2023 Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance is a hybrid with 1055 lb-ft of torque.
released earlier this year. Up front you'll find AMG's tried and true 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, making 603 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque in this application. It's connected to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission and, at the rear, what Mercedes calls an electric drive unit. The unit consists of an electric motor where the rear axle would normally sit, stuffed with an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. It's powered by a 13.
If drive modes are your thing, you'll like the S 63 E Performance. The big four-door has no fewer than seven: Electric, Comfort, Battery Hold, Sport, Sport+, Slippery, and Individual. Most of them are fairly self-explanatory, save for Battery Hold mode, which can keep the battery charged while still running both the gas and electric motors. From Mercedes:
The combustion engine and electric motor run situationally, as in the"Comfort" driving mode. The biggest difference is the operating strategy keeps the battery state of charge constant. For example, if the battery is at 75 percent charge, it remains in this range in"Battery Hold." Use of the electric motor is then limited and optimized for low power consumption, which is compensated for by recuperation.
As with any new S-Class, the S 63 E Performance is stuffed with all the latest tech. The long list includes active distance assist, active steering assist, traffic sign assist, active lane keeping assist, active lane change assist, active emergency stop assist, attention assist, cross-traffic alerts, active blind spot assist, and even evasive steering assist, which Mercedes says can"support" drivers when they're trying to avoid someone or something else in the road.
