2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE: Brooklyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE
The AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE is the quickest car in the AMG GT lineup and the flagship of the range: $202,200 MSRP plus $1,250 destination for a handcrafted 4.0-liter biturbo V8 paired with a 150-kW electric motor on the rear axle, a combined 805 horsepower and 1,047 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 2.7 seconds. This is a performance hybrid built for power delivery, not a commuter plug-in, its combined fuel-and-electric rating is 32 city/24 highway MPGe and its all-electric range is minimal by design. Cargo space drops to 7.2 cubic feet, the trade-off for the battery pack, and curb weight climbs to 4,828 lbs, the heaviest AMG GT built. Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn, the borough's only authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, is the place to order one.
A hybrid built to be quicker, not to be efficient
The "plug-in hybrid" label invites the wrong assumption. The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE's rear-mounted 150-kW electric motor, running through its own 2-speed gearbox and a dedicated high-voltage battery, exists to add instant torque underneath the V8's power band, not to deliver meaningful electric-only miles. The combined output, 805 hp and 1,047 lb-ft, is the highest figure Mercedes-AMG has ever put in this body, and it shows up as a 2.7-second run to 60, the quickest of any AMG GT and among the quickest accelerating cars Mercedes-Benz sells at any price. AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes come standard, matched to a car that's genuinely heavier than its siblings and needs the stopping power to match.
The EPA's combined rating, 32 city and 24 highway MPGe, reflects that priority: it is a fuel-cycle efficiency number for a hybrid system optimized around power delivery, not a range figure to plan a commute around. AC charging runs at 3.7 kW through a standard J1772 connector, adequate for topping off the battery overnight but not built around daily EV-only driving the way a dedicated plug-in SUV would be.
What the battery costs in cargo space
The trade-off for 805 horsepower shows up in the trunk. Cargo capacity drops to 7.2 cubic feet, well under the 11.3 to 23.8 cubic feet available on the GT 43 and GT 63 PRO, the space the high-voltage battery pack occupies. It is worth knowing before ordering one as a weekend bag car rather than a track-and-back machine; buyers who need real cargo room alongside serious performance are generally better served by the GT 63 PRO, which delivers 603 hp without the same packaging compromise.
Finding one worth ordering
Vitaliy S. described exactly the kind of effort a rare, build-slot car like this one can require: "Great service from Mike and Naran. The guys did the impossible found me a car that was no longer available and gave me an amazing price and amazing service." A hybrid AMG GT at this end of the range rarely sits on a lot waiting for a walk-in, and that willingness to track one down is the difference between a buyer settling and getting the exact build they wanted.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the 2026 AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE?
$202,200 MSRP plus $1,250 destination before options and New York taxes, matching the GT 63 PRO's starting price exactly. The pricing and leasing guide covers the full lineup.
How fast is the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE?
2.7 seconds to 60 mph from a combined 805 horsepower and 1,047 lb-ft, the quickest AMG GT ever offered and the quickest 0-60 in the current lineup.
Can the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE drive on electric power alone?
Its electric motor is designed to boost the V8's response and torque delivery rather than deliver meaningful electric-only range. Treat it as a performance hybrid, not a plug-in commuter car; the 32/24 MPGe combined rating reflects the fuel-and-electric cycle together, not an electric-miles figure.
How much does the hybrid battery cost in cargo space?
Trunk capacity drops to 7.2 cubic feet, versus 11.3 to 23.8 cubic feet on the GT 43 and GT 63 PRO. It's a real trade-off to weigh against the performance gain.
Is the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE faster than the GT 63 PRO?
Yes, by 0.4 seconds to 60 mph (2.7 versus 3.1), though the PRO's dedicated track aero and lighter curb weight make it the better choice for sustained lapping rather than straight-line acceleration. The AMG GT 63 PRO guide covers that trade-off.
Where can I order an AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE in Brooklyn?
At Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn, 1800 Shore Parkway, off Belt Parkway Exit 5. Given how rarely this trim sits in ready inventory, working directly with the sales team on an order is the realistic path for most buyers.
The top of the range, for a reason
805 horsepower and a 2.7-second 0-60 make the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE the answer for buyers who want the fastest AMG GT built and are willing to trade trunk space for it. The 2026 AMG GT overview lays out the four alternatives for buyers who want a different balance of speed, price, and practicality.
