Mercedes-AMG refreshed the GT63 S E Performance 4-Door Coupe in late 2023. It received a minor styling makeover while retaining the potent hybrid powertrain before going on sale in summer 2024.

You'll still find a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine up front, which pairs to a single electric motor on the rear axle and the nine-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission. The engine makes 630 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, but combined output is a staggering 831 hp and 1,032 lb-ft. All-wheel drive and the AMG Ride Control+ suspension are standard.

Mercedes claims the sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 197 mph. Stopping power comes from standard carbon-ceramic brakes, with six-piston calipers clamping onto 16.5-inch front discs, while single-piston calipers grab the 15.0-inch rears.

The electric motor makes a continuous 94 hp but can crank out 201 hp for 10-second bursts. The 6.1-kilowatt-hour battery (4.8 kWh usable) and motor can propel the vehicle up to 87 mph, but Mercedes doesn't say how far. The company notes that it designed the battery for power, not range, so don't expect to save any pennies at the pump.

The sedan arrives stateside with the latest styling we saw over a year ago, featuring a tweaked face and other minor updates. Inside, the sedan has the latest MBUX software, and it comes with the AMG Performance steering wheel standard.

We should learn the car's price closer to its on-sale date, which Mercedes hasn't announced yet. We wouldn’t be shocked if it cost around $200,000 to start.
