CARSCOOPS:The long-awaited Mercedes-AMG GT 63 E Performance has just been unveiled as the most powerful production vehicle from the car manufacturer (other than the F1-powered Project One).
Found at the heart of the super sedan is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that works alongside an electric motor positioned at the rear axle. This motor is integrated with an electrically shifted two-speed transmission and an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential. All up, the GT 63 E Performance pumps out 831 hp and more than 1,023 lb-ft (1,400 Nm) of torque. The car also features a belt-driven starter-generator with 14 hp.
Mercedes-AMG quotes a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph (316 km/h). The car also returns a frugal 27 mpg (8.6 l/100 km).
