Mercedes Benz has a history of introducing innovative technology into its flagship S-Class then later rolling down this Tech to its E-Class, C-Class, and other ranges. This philosophy has always elevated the S-Class to play a significant role in the development of Mercedes Benz over the past twenty years.
In 1971 the 300 SEL 6.8 AMG was launched and today the new AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE with hybrid technology has once again set the benchmark in the segment.

The V8 engine sits at the front and the electric motor at the rear axle providing a 590 kW system output. Accelerating from 0 – 100km/h in a remarkable 3.3 seconds and reaching a top speed of 290 km/h. To contribute to the safety driving systems such as the AMG RIDE-CONTROL+ suspension, AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL roll stabilisation and rear-axle steering as standard ensure safe driving for both dynamics and comfort.
The E PERFORMANC technology is a first for a luxury saloon so perfectly combining best-in-class performance with luxury and superior comfort. The exterior styling flaunts confidence with the large radiator grille bearing the AMG emblem in silver chrome/black.
