Giancarlo Perlas June 23, 2023Another spy video of the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance has surfaced, offering a sneak peek into the upcoming design updates for the vehicle. The partially camouflaged vehicle raises intriguing questions about potential powertrain enhancements as well.
Redesigned Front Fascia and Unmistakable V8 E Performance Badges
Amidst the strategically placed camouflage, the front fascia of the AMG GT 63 S E Performance spied by KindelAuto reveals a redesigned grille, partially concealing the iconic Panamericana styling. Meanwhile, the fenders proudly display V8 E Performance badges, hinting at the powerful nature of the vehicle.
Refreshed Bumper, Bisected Lower Opening, and Striking Headlight Tweaks
A thoroughly refreshed front bumper is expected to accompany the new grille, featuring additional slots between the grille and outer bumper intakes. Additionally, the lower opening of the AMG GT 63 S E Performance now looks bisected, adding a touch of aggression to its appearance. The headlights have also undergone tweaks, lending a refreshed look to the front end.
Mysterious Tailpipes and Potential Powertrain Upgrades
The spy video reveals some intriguing features at the rear of the AMG GT 63 S E Performance. While the back of the vehicle is completely exposed, the protruding tailpipes sport an unusual configuration, suggesting possible powertrain updates.
The extended length of the tailpipes piques curiosity, leaving observers wondering about the performance enhancements that might accompany the refreshed design.
Powertrain Speculations and Electrified Potential
Mercedes updated the AMG GT 4-Door lineup in 2021, increasing the output of the GT 63 S to 639 hp. However, the GT 63 S E Performance, with its electrified powertrain, could potentially receive a boost in power as well.
Equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, an electric motor, and a 6.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack, the current model boasts 831 horsepower and 1,033 pound-feet of torque. While the vehicle’s electric driving range remains limited at 7.5 miles, there is speculation that the battery technology might see improvements in the updated version.
Cabin Updates
Although the spy video does not provide a glimpse of the interior, it appears that Mercedes has not made significant changes to the cabin layout. However, considering the forthcoming design updates, it wouldn’t be surprising if the company has made some subtle tweaks to enhance the overall driving experience and the onboard tech of the model.
Anticipated Reveal
The exact date of the official reveal remains unknown, but it is anticipated that the three-pointed star marque might unveil the updated Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance before the end of 2023 as a 2024 model year unit.
