We’ve uncovered local pricing for the refreshed 620 kW Mercedes-AMG GT63 SE Performance 4‑Door Coupé, which arrives as the most expensive model in the brand’s high-performance range…
Mercedes-Benz South Africa has quietly added the wordily named Mercedes-AMG GT63 SE Performance 4Matic+ 4‑Door Coupé to its local configurator. So, how much will the refreshed version of this 620 kW all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid monster cost you?
Well, it arrives as the most expensive model in the Affalterbach-based division’s local line-up, bearing a starting price of R4 036 144 (excluding the cost of a maintenance plan, according to the Mercedes-Benz SA configurator, which pushes the price to R4 219 301). That sees it slot in above the likes of the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S 4Matic+ (R3 827 538) and the Mercedes-AMG G63 (R3 962 717).
Revealed as recently as October 2023, the updated GT63 SE Performance 4‑Door Coupé sticks with its mighty PHEV powertrain, which here comprises a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine and various hybrid components (as well as the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission). As before, peak system outputs stand at a lofty 620 kW and 1470 Nm, which facilitate a 0-100 kph sprint in a claimed 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 316 kph.
Revisions to this model – which again ships with air suspension featuring adaptive adjustment damping but also gains a bit of extra standard kit – include a wider air inlet below the AMG-specific grille and vertical air ducts integrated into the outside of the front apron. Inside, the apex version of the GT 4-Door Coupé scores an updated version of the MBUX multimedia system, including AMG-specific items.
In South Africa, the GT63 SE Performance can be specified with all manner of add-ons, from the AMG Night Package (R17 300) and AMG Exterior Chrome Package (R19 100) to the AMG Aerodynamics Package (R51 800), AMG Exterior Carbon Package (R67 300) and AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre Package II (R81 800).
In addition, Mercedes-Benz SA offers a range of alloy wheels (over and above the standard 20-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy items), along with a panoramic sunroof (R22 500, though a sliding sunroof is now standard), AMG sports stripes (R11 000), AMG Performance seats (R35 000), a head-up display (R18 100), Driving Assistance Plus Package (R44 000) and power-closing doors (R10 000).
