    Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance Revealed As 791 HP (590 kW) Super Luxury Saloon

    It is no secret that Mercedes electric movement is gathering steam but they are not abandoning their thundering V8 engines just yet.

    Say hello to the Mercedes-AMG S 63 E-Performance, which storms into the market with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain and bespoke chassis tuning.

    Styling-wise you get a  new grille with vertical slats and beefier bumpers. Typical of an AMG, four tailpipes have been integrated into the rear apron, and deeper side sills provide it with more presence.

    The most powerful S-Class ever packs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and a rear-axle-mounted electric motor. The total output is a healthy 791 horsepower (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm (1,055 lb-ft). This gets the sedan to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds despite weighing in at 2,595kg. The top speed with the Driver’s Package is an impressive 290 km/h (180 mph).

    Drive is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed multi-clutch transmission, and at the rear, there’s an electronically controlled limited-slip differential and an additional two-speed gearbox. This shifts into its higher ratio at around 140 km/h (87 mph) to improve the efficiency of the electric motor, and the combustion engine can be decoupled to minimise drivetrain losses.

    There are seven drive modes ranging from pure-electric mode to Sport +, which ramps up the steering, suspension and power delivery for maximum aggression.

    The engineers have kitted out the range-topping S-Class with active engine mounts, a reinforced bodyshell and air suspension that features adaptive dampers. The system can tweak compression and rebound settings at all four corners on the move, and for extra stability at speed, the ride height drops by 10 mm above 120 km/h (75 mph).

    Upgraded composite brakes are equipped as standard, although lighter ceramic items are available at extra cost.

    Inside it is a typical S-Class apart from some AMG logos and bespoke trim materials dotted around the cabin.

    Pricing has not yet been announced but you can bet it will be a big number.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
