The plug-in-hybrid powertrain bestows the supersedan with 791 horsepower and 1055 pound-feet of torque.
It's entirely possible to train an elephant to dance; the real trick is getting it to want to. Not that we're comparing theto the world's largest and strongest land-roving mammal, but since the car weighs in at an estimated 5500 pounds, measures 17.5 feet long, and packs nearly 800 horsepower, a certain similarity is undeniable. Our sample car's Selenite Grey Magno satin paint only encourages the analogy.Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.
in the 1970s. But even the most robust species needs to evolve; for the S63 E Performance, that means the addition of an electric motor and an F1-derived battery to the S63's 4.0-liter 603-hp twin-turbo V-8. Together they're good for a claimed 791 horsepower.AMG makes it clear that the focus of the S63's hybrid powertrain is "less on electric range and more on best-in-class performance.
You engage Launch mode by selecting the Sport+ drive mode, applying the brake firmly, and matting the accelerator; sidestep the brake, and the S63 steps off with an uninterrupted burst of acceleration that defies the vehicle's heft. Mercedes-AMG claims a 60-mph sprint in just 3.2 seconds. Note that the 2018 S63 sedan carried a 3.4-second 60-mph estimate; we managed to shave three-tenths off that estimate in our testing that model, giving us reason to think a sub-3.
Stay in the throttle, and the electric motor's two-speed transmission at the rear axle shifts imperceptibly into second gear at 87 mph, with the electric motor spinning at about 13,500 rpm before the shift. The two ratios play a significant role in optimizing maximum torque for low- and high-speed situations. Although the motor's full blast of torque is available from idle, it does taper off at higher rpm, according to AMG. Top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph.
The interior includes the usual S-class opulence funneled through the AMG lens. That means infinitely comfortable seating at all four positions, bespoke upholstery and stitching in exclusive colors, and the requisite embossed AMG emblems to remind passengers you spent the big bucks.We found the relatively conservative infotainment screen a stylish and refreshing break from the recent spate of oversized screens and information overload.
