[0:00] This is the new 2026
[0:04] Mercedes AMG GT63
[0:07] Eperformance four-door, which is a
[0:10] laughably long name. So, here's a
[0:13] summary. This is one of the fastest,
[0:15] most insane, coolest, best driving
[0:18] four-door cars in existence. It has
[0:21] around $830
[0:23] horsepower and a sticker price of more
[0:26] than $200,000.
[0:28] And today I'm going to review this car
[0:31] and show you all of its quirks and
[0:33] features.

[1:15] All right, time for the quirks and
[1:17] features of the Mercedes AMG GT63S
[1:23] e-performance
[1:24] four-door. This car, the AMG GT
[1:28] four-door, came out back in 2019, and it
[1:31] was intended to be like a more practical
[1:34] variant of the AMG GT exotic sports car
[1:38] that Mercedes was making at the time.
[1:40] Now, sadly, the name is pretty stupid.
[1:43] Even AMG GT is kind of silly cuz AMG is
[1:48] a lot of cars and GT is used in
[1:51] basically everything. And then they
[1:52] tacked on four-door because they
[1:55] couldn't say sedan. This is actually a
[1:57] hatchback. Sedan doesn't work. So you
[1:59] got four-door. It doesn't work great.
[2:02] And then now this version is the 63
[2:05] performance. So that's the full name.
[2:08] It's ridiculous. BMW has M5. Mercedes
[2:12] has AMG GT63
[2:16] performance four-door. It really rolls
[2:18] right off the tongue. Thankfully,
[2:20] despite the naming situation, this car
[2:24] is amazing. I first reviewed the AMG
[2:28] GT63 four-door back when it came out
[2:31] almost exactly 7 years ago. And at the
[2:33] time, I considered it to be one of the
[2:36] best handling, best driving four-door
[2:38] cars I had ever experienced. It was
[2:42] fantastic. Now, since then, Mercedes has
[2:46] expanded the lineup and they've added
[2:48] some more affordable kind of lesser
[2:50] models. The GT53 and then the GT43. And
[2:53] for a brief period, the four-door GT63
[2:57] actually disappeared completely from
[3:00] this car's lineup. But now, it's back
[3:02] and there's this new eerformance version
[3:05] with insane performance. To explain,
[3:10] check this out. The standard base level
[3:12] GT43 has about 360 horsepower which is
[3:17] pretty good. From there you can step up
[3:19] to the GT53 which has about 430
[3:23] horsepower. That's very respectable.
[3:25] Then from there, you can step up to the
[3:28] GT63
[3:30] four-door. And that one has about 575
[3:34] horsepower. And that's serious muscle.
[3:37] But it doesn't even compare to the GT63S
[3:41] with E performance. This car, which has
[3:45] 830
[3:47] horsepower and around 1,50
[3:51] pound feet of torque, it is a menace.
[3:54] Now, the powertrain is Mercedes twin
[3:57] turbo 4 L V8 and a lot of different AMG
[4:00] models, but here it's also made it to a
[4:03] plugin hybrid powertrain. So, this car
[4:06] has all-wheel drive and giant power from
[4:10] the engine and the electric stuff. The
[4:13] result is 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds, which
[4:18] is massively crazy. Now, you're probably
[4:21] thinking, "Okay, but it's bulky. It's
[4:23] probably a big heavy peg of a car. And
[4:25] indeed, at 4,800 lb, this isn't light.
[4:29] But it still manages to be 600 lb
[4:33] lighter than the new BMW M5, the sedan,
[4:37] and lighter still than the M5 Touring,
[4:41] the wagon version. And it has more power
[4:44] than anything. The M5 tops out around
[4:47] 720 horsepower. Again, this is at 830.
[4:51] The top level Panamera you can get right
[4:53] now is 770 horsepower. Again, this is
[4:57] 830. The Audi RS6 right now has 620
[5:01] horsepower. Pretty good. But yeah, this
[5:04] is 830. Only the Porsche TYON has more
[5:07] power. There's a version with over 900
[5:10] horsepower, but of course that's full
[5:13] electric. This is basically the most
[5:15] powerful car you can get with four doors
[5:18] and an engine in today's world. If you
[5:21] want to maximize your practicality and
[5:24] your performance, not go electric, get a
[5:26] big old V8, this is the top dog, king of
[5:31] the hill right now. This car even has
[5:33] more power than the new Lamborghini Urus
[5:36] SE, which is Lamborghini. They're trying
[5:39] to maximize all the power, make it
[5:42] crazy. This thing beats it out. But
[5:46] before you go thinking it's an
[5:48] environmenting disaster with a big V8
[5:51] and all its power, keep in mind it's
[5:53] also a plug-in hybrid. And so it has a
[5:56] full electric mode and a very generous
[5:59] driving range of eight electric miles.
[6:04] Anyway, next up on to the quirks and
[6:06] features. And let's start on the
[6:07] outside. I think this car looks great.
[6:11] It's a great job of turning an
[6:12] attractive coupe, the regular AMG GT,
[6:15] into an attractive four-door car that
[6:18] looks like a coupe. In fact, the Porsche
[6:20] Panamera has now been on sale for more
[6:22] than 15 years. But I think that after
[6:25] all the attempts to make the Panamera
[6:27] attractive and change it and design it
[6:30] better, this still looks better. An
[6:33] aggressive, muscular, very cohesive
[6:35] design that just looks nice from
[6:38] basically all angles. I especially love
[6:40] the flared out hips and back over the
[6:42] rear wheel arches. Just really makes
[6:44] this car look special and aggressive and
[6:46] muscular. It is cool. Now, I will say
[6:50] few things are a bit over the top. Maybe
[6:53] I wouldn't do the giant rear wing.
[6:56] Although, that's what you get if you
[6:58] choose the top model, the 63SE
[7:01] Performance four-door. You get a big old
[7:02] wing cuz you're getting the highest
[7:05] performance. You also get massive carbon
[7:08] ceramic brakes. You can see with these
[7:09] big gold calipers that really shout
[7:13] performance. One interesting thing I'm
[7:15] surprised by is the fender vent, which
[7:18] looks both cheap and fake. I wouldn't
[7:21] really expect to see something like that
[7:23] on a car like this at this level. Not
[7:26] really the most attractive, but it's
[7:28] fine. Just a little bit of a complaint
[7:30] there. Speaking of badging, an
[7:32] interesting component of this car is in
[7:33] back where you can see the GT63
[7:37] badge is trimmed in red, outlined all
[7:40] around. That's because this is an
[7:41] e-performance car with the plug-in
[7:43] hybrid powertrain. So, they take your
[7:45] standard AMG badges and they give them
[7:47] red trim to signify the plug-in hybrid
[7:50] boost. Also interesting in back, you can
[7:53] see integrated into the bumper, there's
[7:55] a little cutout panel. Looks like a fuel
[7:58] door. That's actually the charge port
[8:00] for the e-performance component of the
[8:03] car, the plug-in hybrid powertrain in
[8:05] the rear bumper. Kind of an odd spot,
[8:07] but that's where it is. Also unusual,
[8:10] this car, of course, is the color. This
[8:13] bright green flat color. It's called
[8:17] green hell Magno, named after the
[8:19] Nurburg Rings, nickname Green Hell. And
[8:22] it costs around $10,000
[8:25] extra on this car on top of a sticker
[8:28] price that starts right around $200,000.
[8:33] This car starts around 200 grand. You
[8:36] add options, you add this paint color,
[8:38] you're looking at maybe $250, but you're
[8:40] also getting kind of the ultimate
[8:43] four-door performance car in existence.
[8:46] And like the exterior, the interior of
[8:49] the GT63SE Performance four-door is
[8:52] pretty cool. I especially like in the
[8:54] center console the dynamic buttons and
[8:57] switches which have their own screens
[8:59] and change when you press them. It's
[9:01] pretty neat. At the top you can see two
[9:03] switches. On the upper left you have
[9:05] your drive mode and you can switch
[9:07] between it and then the little screen
[9:09] next to the switch actually changes to
[9:10] correspond with the drive mode. On the
[9:12] other side, you have your stereo volume
[9:14] along with a little screen slider that
[9:17] shows exactly how loud you're listening
[9:19] right now. That's a pretty cool feature.
[9:22] But beyond that, the buttons below these
[9:24] switches are also really cool. They
[9:26] change various things about the vehicle
[9:28] performance, various settings like the
[9:30] transmission and other drive mode,
[9:32] suspension, etc. Uh, and when you press
[9:35] each one, it kind of changes dynamically
[9:38] to reflect the setting that you have
[9:40] chosen with your press. And I think it's
[9:43] really cool. It's way cooler than just a
[9:45] regular button you press and a light
[9:47] turns on showing that it's on or
[9:49] whatever. This is a really neat way to
[9:52] do all of these settings grouped in the
[9:54] center console. And this one over on the
[9:56] right with like a little sound graph,
[9:58] that is your exhaust. This car
[10:01] unfortunately doesn't rev when it's in
[10:03] park, so you can't really hear it. But
[10:05] when you have the sport exhaust on, big
[10:07] old V8 sounds pretty cool. And you turn
[10:09] it on with just the tap of that dynamic
[10:11] button. And you have more cool dynamic
[10:14] controls on the steering wheel. You can
[10:16] see kind of hanging off the bottom right
[10:18] of the steering wheel, this little dial
[10:20] adjust your drive mode if you don't want
[10:23] to use the switch in the center console.
[10:24] And again, as you change it, the screen
[10:26] in the center changes its color and what
[10:29] it's displaying to correspond with your
[10:31] selection. Over on the other side, you
[10:33] have a similar control. It's split into
[10:35] two pieces, and you can select what's
[10:37] displayed in the upper half and the
[10:38] lower half, whether it's like the
[10:40] transmission or the exhaust or whatever.
[10:42] You tap on it to change what's
[10:43] displayed, and then you use the little
[10:46] switches next to the display to actually
[10:48] adjust the setting. It's all pretty
[10:50] cool. But back to the center console for
[10:53] an interesting quirk. I think it's kind
[10:54] of funny. The little tiny hazard light
[10:57] button mounted right here in the center.
[10:59] This dainty little button that's
[11:01] actually kind of hard to even find and
[11:03] push to turn on the hazard lights. Now,
[11:05] surrounding that button, you have most
[11:08] of your infotainment controls. The
[11:11] infotainment screen in this car is a
[11:13] full touchcreen, but in case you want to
[11:15] control it from the center console, you
[11:17] can do that with your controls located
[11:19] here. Although, actually, they're not
[11:21] all located here. And it's a bit of a
[11:22] hodgepodge this interior. You can bring
[11:25] up the map here, the radio, your car
[11:26] settings, etc. But if you want to go to
[11:28] the home screen, you got to move down to
[11:31] this pad in the middle where you scroll
[11:33] around and move things. The little home
[11:35] button will bring you there. If you want
[11:37] to pull up the climate screen in the
[11:40] center screen, you have to press menu up
[11:43] here further up, this switch next to the
[11:45] climate controls to pull up the climate
[11:47] menu. So, it's a little bit odd.
[11:49] Although I suspect most people will just
[11:51] adjust the infotainment screen with the
[11:53] touchscreen. That's pretty standard.
[11:56] Now, it is nice to see that your climate
[11:58] controls are mainly separate from the
[12:00] infotainment screen. Even though there
[12:02] is a climate menu in the screen, you can
[12:04] do basically everything using these
[12:06] physical switches down below, which I
[12:08] like to see. Although, if you did have
[12:10] to use the screen, it's a good one. This
[12:12] infotainment system is excellent. Really
[12:14] intuitive, easy to use, easy to figure
[12:16] out, responsive. one of the very best
[12:19] infotainment systems in the entire car
[12:21] industry. I've reviewed it in a lot of
[12:23] Mercedes-Benz models, and I always have
[12:25] great things to say. It works well. And
[12:27] that's also true of the gauge cluster
[12:29] screen, which has just fantastic
[12:31] configurability. You can change it to
[12:33] show a full screen map, dial up
[12:35] different information in different
[12:36] sections, make it exactly configured to
[12:38] what you want. this infotainment screen
[12:41] and gauge screen is a really fantastic
[12:44] display of technology that's pretty
[12:46] modern, pretty configurable, and very
[12:48] easy to use, which is nice to see. Now,
[12:50] with that said, I must say the interior
[12:53] of this car, while it is very nice, top
[12:56] quality materials and a very purposeful
[12:59] look all around, it's also starting to
[13:02] feel maybe just a little bit old,
[13:05] especially compared to something like
[13:06] the new BMW M5, which has a very
[13:09] stylish, modern, kind of crazy interior
[13:12] with a lot of new style and design to
[13:15] look cool and cutting edge. This one is
[13:18] again very nice. top quality materials,
[13:20] carbon fiber stitching, everything looks
[13:22] good, but it's a little more
[13:24] traditional, a little bit more
[13:25] business-like and purposeful, and kind
[13:27] of doesn't have some of that pizzazz and
[13:30] excitement that you see in some more
[13:32] modern rivals. After all, this car is
[13:34] getting to be pretty old, 7, 8 years in
[13:36] production. It isn't quite as new, and
[13:38] that's reflected in the interior design.
[13:41] Now, one other thing to mention up here
[13:43] is the seats, which you can see are
[13:45] these very thickly bolstered sports seat
[13:49] affairs. You have holes in the back rest
[13:51] cut out for a racing harness that can go
[13:54] through these aluminum holes and thick
[13:56] bolstering with the AMG logo imprinted
[13:59] on the headrest. These are some pretty
[14:01] serious sport seats, although they're
[14:03] also surprisingly comfortable that
[14:05] really keep you in place and they
[14:07] provide good support. They're nice
[14:08] seats. With that said, one interesting
[14:10] quirk of the seats, if you go over to
[14:12] the seat controls on the door panel,
[14:13] you'll notice your typical seat
[14:15] controls, which all work just fine,
[14:16] except for the one for the headrest,
[14:19] which is separate. In most cars, that
[14:20] will move the headrest up, down, maybe
[14:22] back, forward. But here, the headrest is
[14:24] part of the seat back. And so, this
[14:27] button actually does nothing. They've
[14:29] included it. They keep it there, I
[14:31] guess, cuz on other models it does
[14:32] something. But here, it's just a blank.
[14:34] It doesn't move, and it has no function.
[14:37] You just get to look at what your
[14:39] headrest button could be if you had
[14:41] different seats. And next we move into
[14:43] the back seat where you'll discover just
[14:45] like up front, you got two very grippy
[14:48] sport seats back here. There's no rear
[14:51] bench or you can seat three across.
[14:52] Instead, two individual bucket seats
[14:55] with tight bolstering where you really
[14:58] get plopped in your seat so that on the
[15:00] racetrack even your rear passengers
[15:02] aren't sliding around under hard
[15:04] cornering. Now, in the center between
[15:06] the seats, you have a couple of kind of
[15:07] unusual items back here. At the front,
[15:09] you got climate vents. Pretty standard
[15:11] stuff. Below that, there's a little
[15:12] panel that you can open up and it
[15:15] reveals a very tiny ashtray and
[15:18] cigarette lighter style outlet for
[15:20] smoking in back. And even these days in
[15:23] a German car, you got to have the
[15:25] ashtrays. Strangely enough, there's also
[15:27] behind a panel a USBA port back here,
[15:31] which I'm not really sure people want,
[15:33] but nonetheless, it's included for the
[15:35] back seat. It's especially odd because
[15:38] in between the seats, you have two USBC
[15:41] ports that are sticking out, very easy
[15:42] to access, which probably most people
[15:44] will prefer, and you have a wireless
[15:46] charging pad for cell phones for rear
[15:49] seat passengers. Again, rendering the
[15:51] USBA port a little bit useless. Now,
[15:54] also between the seats, you can see
[15:55] there are cup holders here along with a
[15:58] little switch with forward and backward
[16:00] arrows. If you flip the switch forward,
[16:02] you can actually pull the cup holders
[16:03] out and instead get a little storage
[16:05] compartment. But if you put the cup
[16:07] holders back and flip the switch
[16:08] backwards towards you, it locks them in
[16:10] place. So, they are officially cup
[16:13] holders. One thing to note, although it
[16:15] is relatively roomy back here, decent
[16:17] space for your head, for your knees,
[16:19] it's got actually good rear seat room.
[16:21] You don't get a rear screen of any kind
[16:25] like you see in other high-end Mercedes
[16:27] models at this price point. Ultimately,
[16:29] this isn't an S-Class, even though it's
[16:32] got a back seat. It's an expensive car.
[16:34] This is more about performance than
[16:36] practicality. Practicality is there, but
[16:38] it's not the focus. So, no rear climate
[16:41] screen, no rear tablets with
[16:43] infotainment. You just sit back here and
[16:46] enjoy the ride. And then we have the
[16:49] cargo area. Pop open the power rear
[16:52] tailgate and you can see it is a
[16:54] tailgate, a hatchback, which is why this
[16:55] isn't the AMG GT sedan. And you can see
[16:59] the cargo area in back. Now, it's
[17:01] actually pretty big back here. You got
[17:03] decent space, but again, practicality is
[17:06] absolutely not the focus of this car. It
[17:09] offers practicality, but it isn't the
[17:12] main event. One example of that is you
[17:14] got a really high floor to lift things
[17:17] to get them into the cargo area. you got
[17:19] to lift it past the license plate, the
[17:20] brake lights. It's pretty tall and
[17:22] heavier items, that's going to be
[17:23] annoying. Now, when you get into the
[17:25] cargo area, you can see it's on two
[17:27] separate levels. So, if you have some
[17:29] large flat item, it's actually going to
[17:31] kind of be tilted and some of it won't
[17:33] be supported in the center. Again, not
[17:35] really ideal for practicality, but
[17:37] that's what you get. Under the floor in
[17:40] this car, there is no additional storage
[17:42] like you see sometimes in other
[17:44] practical hatchbacky cars, and you don't
[17:47] really have extra storage netting over
[17:49] on the side either. But probably the
[17:51] biggest proof that practicality isn't
[17:53] this car's main event is that the rear
[17:56] seats don't actually fold down for extra
[17:59] cargo space. So, even though this is a
[18:02] cargo area rather than a trunk and it's
[18:04] open to the passenger compartment, you
[18:06] can't fold the rear seats. Larger items,
[18:10] sorry, it just doesn't work in this car.
[18:13] Again, that sort of fits the ethos of
[18:15] this car, which was like a coupe that
[18:17] became a four-door. The AMG E63 wagons,
[18:22] those have all practicality, sort of a
[18:24] practical performance car. I would say
[18:26] that this is more of a performance car
[18:28] with practicality. That's the
[18:30] distinction. And on that note, it's a
[18:32] performance car. Let's go see how it
[18:35] performs. Time to get behind the wheel
[18:37] of the AMG GT63SE Performance four-door
[18:41] and see how it drives. All right,
[18:43] driving the AMG GT63
[18:47] Performance four-door. And I got to say,
[18:50] this car is absolutely
[18:53] sublime. It's absolutely fantastic. It's
[18:57] kind of funny. Everybody talks about the
[18:59] famous competition between the M5 and
[19:02] the RS6 and the E63.
[19:04] This car is better than all of those. It
[19:08] is
[19:13] It is absolutely magnificent with every
[19:17] single aspect of its existence. Let's
[19:19] start with power. Unbelievable power
[19:22] figures. Over 1,000 pound- feet of
[19:24] torque. 0 to 60 in the mid 2C range with
[19:27] a V8. You know, you can go faster, full
[19:29] electric, or you can just have a V8, be
[19:32] a little slower, and still get the feel
[19:33] and the sound and the fury, which I
[19:35] think is what most people in this world
[19:37] of cars wants. And it delivers.
[19:42] Mercedes twin turbo V8 is a great
[19:43] powertrain, though. It's a lot of the
[19:45] AMG cars, and it's fantastic. Combined
[19:47] with the electric stuff, it has even
[19:49] more power. It's even more responsive.
[19:51] I've always felt it was a tremendously
[19:53] responsive, very potent engine, kind of
[19:55] always available of mid-range power.
[19:58] Now, it's even quicker. It is amazing
[20:00] just how athletic and dynamic this car
[20:03] feels on the road. Uh, given its size,
[20:06] it is a really, really quick car. The
[20:09] moment you need to change what you're
[20:10] doing, you put your foot down and the
[20:12] car is just gone and you can get
[20:13] yourself in or out of basically any
[20:15] situation you want. Which leads me to
[20:17] the next thing, which is steering and
[20:19] handling. When I first drove the AMG
[20:21] GT63 four-door six years ago, whatever
[20:24] it was, I truly felt that it was one of
[20:27] the best handling four-door cars I have
[20:29] ever driven. It's been a long time since
[20:30] then. I have driven a lot of four-door
[20:32] cars since then. I still feel this way
[20:36] driving this car. I'm astonished cuz I
[20:38] figured it's been so long that other
[20:40] cars probably have usurped it and I'm
[20:42] probably remembering it as better than
[20:43] it was. I am not. This car is such an
[20:46] athlete. Despite its size, both physical
[20:49] length and just weight, it doesn't give
[20:51] up that much to the actual twodoor AMG
[20:54] GT, the like exotic performance car.
[20:58] It's incredible that that's the reality,
[21:00] but it is in fact the reality. And the
[21:03] chassis is just so good. I am truly
[21:06] shocked by what an athlete and what a
[21:07] performer this car is when you start
[21:09] throwing it around corners. It is
[21:11] really, really amazing to me that
[21:12] they're able to make a car this
[21:14] relatively large feel so tossable and so
[21:17] quick and so fun and so enjoyable. Now,
[21:20] there are obviously some drawbacks. Ride
[21:22] quality is one. When you go into any
[21:24] sort of sport mode, you are reminded of
[21:25] just how the suspension is able to make
[21:28] this car feel quite so athletic. And
[21:30] it's because it's harsh and tight. Uh,
[21:32] it really feels harsh and tight. It's
[21:35] not crazy. It's not like a 911 GT3 or
[21:38] frankly even like a 911 Carrera S. It's
[21:40] not quite that tight, which is
[21:41] surprising because it really does such a
[21:43] good job to make the car handle well.
[21:44] You'd think they would almost have to go
[21:45] to that level of discomfort in order to
[21:48] give you that, but they don't. But
[21:49] nonetheless, it's not it's not as
[21:51] comfortable as a comfortable car. This
[21:53] car definitely you're making some
[21:55] sacrifices in order to have the
[21:57] performance level that you want. With
[21:59] that said, I am astonished at how not
[22:02] sacrificing you have to be with regards
[22:04] to uh the sound. This car, it may not
[22:07] ride as smoothly because of its
[22:09] performance level, but it really feels
[22:12] luxury car quiet. You don't hear that
[22:14] much going on around you. You don't hear
[22:16] a lot of tire noise, wind noise, etc.
[22:18] They've made it feel like short of the
[22:21] suspension, which you could go into
[22:22] comfort mode and dial back a little bit,
[22:24] but it's still somewhat harsh. Short of
[22:26] the suspension, they've really given you
[22:27] kind of a luxury car feel for this car
[22:30] in a pretty impressive way. And uh I'm
[22:33] honestly surprised by it. It really is
[22:35] amazing. This this car does not get
[22:37] talked about that much. I think part of
[22:38] the reason is because its name is so
[22:41] ridiculous. It's just kind of like this
[22:43] sort of forgotten corner of the Mercedes
[22:45] lineup. There's nobody nobody out there
[22:47] has a poster on their wall of a GT63
[22:49] four-door e performance. Like that
[22:52] doesn't M5 or GTS. It doesn't it just
[22:55] doesn't have like the ring to it. It
[22:57] doesn't inspire emotion. But when you
[22:59] drive this car, you are driving one of
[23:01] the great practical performance cars of
[23:03] our existence. And I include in that
[23:06] statement the RS6, the M5, the E63. I
[23:09] love all those cars. I love this one
[23:10] more. Um, I am amazed by just how good
[23:13] this car is. If what you're looking for
[23:15] is performance with four doors, I
[23:19] struggle to really feel that there is a
[23:21] better car on the market. Panamera TYON.
[23:24] This car delivers just an unbelievable
[23:26] level of refinement and luxury,
[23:29] attractive styling in my opinion anyway,
[23:31] uh, and just amazing performance all
[23:33] combined into one. The drawback of
[23:35] course being when you start combining
[23:37] all of those things into one car, you
[23:39] got to pay a lot of money. And it is a
[23:41] lot of money. And so that's the new 2026
[23:46] Mercedes AMG GT63
[23:49] Eperformance four-door. This car is not
[23:54] going to be common. You're not going to
[23:55] see them everywhere. they are not going
[23:57] to find many buyers because it's
[23:59] tremendously expensive and vast overkill
[24:03] for most people. But if you're looking
[24:06] for the ultimate performance car with
[24:09] some practicality, this would be at or
[24:11] near the very top of my list. It's an
[24:14] amazing car. And now it's time to give
[24:16] it a Doug score.
[24:22] And the Doug score is here. 72 out of
[24:24] 100, which puts the AMG GT63 four-door
[24:28] e-performance here against some similar
[24:30] cars. It earns the same score as the
[24:32] regular GT63 four-door. The e-erformance
[24:35] adds a point for acceleration, but it
[24:37] loses a point for value. It's just so
[24:39] expensive. But regardless, this car is
[24:41] near the very top of the overall Doug
[24:44] score spreadsheet. One of the best
[24:45] overall cars I've ever tested, and it
[24:48] deserves to be. does an amazing job of
[24:50] combining performance, luxury,
[24:52] practicality, and tech in a way that few
[24:55] other cars ever have. If only they could
[24:57] do something about its ridiculous name.
