2023 Mercedes-AMG S63 E PERFORMANCE: The Most Powerful S-Class Ever

Meet the new Mercedes-AMG S63, a hybrid land-yacht making 791hp thanks to F1 technology.  That’s right, seven hundred ninety-one horsepower, making it the most powerful S-Class ever made.  Power is thanks to the newly faithful 4.0 liter biturbo V8, with an added 13.1kWh battery pack (making even more power than the sublime M279 biturbo V12 found in the previous generation S65).

The sprint from 0-60 is quoted at being just 3.2 seconds, which is astonishing.  We’ve been a fan of Mercedes-Benz styling since the mid-2010’s, seeing a common design philosophy throughout the entire carmaker’s range.  This car looks fantastic – being both elegant and aggressive.

As it’s an S-Class, the tech is too much to list, so here are a few quick bullet points, with the full press release linked below:

• Performance hybrid with Formula 1™ technology transfer to new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE
• Improved AMG high-performance battery with 13.1 kWh capacity
• Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine at the front and electric motor at the rear axle for 791 hp combined output – the most powerful S-Class of all time
• Active roll stabilization and active rear-axle steering fitted standard
• AMG-specific radiator grille featured on the performance luxury sedan for the first time
