The updated version of the Mercedes AMG GT 63 SE Performancethe flagship model of GT serieswith a very powerful hybrid engine, which combines an engine 4.0 V8 Biturbo with 612 HP to a electric motor positioned on the from axis 204 HPfor a total power of 816 HP And 1,420 Nm. The electric unit is powered by a battery 6.1 kWh which allows the sports car to travel in electric mode approximately 13km.
Mercedes AMG GT 63 SE Performance, what changes in the restyling
The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance in this restyling presents a dedicated aesthetic, with specific bumpers and rims, active aerodynamic spoilers designed to improve performance.
The plug-in hybrid sports car is equipped with alloy wheels as standard 20 inch AMG, optimized from an aerodynamic point of view, and tyres 295/35 R20 at the front e 305/35 R20 at the rear.
The bodywork is also characterized by some active aerodynamic elements such as the front splitter and rear spoiler which adapt to the set driving program, optimizing cornering stability and aerodynamic resistance.
The cabin of the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance has been made even sportier, with a driver-focused design and generous interior space thanks to the 2+2 layout of the AMG sports seats. The package Energizing Plus adds seating and lighting functions for additional comfort.
The wide range of coverings includes Nappa leather mono and bicolour, Nappa leather Manufaktur with diamond quilting and combinations of Nappa leather with Microcut microfibre and contrasting stitching yellow or red.
Plug-in hybrid-specific screens have also been introduced in the infotainment system MBUXwhich show the power flow of the drive system, the overall power output and the electric motor temperature.
An important new feature is the button dedicated to driving mode and the four levels of braking energy recovery, which allows you to choose up to the point of driving “one-pedal” for maximum efficiency during decelerations.
Mercedes AMG plug-in hybrid engine
The new AMG GT 63 SE Performance is equipped with an innovative transmission plug-in hybridconsisting of an engine AMG 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 on the front axle and an electric drive unit on the rear axle.
The electrical unit from 150 kW (204 hp) of peak power e 70 kW of continuous power is paired with a two-speed transmission and a mechanical differential limited slip. The lightweight, high-performance battery is positioned above the rear axle, improving weight and load distribution on the vehicle.
The electric motor acts directly on the rear axle, giving a additional thrust during acceleration and transferring power to the front wheels when necessary. The integral transmission AMG Performance 4MATIC+ allows the mechanical connection between the front and rear axles.
There 400 volt AMG battery it is cooled individually for each cell, using a non-flammable liquid with high thermal capacity and is recharged via an on-board battery charger 3.7 kW with alternating current.
F1 plug-in hybrid drive
The operational strategy of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance is inspired by the hybrid control unit of the racing car Mercedes-AMG Formula 1guaranteeing maximum propulsion when necessary, such as when accelerating out of corners or overtaking. L'electric energy it is always accessible thanks to on-demand recovery and charging. The eight AMG Dynamic Select driving programs adapt parameters such as transmission and steering response.
Silent startup mode “Silent Mode” and four-step recovery contribute to efficiency, while you can select four levels of recovery via the button on the AMG steering wheel. The system also allows driving “with just one pedal” and acts as an engine brake during steep descents.
Chassis and brake characteristics
Suspension is standard on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance AMG Active Ride Control with semi-active roll stabilization and adaptive dampers, equipped with interconnected semi-active hydraulic elements. These components replace the traditional transverse torsion bar stabilizers, reducing body roll movements and improving driving dynamics. The system actively regulates the loss of camber when cornering, ensuring precise and comfortable driving. Furthermore, the active rear axle steering improves the vehicle's agility and stability.
The high-performance composite braking system AMG ceramicincluded as standard, provides 6-piston fixed calipers at the front e 1-piston floating calipers on the back, colored in bronze. The carbon-ceramic brake discs are larger than in the AMG GT models with pure combustion engines: 420×40 mm on the front axle e 380×32 mm on the rear axle.
Price, how much does the AMG GT plug-in hybrid cost
The price of this plug-in hybrid AMG super sports car will be more than 230,000 euros. Orders will open in the coming weeks.
