The AMG GT 63 S E Performance is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine that is aided and abetted by a single electric motor. The AMG GT 63 S E Performance's engine pushes out 843bhp and a tyre-shredding 1,470Nm of peak torque which is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox.

This F1-derived powertrain pushes the AMG GT 63 S E Performance from 0-100km/h in just 2.9 seconds and the 4-door coupe will hit a top speed of 316km/h.

The 6.1kWh battery pack can be used for 12km of electric-only driving and in this mode, the 4-door coupe can hit a top speed of 130km/h.

In terms of its looks, the AMG GT 63 S E Performance takes a regular AMG GT 4-door and turns up the madness dial up to 11. The front end is even more dramatic with an updated front bumper and a much larger splitter element.

Other changes include a new rear bumper, which like the one at the front, is aggressive as it can get. Also seen are the automatically operated rear spoiler, charging port for the EV battery pack and a sporty exhaust setup.
