What are the primary AMG® S 63 E PERFORMANCE specs?
791 horsepower and 1,055 lb-ft of torque. The mechanical architecture pairs a Handcrafted AMG® 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine with a rear-mounted 140kW permanently synchronous electric motor and a 13.1-kWh ultra-lightweight high-performance battery. Together, this configuration routes power through an AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9-speed automatic transmission for maximum track capability.
How fast is the 0 to 60 mph acceleration time?
3.0 seconds when properly equipped. The hybrid powertrain catapults the heavy sedan with immediate acceleration. This is bolstered by the AMG® Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system, which continuously distributes variable torque between the front and rear axles to optimize launching traction.
What is the benefit of active rear-axle steering?
It shrinks the turning circle to a tight 40.6 feet. This performance model comes standard with active rear-axle steering, which allows the rear wheels to turn up to 3 degrees. At low speeds, they turn opposite to the front wheels for effortless parking in downtown Milwaukee. At highway speeds, they turn in unison with the front wheels to maximize stability during lane changes.
What is the fuel economy rating?
46 MPGe in the city and 53 MPGe on the highway. Thanks to the plug-in hybrid architecture, this high-performance machine achieves impressive efficiency. You can verify these efficiency metrics on the official EPA fuel economy database.
What chassis upgrades are included to manage the power?
An adaptive, self-leveling 4-wheel multilink suspension featuring AMG® RIDE CONTROL. This layout mitigates body roll dynamically without sacrificing the legendary ride quality expected of a premium long-wheelbase cruiser. It also features a sport-tuned braking system designed to resist thermal fade under heavy stopping loads.
How much cargo capacity is retained in the trunk?
Exactly 10.7 cubic feet when properly equipped. The high-performance rear hybrid axle and compact battery configuration require some trunk space. However, this area remains highly practical, easily accommodating custom luggage sets or premium sporting equipment.
What is the electric-only driving range for the AMG® S 63 E PERFORMANCE?
Up to 16 miles when properly equipped. The 13.1-kWh high-performance battery provides enough emissions-free range for short city commutes around Milwaukee before the twin-turbo V8 engine engages.
How long does it take to charge the hybrid battery?
Less than three hours. Utilizing a standard Level 2 charging station, the on-board 3.7-kW AC charger replenishes the battery from 10 percent to 100 percent. This allows you to quickly top off the battery between track sessions or daily errands.
Does the high-performance braking system feature regenerative technology?
Yes, a multi-stage AMG® regenerative braking system is standard. This technology recovers kinetic energy as you slow down to recharge the hybrid battery, reducing brake pad wear while extending your electric driving capability.
Are the AMG® performance seats standard in this flagship model?
Yes, multicontour AMG® performance seats with exclusive Nappa leather upholstery are standard. These premium seats feature rapid heating, active ventilation, and therapeutic massage programs to keep you comfortable and supported during high-speed cornering or long Wisconsin highway drives.
What driving modes are available in the AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT system?
Seven distinct driving programs are available. These modes include Electric, Comfort, Battery Hold, Sport, Sport+, Slippery, and an Individual setting. This system allows you to instantly alter the suspension stiffness, steering weight, and throttle response to match the current weather or your driving mood.
