?

Spot on as always!

 

[Serpens]

By all means enjoy ICE while they last. I am actively looking for a last sporty ICE sedan. But I don't know what this whale brings to the table that a normal GT63S doesn't already when it comes to enjoying ICE. Don't tell me 12km of electric range!

I guess we'll have to wait until the road tests to see.

 

[GTA45E]

It is heavy at 5247lbs. but with more than 1000lb-ft on tap coupled with 4-Matic AWD, it will be insanely quick.
With the e-motor, the GT63s e-performance is the most powerful production ICE-powered 4-door car on the planet right now.
Mercedes already posted a factory time of 0-100km-h in 2.9 seconds. It should easily beat that figure by 0.4 sec as MB AMG models usually do in most tests.
(The Ferrari 812 posted a 0-60mph time of 2.8 seconds from Car&Driver for example)


With the GT63s E, We might be talking about speed figures at or near the current Porsche 911 Turbo. I believe it will be that quick. Time will tell
when the tests come out.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Color me indifferent. I should be ooh-ing and aah-ing this, but it doesn't rev my motor. Maybe this set-up in something lithe-looking like the upcoming SL might change my mind.

 

[Merc1]

Yeah I was thinking that same thing. I’m ready for the SL or S 63e models. What is taking Mercedes so long to reveal the AMG S Class!?

[Pagani]

I am curious how the next GT two-seater will be with this engine at this point. Hopefully they can control the weight and come up with something special. The GT 4dr coupe has always looked a bit strange to me. In real life it looks too high, as if riding on stilts.

M

The unveil of the S63e is postponed because of chip shortage. Mercedes does not want to show a new car with some hi-tech and expensive options they cannot fill.

BMW appears to be doing the same for the next M5 with hybrid tech? IMO the worst of both worlds.

I read in CAR Magazine last year that their would be two M5s, total EV and hybrid.

M5 and M5 Competition? Which will be which?

 

[WBarnes]

M5 and M5 Competition? Which will be which?

The way I interpreted it was that both would be both. Not to say my interpretation is correct. They said 990hp EV and 750hp hybrid (which would be V8TT + EV).

 

[burana800]

If I had to choose one word to describe this car it would be unnecessary.

 

[Merc1]

I’d be happy with a 53 or base 63. I can’t help but think Mercedes should have used the I6 for all this tech.

If I had to choose one word to describe this car it would be unnecessary.

In fairness, very few of the cars we discuss on this forum could be described as 'necessary'.

Mercedes-AMG’s New 831 HP Hybrid Is Also Its Most Powerful Road Car
The four-door coupé's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 brings plenty of grunt.


Even Mercedes-Benz’s high-performance division is ready to embrace electrification.

The German automaker has just unveiled the first plug-in hybrid that will be released under the AMG banner—the GT 63 S E Performance. It may not be fully electric like the Audi e-tron GT, but it represents a big step forward for the division, and is, at least temporarily, its most powerful road car.

The four-door coupé is the first of a series of E Performance plug-in hybrids that Mercedes-AMG announced earlier this spring. Just like the AMG GT 63 it’s based on, the hybrid has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission that’s capable of generating 630 horses and 664 ft lbs of twist. But unlike its gas-powered sibling, the hybrid pairs that mill with a permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor on the rear axle

The motor, which gets its juice from a 4.8-kWh battery pack and has its own two-speed transmission, can generate 201 hp on its own for up to 10 seconds, and 94 hp continuously, according to a press release. Combined, the engine and electric motor are capable of generating a maximum of 831 hp and 1,082 ft lbs of torque, which is

delivered to each wheel via AMG’s 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. The brand says the car can rocket from zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and from zero to 124 mph in less than 10 seconds, though there’s some thought it may be even faster.

Running only on electricity, the motor is good for about 7 miles of range, according to AMG. That’s nothing to write home about—in fact, it’s downright paltry—but that’s because the hybrid powertrain was designed for fast power delivery, like an F1 car. Still, those extra miles might come in handy when you’re driving in the city. The motor should also charge pretty quickly, thanks to a 3.7-kW on-board AC charger and four levels of regenerative braking.

Other features include a world’s first direct-cooling system to keep the battery at the optimal temperature, AMG’s air springs and electronically controlled adaptive dampers, as well as carbon-ceramic brakes on all four wheels. There are also seven different driving modes to choose from: Electric, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus, Race, Slippery and the fully customizable Individual.

AMG’s electrified speed machine looks nearly identical to its gas-powered sibling, with elegant lines traveling from front to back, a sloping roof and a pop-up rear spoiler that gives it real attitude. The differences include a sportier front bumper just like that on the two-door AMG GT, special badging, including “V8 BiTurbo E Performance” across both front fenders, and a charging port in the rear. There are also seven new finishes to choose from, as well your choice of 20- and 21-inch light alloy wheels. The interior looks identical to the standard GT 63, though its MBUX infotainment system has been optimized with hybrid-specific data, like electric driving range, charging level information and battery temperature.

The AMG GT 63 S E Performance is scheduled to arrive in the US next year, as part of the division’s 2023 model year. Pricing has yet to be announced, but its seems likely to exceed the standard’s $161,900 base price.

More AMG plug-in hybrids will follow in the years to come, including one based on the C-Class. The One hybrid hypercar is also on the way. You can safely expect that plug-in—which will an F1-inspired powertrain able to generate over 1,000 hp—to almost certainly supplant the GT 63 S as the division’s fastest road car.

This car does look great in this spec and colour. GT53 is nice with these rims.

Yes, that would be the powertrain for the S580 hybrid.
