## Highlights

- 831bhp combined from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and a rear electric motor
- 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds, 196mph
- 1,470Nm of torque through 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive
- Four seats, four doors and a hatchback tailgate
- 6.1kWh battery sized for power delivery rather than electric range

## What does the hybrid system actually do?

It adds power rather than economy. A 150kW electric motor sits on the rear axle with its own two-speed gearbox, fed by a 6.1kWh battery mounted behind it. The battery is directly cooled so it can be emptied and refilled repeatedly without fading, and it recharges under braking and on the throttle rather than needing a wall box. Combined output is 831bhp and 1,470Nm.

## Can you use it as a normal car?

More easily than the numbers suggest. There are four seats, four doors and a hatchback tailgate, so a weekend of luggage is not a problem. Air suspension and rear-axle steering keep it civil at motorway speed and manageable in town, though at just under two metres wide and around 2,380kg it is a large car in a multi-storey. In Comfort it is quiet.

## What does it cost to hire?

Expect a refundable deposit near £5,000 and an excess to match.50 a mile beyond that. The daily figure falls as the booking gets longer.

## How does it compare with a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid?

They are two ends of the same idea. The Porsche makes 771bhp, reaches 62mph in 3.2 seconds and is the more comfortable and more discreet of the two. The AMG is louder, quicker in a straight line and far more theatrical about it. If the car has a job to do — clients, motorways, a long week — take the Porsche. If the car is the point, take the AMG.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through a partner rather than supplying it from our own fleet, and we confirm a named car and your dates before anything is agreed.

### How many seats does the AMG GT four-door have?

Four. The hybrid battery sits over the rear axle, so the car is laid out as four seats with a hatchback boot behind them rather than a five-seat bench.

### Does the battery need charging?

No. It recharges under braking and under load, and at 6.1kWh it is sized to feed the electric motor in short bursts rather than to be run flat and topped up. Treat it as a petrol car with an electric layer on top.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer.
