The brand new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Efficiency is 0.1 seconds quicker than the Mercedes-AMG One
After the introduction of the 4-cylinder and V8 variations, Mercedes presents the highest model of the Mercedes-AMG GT. The brand new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Efficiency is supplied with the P3 PHEV system from the AMG SL 63 S E Efficiency and AMG S 63 S E Efficiency and develops 816 PS and 1,080-1,420 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 kph in simply 2.8 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than the Mercedes-AMG One.

The completely excited electrical motor on the rear is coupled with an electrically switched two-speed transmission and a mechanical rear-axle limited-slip differential. The PHEV system’s 6.1 kWh Li-Ion battery is situated above the rear axle and offers an electrical vary of 13 km. The electrical motor drives the rear axle immediately, but when the ESP system detects rear axle slip, a part of the electrical motor’s energy is transferred to the entrance through the PTO shaft. The PHEV system develops 816 PS and between 1,080 and 1,420 Nm in complete.
The automotive comes customary with all-wheel steering and AMG Energetic Journey Management semi-active suspension. The dampers, which have two management valves, one for the rebound section and one for the compression section, have interconnected semi-active hydraulic parts which have changed standard torsion bars and cut back physique roll.
Just like the AMG SL 63 S E Peformance, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Peformance has an energetic aerodynamic component hidden within the flooring in entrance of the combustion engine.

The energetic spoiler additionally has 5 completely different positions from 80 kph, relying on the chosen driving program.
The motive force can select between eight driving applications: “Electrical’” “Battery Maintain”, “Consolation”, “Slippery”, “Sport”, “Sport+’, “Race”, and “Particular person”. These may be accessed utilizing the AMG button and the central show within the heart console or through the AMG steering wheel buttons. The motive force may go for 4 levels of power restoration utilizing the proper AMG steering wheel button.
Styling variations from the remainder of the vary
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Efficiency comes with a number of parts that differentiate it from the remainder of the vary: Carbon ceramic disc brakes with bronze painted calipers, 6-piston entrance (420 x 40 mm, entrance discs), and 1-piston rear (380 x 32 mm, rear discs) calipers, flap with load port situated on the proper rear beneath the taillight and GT 63 lettering, twin trapezoidal tailpipe and customary 20-inch wheels (295/35 R20 entrance and 305/35 R20 rear tires), with elective 21-inch solid wheels accessible.
