The S-Class from Mercedes-AMG - Perfect synthesis of comfort and dynamics with E PERFORMANCE

The S-Class has always played an important role for Mercedes-AMG. More than 50 years ago, the founders already proved that they could transform a luxury sedan into a very sporty vehicle with a Swabian spirit of innovation. The performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach set its first milestone in 1971 with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG. Today, the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE with AMG hybrid technology is once again the benchmark in the segment. The E PERFORMANCE model combines the AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine with the AMG-specific hybrid powertrain and a new expansion stage of the AMG High Performance Battery (HPB). The new HPB 150 is based on the high-performance and directly cooled battery cells of the familiar HPB 80. The energy content increases from 6.1 in the HPB 80 to 13.1 kWh in the HPB 150, increasing the purely electric range to 33 kilometers. However, the focus of the powertrain is less on electric range and more on best-in-class performance. With 590 kW (802 hp) system output and 1,430 Nm system torque, the sedan sets new standards in the segment. Acceleration of 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h and an optional top speed of 290 km/h underscore its superior, dynamic driving performance. Systems such as the AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension, AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL roll stabilization and standard rear-axle steering ensure a wide spread between driving dynamics and comfort.
