The 2023 Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance arrives as the latest plug-in hybrid sport sedan from the German brand. The result is the most powerful S-Class ever available from the automaker.

Plug-In Hybrid Power

S 63 E Performance’s heart is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and a rear-axle-mounted electric motor. The total output is a healthy 791 horsepower (590 kilowatts) and 1,055 pound-feet (1,430 Newton-meters). This gets the sedan to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in an estimated 3.2 seconds. In the United States, the AMG Driver’s Package is a standard feature to provide a top speed of 180 mph (290 kph). In Europe, this upgrade is an option, and the car runs out of steam at 155 mph (250 kph) without it.
