The 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance Is a $225,000 Super Sedan

[00:00] This is the new 2026

[00:04] Mercedes AMG GT63

[00:07] Eperformance four-door, which is a

[00:10] laughably long name. So, here's a

[00:13] summary. This is one of the fastest,

[00:15] most insane, coolest, best driving

[00:18] four-door cars in existence. It has

[00:21] around $830

[00:23] horsepower and a sticker price of more

[00:26] than $200,000.

[00:28] And today I'm going to review this car

[00:31] and show you all of its quirks and

[00:33] features.

[00:38] Before we get started, are you ready for

[00:40] your next cool car? Sell your enthusiast

[00:42] car on Cars and Bids. Trading in your

[00:45] car to dealers means you aren't getting

[00:47] market value for your car, leaving you

[01:15] All right, time for the quirks and

[01:17] features of the Mercedes AMG GT63S

[01:23] e-performance

[01:24] four-door. This car, the AMG GT

[01:28] four-door, came out back in 2019, and it

[01:31] was intended to be like a more practical

[01:34] variant of the AMG GT exotic sports car

[01:38] that Mercedes was making at the time.

[01:40] Now, sadly, the name is pretty stupid.

[01:43] Even AMG GT is kind of silly cuz AMG is

[01:48] a lot of cars and GT is used in

[01:51] basically everything. And then they

[01:52] tacked on four-door because they

[01:55] couldn't say sedan. This is actually a

[01:57] hatchback. Sedan doesn't work. So you

[01:59] got four-door. It doesn't work great.

[02:02] And then now this version is the 63

[02:05] performance. So that's the full name.

[02:08] It's ridiculous. BMW has M5. Mercedes

[02:12] has AMG GT63

[02:16] performance four-door. It really rolls

[02:18] right off the tongue. Thankfully,

[02:20] despite the naming situation, this car

[02:24] is amazing. I first reviewed the AMG

[02:28] GT63 four-door back when it came out

[02:31] almost exactly 7 years ago. And at the

[02:33] time, I considered it to be one of the

[02:36] best handling, best driving four-door

[02:38] cars I had ever experienced. It was

[02:42] fantastic. Now, since then, Mercedes has

[02:46] expanded the lineup and they've added

[02:48] some more affordable kind of lesser

[02:50] models. The GT53 and then the GT43. And

[02:53] for a brief period, the four-door GT63

[02:57] actually disappeared completely from

[03:00] this car's lineup. But now, it's back

[03:02] and there's this new eerformance version

[03:05] with insane performance. To explain,

[03:10] check this out. The standard base level

[03:12] GT43 has about 360 horsepower which is

[03:17] pretty good. From there you can step up

[03:19] to the GT53 which has about 430

[03:23] horsepower. That's very respectable.

[03:25] Then from there, you can step up to the

[03:28] GT63

[03:30] four-door. And that one has about 575

[03:34] horsepower. And that's serious muscle.

[03:37] But it doesn't even compare to the GT63S

[03:41] with E performance. This car, which has

[03:45] 830

[03:47] horsepower and around 1,50

[03:51] pound feet of torque, it is a menace.

[03:54] Now, the powertrain is Mercedes twin

[03:57] turbo 4 L V8 and a lot of different AMG

[04:00] models, but here it's also made it to a

[04:03] plugin hybrid powertrain. So, this car

[04:06] has all-wheel drive and giant power from

[04:10] the engine and the electric stuff. The

[04:13] result is 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds, which

[04:18] is massively crazy. Now, you're probably

[04:21] thinking, "Okay, but it's bulky. It's

[04:23] probably a big heavy peg of a car. And

[04:25] indeed, at 4,800 lb, this isn't light.

[04:29] But it still manages to be 600 lb

[04:33] lighter than the new BMW M5, the sedan,

[04:37] and lighter still than the M5 Touring,

[04:41] the wagon version. And it has more power

[04:44] than anything. The M5 tops out around

[04:47] 720 horsepower. Again, this is at 830.

[04:51] The top level Panamera you can get right

[04:53] now is 770 horsepower. Again, this is

[04:57] 830. The Audi RS6 right now has 620

[05:01] horsepower. Pretty good. But yeah, this

[05:04] is 830. Only the Porsche TYON has more

[05:07] power. There's a version with over 900

[05:10] horsepower, but of course that's full

[05:13] electric. This is basically the most

[05:15] powerful car you can get with four doors

[05:18] and an engine in today's world. If you

[05:21] want to maximize your practicality and

[05:24] your performance, not go electric, get a

[05:26] big old V8, this is the top dog, king of

[05:31] the hill right now. This car even has

[05:33] more power than the new Lamborghini Urus

[05:36] SE, which is Lamborghini. They're trying

[05:39] to maximize all the power, make it

[05:42] crazy. This thing beats it out. But

[05:46] before you go thinking it's an

[05:48] environmenting disaster with a big V8

[05:51] and all its power, keep in mind it's

[05:53] also a plug-in hybrid. And so it has a

[05:56] full electric mode and a very generous

[05:59] driving range of eight electric miles.

[06:04] Anyway, next up on to the quirks and

[06:06] features. And let's start on the

[06:07] outside. I think this car looks great.

[06:11] It's a great job of turning an

[06:12] attractive coupe, the regular AMG GT,

[06:15] into an attractive four-door car that

[06:18] looks like a coupe. In fact, the Porsche

[06:20] Panamera has now been on sale for more

[06:22] than 15 years. But I think that after

[06:25] all the attempts to make the Panamera

[06:27] attractive and change it and design it

[06:30] better, this still looks better. An

[06:33] aggressive, muscular, very cohesive

[06:35] design that just looks nice from

[06:38] basically all angles. I especially love

[06:40] the flared out hips and back over the

[06:42] rear wheel arches. Just really makes

[06:44] this car look special and aggressive and

[06:46] muscular. It is cool. Now, I will say

[06:50] few things are a bit over the top. Maybe

[06:53] I wouldn't do the giant rear wing.

[06:56] Although, that's what you get if you

[06:58] choose the top model, the 63SE

[07:01] Performance four-door. You get a big old

[07:02] wing cuz you're getting the highest

[07:05] performance. You also get massive carbon

[07:08] ceramic brakes. You can see with these

[07:09] big gold calipers that really shout

[07:13] performance. One interesting thing I'm

[07:15] surprised by is the fender vent, which

[07:18] looks both cheap and fake. I wouldn't

[07:21] really expect to see something like that

[07:23] on a car like this at this level. Not

[07:26] really the most attractive, but it's

[07:28] fine. Just a little bit of a complaint

[07:30] there. Speaking of badging, an

[07:32] interesting component of this car is in

[07:33] back where you can see the GT63

[07:37] badge is trimmed in red, outlined all

[07:40] around. That's because this is an

[07:41] e-performance car with the plug-in

[07:43] hybrid powertrain. So, they take your

[07:45] standard AMG badges and they give them

[07:47] red trim to signify the plug-in hybrid

[07:50] boost. Also interesting in back, you can

[07:53] see integrated into the bumper, there's

[07:55] a little cutout panel. Looks like a fuel

[07:58] door. That's actually the charge port

[08:00] for the e-performance component of the

[08:03] car, the plug-in hybrid powertrain in

[08:05] the rear bumper. Kind of an odd spot,

[08:07] but that's where it is. Also unusual,

[08:10] this car, of course, is the color. This

[08:13] bright green flat color. It's called

[08:17] green hell Magno, named after the

[08:19] Nurburg Rings, nickname Green Hell. And

[08:22] it costs around $10,000

[08:25] extra on this car on top of a sticker

[08:28] price that starts right around $200,000.

[08:33] This car starts around 200 grand. You

[08:36] add options, you add this paint color,

[08:38] you're looking at maybe $250, but you're

[08:40] also getting kind of the ultimate

[08:43] four-door performance car in existence.

[08:46] And like the exterior, the interior of

[08:49] the GT63SE Performance four-door is

[08:52] pretty cool. I especially like in the

[08:54] center console the dynamic buttons and

[08:57] switches which have their own screens

[08:59] and change when you press them. It's

[09:01] pretty neat. At the top you can see two

[09:03] switches. On the upper left you have

[09:05] your drive mode and you can switch

[09:07] between it and then the little screen

[09:09] next to the switch actually changes to

[09:10] correspond with the drive mode. On the

[09:12] other side, you have your stereo volume

[09:14] along with a little screen slider that

[09:17] shows exactly how loud you're listening

[09:19] right now. That's a pretty cool feature.

[09:22] But beyond that, the buttons below these

[09:24] switches are also really cool. They

[09:26] change various things about the vehicle

[09:28] performance, various settings like the

[09:30] transmission and other drive mode,

[09:32] suspension, etc. Uh, and when you press

[09:35] each one, it kind of changes dynamically

[09:38] to reflect the setting that you have

[09:40] chosen with your press. And I think it's

[09:43] really cool. It's way cooler than just a

[09:45] regular button you press and a light

[09:47] turns on showing that it's on or

[09:49] whatever. This is a really neat way to

[09:52] do all of these settings grouped in the

[09:54] center console. And this one over on the

[09:56] right with like a little sound graph,

[09:58] 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.
