The heart of the AMG S 63 is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, augmented by a 13.1kWh battery and an electric motor positioned on the rear axle. The electric motor contributes 188bhp and 320Nm to the total output, which peaks at an astonishing 791bhp and 1,430Nm. Inspired by Formula 1 technology, the battery system supports this impressive performance.

A 9-speed automatic gearbox distributes power across all four wheels through the 4Matic system, enhanced with a 'Race Start' function for optimized launches. Mercedes claims the AMG S 63 can sprint from 0-100kph in just 3.3 seconds. It also features eight drive modes, including an all-electric mode that offers a range of up to 33km.
