The power behind the AMG GT 63 S lies in its advanced hybrid engine. The 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and the AMG Electric Drive Unit together generate a system output of 600 kW (816 hp) and a maximum torque of up to 1,420 Nm. The rapid acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and the top speed of 320 km/h underline the powerful performance.
This model is not only about raw power but also advanced driving technology. It includes a two-speed gearbox connected to an electric motor that enhances acceleration by shifting power between axles based on traction needs. The car offers eight driving modes, ranging from Electric to Race, altering everything from gearbox settings to damping and even steering noise.

Michael Schiebe, head of AMG, stated at the unveiling, "From zero to 100 in 2.8 seconds – no AMG series model has ever sprinted that fast before. The GT 63 S E Performance combines enormous performance with a very dynamic driving experience and thus creates pure goosebumps."
