Mercedes-AMG has revealed the all-new S63 E Performance, pairing V8 power with an electric motor for a 790bhp output -
. Together the powertrain generates a peak power figure of 790bhp, with torque rated at 1055lb ft. Of those totals, the V8 produces 603bhp, with the electric motor good for 93bhp of continuous output and up to 187bhp in short bursts. In terms of torque, the V8’s 664lb ft is available between 2500rpm and 4500rpm, with 236lb ft coming from the electric motor.
AMG’s electrified rear axle comes with some differences to its battery in both capacity and operation. Unlike the units found in the GT63 and C63 – which both have 6.1kWh of usable storage for a very limited EV range – the S63 upsizes capacity to 13.1kWh giving it a longer range of around 20 miles. The battery pack is one of AMG’s own developments, but doesn’t quite have the explosive energy of the units found in the C63 S and GT63 S E Performances.
The new S63 is so far only available with the short wheelbase body, but even so will hit the scales at 2595kg according to AMG. This doesn’t seem to dent performance times too much though, as it’ll still reach 62mph in just 3.3sec, and continue on to a 155mph or optional 180mph top speed.
Mercedes-AMG has not confirmed UK prices or availability as yet, but we expect it’ll cost a big chunk more than the most expensive short-wheelbase S-class currently available in the UK, the £103,000 S500. The S63 doesn’t really have any direct rivals as it stands, as traditional big fast saloons like
