Affalterbach’s engineers, drawing inspiration from Formula 1™, have elevated the everyday road experience with the S 63 E PERFORMANCE. This model stands as the most potent S-Class to date, seamlessly merging luxury and comfort with formidable power.
The S 63 immediately commands attention with its AMG-specific grille, a signature element across the brand’s lineup. Jet wing-inspired air inlets and imposing 21-inch AMG forged wheels further accentuate its dynamic “63” lineage. The fluted twin tailpipes boldly declare its performance intentions. Inside, the cabin envelops occupants in Nappa Leather upholstery, complemented by an AMG Performance Steering Wheel and first-class rear cabin appointments. Multicontour seats enhance the luxury environment, meticulously crafted to harmonize with an unwavering focus on performance.
The performance is nothing short of breathtaking. The hybrid synergy between the engine and battery propels this sedan to exhilarating limits. AMG’s E PERFORMANCE system strategically combines a handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 engine at the front with an electric motor positioned at the rear axle. This innovative configuration delivers a staggering combined output of 791 hp and 1,055 lb-ft of torque, enabling the car to surge from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.2 seconds. The electric motor’s rear placement is crucial for generating such immense torque, as it bypasses the 9-speed transmission, directly converting energy into instant forward thrust.
This rear-mounted electric motor not only amplifies torque but also enhances agility and handling. The S 63 E PERFORMANCE exhibits remarkable fluidity, making its immense power surprisingly manageable. Further enhancing the driving dynamics are seven AMG DYNAMIC SELECT modes. These modes empower the driver to tailor the car’s behavior to diverse conditions, ranging from all-electric cruising to unleashing maximum performance in “Sport+” mode. Drivers can also fine-tune energy recuperation through four distinct levels. This control spans from maximizing “one-pedal” driving efficiency to minimizing resistance for effortless coasting.
Regardless of the chosen driving mode, the S 63 E PERFORMANCE delivers an unparalleled driving sensation, distinctly different from any previous experience. It redefines the boundaries of luxury performance sedans, offering a unique blend of electrified power and AMG’s signature driving dynamics.
