The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is a new plug-in hybrid version of the GT coupe, revealed during the Formula 1 race weekend in Shanghai. The powertrain consists of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and an e-motor that produces 201 hp, paired with a two-speed transmission and limited-slip differential. The hybrid system's combined output is 805 hp and 1,047 lb-ft of torque.
The battery, which houses at the rear, is a 6.1-kWh lightweight unit with direct cooling for each cell. Mercedes claims the E Performance will hit 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 199 mph.
The cabin and exterior design is fairly similar to that of the standard GT63 coupe, differentiated by minor badge and trim changes. The E Performance also launches the Manufaktur Signature program, which adds special paint options and diamond quilting for the nappa leather interior.
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance will reach the U.S. in late 2024 and is expected to cost more than $200,000.

The article by Christopher Smith contains some inflammatory rhetoric and an appeal to authority, but no formal or dichotomous fallacies are present. The author states that the new Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance is 'technically a plug-in hybrid, but efficiency is not a factor here.' This implies that hybrids are inherently inefficient, which is an inflammatory statement. However, it does not constitute a formal fallacy as it does reflect the author's opinion. The author also states 'Mercedes makes no mention of electric-only range other than to say it will be announced later.' This can be seen as an appeal to authority, as the author is assuming that Mercedes has withheld this information intentionally and that it will not have significant electric-only range. However, this does not constitute a formal fallacy either.
]Technically a plug-in hybrid, but efficiency is not a factor here.[
Mercedes makes no mention of electric-only range other than to say it will be announced later.
It is a plug-in hybrid with a combined power output of 805 horsepower and 1047 pound-feet of torque from its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and electric motor.
It has a unique Formula 1-derived cooling system located in the rear for weight distribution.
The battery pack does not have an electric range estimate but is expected to cover a similar amount of ground as the AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4-Door Coupe which can only manage 7 miles.
It features high-performance innovations such as AMG Active Ride Control, active aerodynamics, rear-axle steering, and carbon ceramic brakes as standard equipment.
The powertrain consists of a twin-turbo V-8 engine paired with a rear-mounted electric motor.
The e-motor sends power to the wheels through a two-speed transmission and limited-slip differential, and can also send power to the front wheels for extra traction.
The battery pack is a 6.1-Wh AMG-specific unit that lives above the rear axle and has a direct cooling system.
Mercedes claims the coolant used in the battery can store more thermal energy than water-based systems and has a heat capacity two to three times higher.
The E Performance model goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 199 mph.

Rear axle steering is standard for better stability under high-speed cornering and nimbleness in tight spaces.

The author makes several claims about the performance of the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance, but does not provide any evidence or reasoning to support these claims. This is an example of an appeal to authority fallacy, as the author is relying on Mercedes' claims without providing any evidence or reasoning of their own. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used to describe the car as a 'beast' and 'hybrid V-8 powertrain,' which is not a logical argument but rather an emotional appeal. However, no formal fallacies were found in the text.
] Mercedes claims a zero-to-60-mph sprint of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 199 mph.[
The new E Performance model has a hybrid setup that takes inspiration from proven technology used in the world’s top open-wheel race cars.
Mercedes claims the coolant they developed can store more thermal energy than water-based systems and has a heat capacity two to three times higher.
It has a hybrid V8 powertrain setup with two electric motors and a battery for a total of 805bhp and 1,047lb ft of torque.
The e-motor provides up to 200 horses silently to the rear axle or front-axle via AWD.
It features semi-active roll stabilisation on the active dampers and active rear-steering.

The article contains an appeal to authority when it states 'Revealed at the Chinese GP – no doubt where Merc-AMG’s F1 team might have been considering running it instead of the troubled W15' and 'There’s a tonne of AMG tech thrown into the new GT LongName, like semi-active roll stabilisation on the active dampers, and active rear-steering. There’s active aero of course, hidden in the underbody and not-so-hidden on the rear as an extendable rear spoiler.' These statements are implying that because Mercedes F1 team might have considered using it instead of their troubled car or that AMG has thrown a tonne of tech into the new GT LongName, it makes the car better or more reliable which is not necessarily true.

There’s a tonne of AMG tech thrown into the new GT LongName, like semi-active roll stabilisation on the active dampers, and active rear-steering. There’s active aero of course, hidden in the underbody and not-so-hidden on the rear as an extendable rear spoiler.
