Mercedes-AMG S63 Performance Overview
AMG’s S63, tracked here across 6 verified tests spanning 2017 to 2025, defines its performance identity as the highest-output S-Class derivative, pairing full-size luxury with super-sedan acceleration. In the W222/C217 era, output came from twin-turbocharged gasoline V8s in M157 and later M177 form, ranging from 577 to 603 hp. Early results started with the 2017 4MATIC Cabriolet at 3.7 seconds to 60 mph, then moved to 3.0 seconds in the 2018 4MATIC+ Coupe (Carbon Fiber Pack), establishing the quickest W222/C217 benchmark. Across four W222/C217 tests, the generation averaged 3.3 seconds to 60.
The shift to W223 from 2021 brought the largest mechanical change: from pure gasoline V8 performance to a plug-in-hybrid system built around the M177, raising output to 791 hp. That change reset the S63’s pace, with the 2024 E Performance Sedan reaching 60 mph in 2.8 seconds before the 2025 E Performance Sedan lowered the mark to an all-time best 2.6 seconds and a 10.8-second quarter-mile at 129 mph. Today, the S63 stands as a plug-in-hybrid performance sedan with the current-generation W223 also holding the model’s quickest recorded 0-60 time.

How we verify Mercedes-AMG S63 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mercedes-AMG S63 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
