2024 Mercedes AMG GT Concept E Performance

After the presentation of the CLA concept and the announcement of a smaller version of the G-Class, Mercedes presented another car, but this time it is a powerful sports plug-in hybrid, the Mercedes AMG GT Concept E Performance.

The AMG GT Concept E Performance is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-tube engine combined with an electric motor, with a total power of more than 800 hp (588 kW), which is more than the AMG GT Black Series (720 hp). Specifications have not been released, but it should be noted that the GT63 S four-door coupe E Performance with 831 hp (611 kW) and the S63 E Performance with 791 hp (582 kW) have a similar powertrain. It sits on 21″ wheels wrapped in 295/30 ZR 21 Michelin Pilot Sport S tires.

The car attracted the attention of all visitors, and at first glance one cannot notice a big difference compared to the Mercedes-AMG GT. A combination of black and red adorns the exterior of this racer that comes with an optional rear wing and carbon-ceramic brakes with gold brake calipers. The charging port is located on the rear bumper.

Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 and GLC 63 S E Performance

After Mercedes-Benz presented the GLC and GLC Coupe models, the most powerful AMG versions of these models, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 and GLC 63 S E Performance, are coming to the market.

Both models have a new radiator grille, larger air intakes, and more chrome parts on the front end. The back of the GLC 43 has two tailpipes, while the GLC 63 has a square shaped tailpipe. The interior has been significantly improved, with a standard MB-tex and microfiber cabin available, as well as optional Nappa leather with AMG logo on the headrests. There’s also the MBUX system from the base GLC model and the AMG Track Pace integrated into the infotainment system, providing data to the driver if he decides to unleash the SUV’s power on the track.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with an integrated starter generator, and 421 hp (310 kW). Enough to hit 62 mph in 4.8 seconds. At lower speeds, the generator starter provides an additional 14 hp (10 kW). The mild hybrid engine is mated to a nine-speed gearbox and has 4Matic all-wheel drive. Like other AMG models such as the E63, the Speedshift MCT wet-clutch transmission replaced the torque converter. This clutch ensures smoother operation at low speeds as well as better response at full power. In addition, the GLC 43 has rear-axle steering and standard air suspension with adaptive dampers as part of the AMG Ride Control system.

GLC 63 S E Performance is powered by a most powerful turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine (469 hp/345 kW and 400 lb-ft/543 Nm) combined with a rear-mounted electric motor (201 hp/148 kW) for a total power of 671 hp (493 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph). The engine is paired with a nine-speed gearbox and has 4Matic all-wheel drive.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 should hit the market by the end of the year, while the GLC 63 S E Performance will arrive next year as a 2025 model.

P900 based on Mercedes-AMG G63

The Mercedes-AMG G63 is one of the best SUV cars from the German manufacturer, but also a car that many tuners are trying to make better. One of them is Mansory whose latest work P900 is based on this model.

Inspired by the desert, the car is finished in Sand Desert Gloss with contrasting forged carbon parts such as the hood, rear wing and other details. The interior is also decorated with a shade of sand, but it is slightly more orange compared to the exterior. The SUV is mounted on black 24-inch wheels.

The P900 is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 900 hp (661 kW) and 885 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power compared to the standard SUV, which has 585 hp (430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that transmits power to all wheels. It reaches 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

Recently, Mercedes announced that it has produced 500,000 examples of the G-Class since 1979, and on this occasion it presented a retro-looking example. Mercedes will also refresh the current G63 model, and spy photos show the SUV under development, which will have a redesigned front and rear fascia, headlights with new graphics, and the interior could get the latest MBUX infotainment technology.
