Mercedes S 63 E-Performance (2024) - Sound, interior and Exterior

Thanks: BigTimeAuto

2024 Mercedes-AMG S63
Starting at $190.000 est

Highs: Lightning-quick acceleration, opulent interior finishings, handles like a much smaller sedan.
Lows: Short electric-only range, regenerative braking system lacks true one-pedal drive mode, eye-popping price tag.
Verdict: With sports car performance and luxury car comfort, the S63 represents the peak of AMG engineering.

Overview
It missed a year of production, but the AMG S63 supersedan is back in a major way. Making use of the Mercedes-Benz S-class’s seventh-generation architecture, the S63 brings the glitz with more go than ever thanks to a new plug-in hybrid powertrain. Mercedes has dropped the previously offered coupe and convertible body styles and will offer the S63 as a sedan only, at least for now. Under the bonnet sits a familiar twin-turbo V-8 that, with the help of AMG’s rear electric motor, now produces a combined 791 horsepower and an astounding 1055 pound-feet of torque for its all-wheel drive system to try to put to the road. To ensure the S63 can get to speeds high enough to escape rising interest rates, AMG will allow its big-battery luxury sedan to reach speeds up to 180 mph. As a chariot for the wealthy with maximum performance in mind, the new AMG S63 is a quick and comfy way to usher in the industry’s electrified future.

What's New for 2024?

After a short hiatus, the AMG-badged S-class makes its grand re-entry to the prestige-on-wheels class using the bones from the current production Benz S-class mated with a promising high-power hybrid powertrain.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
For a long time, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has worked to develop a high-performance battery that could deliver consistent performance at the highest level of motorsports. Now folks who drive on the road bear the fruit of these efforts with the new hybridized powertrain found in the AMG S63 E Performance. The most powerful S-class ever offered is propelled by a 603-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine up front, with help from a 188-hp motor for the rear axle. Their combined efforts produce 791 horsepower and 1055 pound-feet of torque for the sedan’s all-wheel-drive system to process. A nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (while a two-speed transmission is integrated at the rear axle for the electric motor) handles shifting and, to help this barge of power navigate traffic and parking spots, AMG includes rear-axle steering as standard equipment. We estimate that the S63 can make it to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. That’s quicker than the feistiest version of the standard Benz S-class, which took 3.9 seconds to reach 60 mph in our testing. Given the massive power available to hurl it down the road, we suspect the that S63 E Performance will be even quicker than its maker claims. The S63 uses an AMG Ride Control air suspension, AMG Active Ride Control stabilization, and rear-axle steering as standard equipment which makes the S63 feel easy to maneuver.
