Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE performance: the most powerful AMG ever is the compact hybrid – News – Hybrid and Electric Cars

from Mercedes-AMG They actually put us in the know only a few days ago. On September 1, its first model with built-in hybrid technology will be presented. Kind of the most efficient of which we thought we knew all or most of its details and characteristics, something we were very wrong about. There were many delays that this model experienced until it was finally able to see the green light, but these delays may be fully justified, because the mathematical model is able to attract our attention, in addition to its aesthetics that we already know so well, for The real benefits of a heart attack.

In the first place, the use of the name Mercedes-AMG 73 e was finally ignored, as initially expected, and eventually will be called Mercedes AMG 63 SE performance. This asphalt monster was presented to the public today in digital form, but it will be in a few days, during the celebration of the Munich Motor Show, that we can see the model from a first-person perspective. Once again, tuned under the tireless leadership of AMG’s engineers, this model raised its power to a level beyond what we initially expected, and thus became the most powerful production model to date. With the permission of the Almighty Mercedes-AMG one.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE’s performance aesthetics are virtually unchanged.

As we discussed a few days ago, back in April, the same brand announced what some of its data would be. At first we had 816 hp, but from Mercedes-AMG they managed to tighten the nuts a little more in this sporty saloon, This number raised to 843 stratospheric CVs. A number that does not yet fall within the margins of many current supercars. In fact, to this day, there is no competitor at its height, because the closest thing would be the Porsche Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid, but it is several steps below in terms of power.

Aesthetically, the differences are practically minimal with what we already know. applied to the forehead More generous air intakes, providing more character for the model, some new Selected frame groups For this version 20 and 21 inches, while on the back, in addition to the special model designation, we will find In bumper electrical socket, a somewhat questionable place for his position vulnerable to blows. Finally, here we also have the classic four exhausts of the AMG-signed models, as well as a carbon-fiber diffuser (we imagine this would be an unaffordable option).

As we can see, the changes are minor in terms of aesthetics. Inside we find an environment that practically follows the model we already know, Integration of a double-spoke steering wheel as a novelty Which already showed the Mercedes E-Class and S-Class for the first time, but here it adopts a more sporty aesthetic with the driving mode selectors in the lower area. The rest of this space remains unchanged, Find updates only in the infotainment system and instrument cluster, to adapt to the vehicle’s new powertrain.

At the back, the electric charging socket protrudes.

The Mercedes-AMG 63 SE Performance includes new driving modes we already know, leaving us with a total of 7 different modes: “Electric”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport +”, “Race”, “Slippery”, “Individual”. The latter mentioned is the one with full customization capabilities by the driver, the ability to achieve the greatest benefits or become a fully electric and discreet car.

The electrical autonomy of this device will be 12 kilometers thanks to its 6.1 kWh battery. It’s not a number that could surprise us, given that most plug-in hybrids focus on providing a much larger electric path. This is because Mercedes-AMG 63 SE Performance has chosen to provide the model with a performance improvement. The maximum speed at which it is possible to ride in electric mode is up to 130 km / h, and it has a regenerative braking system of up to 4 operating levels.

We saved the main thing for the latter, which is that all the prestige of this car is taken from its mechanics. We meet again with a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 of a displacement capable of delivering on its own, with a total of 640 hp between 5500 and 6500 rpm. That is why we must add An electric train located on the rear axle generates 204 horsepower and has a two-speed gearbox. The result of this entire equation is 843 hp and 1400 Nm of maximum torque, thanks to this data, It will smash a stopwatch from 0-100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds It will reach a top speed of 316 km/h.

The interior is practically unchanged.

As I said, this will be presented to the public during the celebration of the upcoming Munich Motor Show, and It will be marketed during the first half of the next 2.022 At a price that has not yet been determined, but we can expect that it will not be available for all types of pockets.
