Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door with 725 HP

The German tuner Mariani presented a package of equipment and improvements for the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door, which makes this powerful sedan more aerodynamic and more powerful.

The car is equipped with an adjustable suspension that allows the car to be 55 mm closer to the ground, a more aggressive rear diffuser, a new exhaust system made of high-quality stainless steel, and tailpipes, while retaining the original shock absorbers and E-Active Body Control system.

Under the hood has seen the most change. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 725 hp (533 kW) and 700 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase over the standard GT 63 4-Door which has 577 hp (424 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), while the more powerful GT 63 S 4-Door has 630 hp (463 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on a set of 21 or 22-inch rims.

However, this upgraded Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door is weaker than the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance. This powerful hybrid is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 843 hp (629 kW) and 1,084 lb-ft (1,400 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (316 km/h).

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.
