About the Mercedes-AMG S 63 W223
The W223-generation Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance marks a radical shift for the flagship, adopting a P3 plug-in hybrid layout inspired by Formula 1. It pairs the familiar 4.0-litre biturbo V8 with a rear-mounted electric motor and a 13.1 kWh high-performance battery, delivering a staggering 1,055 lb-ft of torque. Despite weighing nearly 2.6 tonnes, it offers surprising agility thanks to standard active roll stabilisation, rear-axle steering, and sophisticated air suspension. It remains a pinnacle of executive luxury, featuring the Panamericana grille for the first time on an S-Class sedan and an interior defined by the MBUX Hyperscreen and peerless refinement.
