TheStraightPipes gave the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance a positive review with an OctaneScore of 70/100, praising its exceptional design and driving technology, including a drift mode that makes it fully rear-wheel drive and an adaptive air suspension with active roll control that keeps the car flat through corners. The performance dimension shines with 831 horsepower and 1,084 pound-feet of torque delivering violent launch acceleration and composed cornering, while the design earns perfect marks for the thoughtful infotainment layout and bold white steering wheel. However, the plug-in hybrid's 15 km electric range and $245,000+ Canadian price tag are significant compromises, and reviewers noted the trunk hump from the battery reduces cargo space and the brake pedal feel is slightly odd. This car is for wealthy enthusiasts who prioritize exhilarating performance and cutting-edge tech over practicality and electric efficiency.
