    Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance Plug-in Hybrid Revealed Packing 831 HP (620 kW)

    Finally, we can announce the range-topping Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door coupé and although it does not get the 73 moniker we thought it would, it does get a ridiculous 831 hp (620 kW) from a plug-in hybrid setup.

    Say hello to the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance which is AMG’s very first plug-in hybrid, and undoubtedly the first of many to come.

    As the title suggests, the 4-door hybrid packs a lot of power. The combination of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8, a 6.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and an electric motor mounted on the rear axle gives this car a mind-bending 831 hp (620 kW) and ludicrous 1,400 Nm (1,033 lb-ft) of torque. To put it plainly, this is the most powerful Mercedes-AMG factory product ever.

    The team worked closely with the Mercedes F1 team to create a powerful but lightweight battery pack. The battery comes in at 89 kg and delivers 204 hp (152 kW) on its own. In this application, the purpose of the battery is for power as opposed to the range so it can only manage a rather measly 12 km (7.5 mile) electric driving range.

    Bury your foot to the floor and the large AMG will hit 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds which will leave the GT Black Series off the line (3.1 seconds). Even more immense is the fact that it will hit 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10 seconds and if you have the opportunity to test you will top out at 315 km/h (196 mph).

    Like other GT 4-door models, this gets Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Race modes but for this variant, there is also a new Slippery mode. This is the new Electric drive mode that allows the S E Performance to cruise on pure battery power at speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph). On top of that, there’s a four-stage regenerative braking system that ranges from Level 0 (disengaged) to Level 3 (one-pedal driving), with a track-only regenerative mode designed for performance.

    Visually it is pretty hard to tell you are looking at the S E Performance model but there are a few updated visuals to note. The front bumper has taken styling cues from the GT coupe, there is a charging port found on the rear bumper just below the taillights, and there are new 20- and 21-inch wheel options. The badge at the rear is also outlined in red while the badge under the side vents tells you exactly what you are looking at with “E Performance” added to the V8 Biturbo badging.

    The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance debuts in-person next week at the IAA Show in Munich.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
