Mercedes-AMG just revealed its fastest accelerating car to date, the AMG GT 63 S E Performance. Boasting an incredible sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, this high-performance hybrid made its debut at the Chinese Grand Prix.

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.

Mercedes-AMG didn't stop at performance enhancements; they also equipped the GT 63 S E Performance with cutting-edge technologies like semi-active roll stabilization and active rear-steering for superb handling. Notably, the exterior boasts new trapezoidal tailpipes and 'E Performance' badges, emphasizing its hybrid nature alongside practical design choices like a plug-in loading flap.

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."
