It's probably cheapest to add the charging door to the bumper as a retrofit. Would cost a lot more to retool to create petrol-esque filler cap on the body panels
Has to do with design hardpoints. In our E class estate, the charging port is on the rear too, which is perfect because we reverse into our driveway. Sure, it could've been done better, but this car was never designed to be a hybrid, so the structure probably does not allow much different placement.
@@MyRealName Guess it depends on whether a car was designed a hybrid or not. At the end profit margins in the automotive industry (compared to the prices of cars) are quite low, car development plus production is much more expensive than people think and if they decide to spend the money to relocate the charging port than the price would be added to the car or they save money somewhere else. Also, while it might seems to be a really cheap change it's probably extremely expensive, because they have to design a new body, maybe/probably also crash test it and create a completely seperate production line with new tooling just for the few e-hybrids they produce. I guess it wouldn't be reasonable.
This is a real AMG in my opinion. A overly powered high luxury german sedan with a masculine and elegant exterior design. It can kill you in a second or it can make you the biggest hooligan in the city while you have space for some luggage and space for 4 lovely ladies siting in the car. :D
Mercedes made a GT which weighs almost as a G Wagon yet does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds! Like that's a timing that a BMW M5 CS does, which is a lot lighter. Insane how they made this car combining luxury with sports.
l've been thinking for a long time, is the bmw m5 cs faster or the Mercedes Amg gt 63 s e performance? You mentioned it here, thank you for pointing it out, and l was researching the Mercedes Amg gt 63 s e performance.l was really relieved when you said this car is faster than the bmw m5 cs.Thanks again😃
AutoTopNL, in my opinion you have the greatest job in the world. Driving fantastic cars on a no limit highway. Looking at the road signs, i noticed that you drive on the German highway, not to far from "Nijmegen" (my town). I often cycle in that region (Kranenburg, Mehr, Kleve etc.)
When driving above 160km/h, I just cannot talk normally. You are a special type of driver, I've got to salute you on that. I've been driving since 1999 and I know rare talent with nuts of steel.
electrifying isnt all about range, but also about efficiency, due to these systems, the car consumes less fuel. This may seem irrelevant for a car like this but most tech gets developed in these high end cars and then copied into lower end cars where the fuel efficiency does matter
@@michal.laskowski. They cant, because they have regulations to meet. Making more power would make engine produce way more CO2, and that it something that they as a company must reduce to meet the regulations. This way they can push boundaries with still keeping the V8 and not just going full electric. I understand what you are saying and I do agree with you, but I also understand company's perspective. U can still buy a 63 without E-power and give it to brabus or someone for a tune for the price difference.
this might be the fastest 4 door car, which is impressive. but i think it is also the most beautiful, era defining 4 door car. it looks like an instant classic to me.
I don’t see the point in combing a electric motor with a V8 motor … for me being a motoring purist it’s either internal combustion or electric … preferring internal combustion motors myself accepting the fact that electric motors are superior in acceleration still it just doesn’t do it for me … they have their place it’s an inevitability electric motorised cars are here to stay … still the sound of a powerful V8, V10, V12 motor either in front or at the back of you in the car there’s nothing like it in the world … driving is all about the 5 senses it’s the experience which makes driving at speed so exhilarating…
tbh aim for the 53 or 63, the S and SE lose too much ride quality. 63 is maybe the best blend of ride quality and power, 53 is the best for ride quality.
@@danielmiller9012 what exactly do you mean when you say "the 63s losing ride quality"? Isn't the top model supposed to be better than the 63? An explanation would be greatly appreciated
Mercedes as long as you have the money and service with the dlr will always be able to keep your car running. They have a classic center specially designed to keep their older cars still going in mint condition.

Most of those extra horses go to move the extra weight. Normal GT63S power to weight ratio: 300hp per tonne Electrified GT63S power to weight ratio: 354hp per tonne Only 54hp more in the reality. But that extra weight affects braking and cornering performance.
@@ataipacquiao5713 Read the end of my statement as well: "But the extra weight affects braking and cornering performance" And those number you mentioned do NOT indicate a huge difference.

Guys I have a question! When you're in electric mode then you switch to the combined V8 and electric but the V8 still in cold cuz you didn't run with yet when you were in city for example... Isn't that bad for the engine?or there is something I don't know yet about this hybrid thing !
the full on electric mode is for when you're going grocery shopping, or going to/coming from work so you don't need to start the engine and going through the heat cycle of the engine and keep it nice and healthy
That rear bumper charging port is so dumb. I hate it. There's someone in my street with an E class phev with the same door and every time it charges, it looks stupid. By the way: what do you guys think of the new C63 being a 4 cylinder phev? I think the idea makes a lot of sense, but I dislike that they called it "63". 63 is supposed to be a V8 and it devalues the rest of the AMG lineup.
I think the minimum for a backup stand alone style battery should be a standard 100 kms distance at highway speed whatever that happen to be for each country with out relying on regen regen at highway speeds isn't possible so that should be the standard minimum
This is the way car industry should go, not pure electric, batery itself they are not good enough to be main source of juice! All petrol and diesel engine should use similar system!
Impressive tech, but will it stand the test of time? I would absolutely love to own this car as its basically an all-in one package, though that much tech is prone to fail eventually.
I miss the silent POV reviews. Like talk during the walkthrough etc but when it comes to driving just stop talking and let the beautiful V8 do the talking
I would never pay £230 grand for a car even if i was a millionairess especially with a plastic bumper on it , whats that all about ? It does remind me of a cheap 1990s KIA lol , I think smart people just pay the £60 grand for a new Tesla , it will go faster 0-60 than any petrol car and is more comfy and you can charge it to go 300 miles in like 10 mins with the supercharger so just makes more sense.
Yeah, slower throttle response, slower gearbox, yes... But that car is a GT, which means it needs to be suave, calm, progressive... You do not want a Ferrari/Lamborghini type gearbox on a GT... You need a slower, progressive gear change... It's a cruiser.

It's probably cheapest to add the charging door to the bumper as a retrofit. Would cost a lot more to retool to create petrol-esque filler cap on the body panels
On a premium car of this price where style plays a big role, you would expect more. Many cheaper hybrids have it sorted out, no excuses..

The concept GT 4 Door had the same charging door cost cutting which just doesn’t look all that nice.
