Going hybrid really just seems like a compromise for this car. Less boot space, more weight, jerky throttle reaction, it all just makes it feel like it wasn't meant to be sold, it's not ready. I'd just go for a regular GT63 S and maybe tune it for more power.

So with all the complexity and future higher repair costs (due to the hybrid engine), you only gain 0.3sec. of performance over the 63 S. Not worth it IMO.
You'd actually save on maintenance costs since engine would be chilling at near idle most of the time. Not to mention you'd be using less brakes coz of re-gen
it’s a shame that the acceleration doesn’t work that well with the electric motor :/ sounded like such a cool concept when they revealed it with a lot of potential

Great thorough review on the GT 63 S Mat. Id also prefer the M5 CS however The issue with the MS CS isnt the car its the availability....impossible to get and people bought only to sell grey market asking for far more than this merc.
Idk where you live but the M5CS isn’t that hard to find anymore. There are 2 brand new ones for sale near me so it appears they are making more I think going forward from 2022 because they used to be insanely rare
Stock BMW M5cs have done 0-60 in 2.6 and the 1/4 mile in 10.6... The times for this particular GT63 S E Performance are very disappointing for a car with awd, 843 hp and 1000+ lbs of torque. It's not much faster than the standard GT 63s. I'm sure further test will come in much faster...it has to.

I love those wheels sooooo much. It looks like you have a smaller diameter wheel with more rubber but it can still house giant brakes. Best of both worlds.
This is exactly a weird disadvantage. Bigger wheels looks allways so much better. It doesn't make absolutly no sense at all to let them appear smaller😂
@@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel It's not the wheel size in general. It's how the size of the wheel look with the thickness of the sidewall and how the brakes fill up the inside of the wheel and how everything fill up the fender. It's all about proportions. I for one do not like the 21-23 inch wheels with tires that look like they're barely there.
Hybrids are just a placebo, especially plug in hybrids. Like you said 200kg of useless mpg killing weight. 200kg is a lot of extra weight to lug about and I bet with the extra weight of the battery an motor comes more structural bracing adding more weight killing even more mpg for not a lot gain. Probably 300-400 kg heavier than the car needs to be , removing that weight alone would be the equivalent of 200hp extra, the difference between 2.2t and 1.8t is a massive performance jump.
Problem is these cars were forced into using em to meet emission standards. Look at what they’ve done to the c63s amg… u think they wanted to remove the v8?
@@Samosayummyyay your missing the point here, these cars u mentioned don’t sell nearly as much as a c63 would (or any Mercedes for that matter) that’s the reason why these cars aren’t affected as much by emissions standards as there would be far less on the road.
200kgs is never equivalent of 200 hp for that car , and mercedes just trash at making performance hybrid unlike ferrari and Porsche and other car brands
Too much complaint from people that will never afford one. You get a 10 second car and an insane 0-62 time with a car that’s got S class interior and comfort. If you want performance you look at the black series lineup that shreds any BMW or Audi in existence 🤦♂️ never seen a dumber comment section
@@r35spectgt-r84 tbh your comment is kinda stupid itself.. the car sure has Performance but tbh most people dont really car about 1/4 mile times or 0-62. accelerating from a standstill is one of the least used things in a car and gets boring pretty quickly. comfort? literally everyone reviewing this Car says its hard as stone. you feel pretty much every Bump because the dampers, springs and everything is so agressively tuned for Performance. Also the interior aint shared with s-class, its shared with the Cls. So yeah.. you should at least be sure that what you say is true before calling a whole comment section dumb..
@@r35spectgt-r84 its not. its the same Design in the Front but if you ever sat in them you would realize that the door panels are different as well as some knobs. the stitching on the s-class is better and its not exactly the same materials (s-class can be equipped with Merino Leather). Also the Cls and s-class are very Similar. thats because the e-class, cls, s-class and amg gt all share parts. but saying its the SAME interior as the s-class is wrong and you should know that. the Amg gt shares its Platform with the cls and not the s-class and its hidden in the Details and the cabin feel.
Great video Matt as ever. I'm a Merc fan, but whilst Mercedes have the quality, fit and finish I will drop my cap and say BMW is the ultimate driving machine and is an utter brute for performance 👍
Stuff the environment, I would stick with the regular V8 BiTurbo engine. Also I would take this over the BMW M5 CS; looks better and sounds better!! If I have that amounts of money, I would get something that looks cool, performs well, and that balances look and tech!! Great review Matt!!

I love this car but I think that the M5 CS is still better given the gap in power between the two (208HP for the AMG) but only 0.1 sec quicker. I think also that the M5 CS is a better driver's car dynamically speaking.
Mat: It isn’t really that much faster than a BMW M5cs Mercedes: … That’s ok Mat. Say, why don’t we go for a little drive…? What’s up? No that’s just a toy gun.
They’re both admirable cars in their own rights. But I can see where Mat is coming from. The price difference really doesn’t seem worth it. Whichever one you prefer personally, it is a hard stretch to justify the massive price leap when the performance isn’t that much more. And personally I think that the M5cs will hold its value and status for a long time to come.

Super fast car, but I agree with you. So much going on between the ICE and the elec motor. I mean, if you can hear all that going on, just think how it will be like in 30K miles. So much going on, what will go wrong when the car is a year old??

It amazes me how no matter what power these cars have the 0 -60 can only get so good , you can basically have a tuned second hand hot hatch that has hundreds of HP less that is almost as quick
I’m getting better times with my E63s , it’s tuned but not aggressive tune , doing about 590 HP to the wheels , but I have transmission tune and cpc . I ya downpours 0-60 is 2.7 2.8. 1/4 is 10.7 - 10.8. 2018 e63s wagon . It sounds 100x better too

8 miles is not enough for around town. My wife's Cayenne S e-hybrid only does 11 when it gets really cold in the deep of winter (below 0 F), and that is barely enough for many local trips. In summer it can do 17-20, and that's fine. I think 30-40 would be ideal and to the point of diminishing returns.
I hate how they made it look so unaggressive. when I look at it I think it makes maximum 300hp. it just doesn't look good anymore. (from the back it looks pretty good tho)
Sure seems like it's best to save the frustration and money and get the 639hp version. If it was tuned better and maybe a 20kw capacity, it could be something, but and 6kw and from your test drive, it's pretty clear all they were going for to to be able to claim the line has a hybrid available for marketing wank.

Having had a problem with the baby AMG in the electronics department and Mercedes being unable to find out what’s wrong with it, I can see these being a nightmare if anything goes wrong…
So with all the complexity and future higher repair costs (due to the hybrid engine), you only gain 0.3sec. of performance over the 63 S. Not worth it IMO.
Depends on your country
And pay a shitload extra🤣
You'd actually save on maintenance costs since engine would be chilling at near idle most of the time. Not to mention you'd be using less brakes coz of re-gen
At least your honest Mat, not like some other car reviewers out there.
Top bloke. 👍
All these engines and complexity is beaten by V6. Of course I’m talking about the legend of all time ‘911 Turbo S’
Maybe a Bit Late But its a flat 6 lol

Great thorough review on the GT 63 S Mat. Id also prefer the M5 CS however The issue with the MS CS isnt the car its the availability....impossible to get and people bought only to sell grey market asking for far more than this merc.
Idk where you live but the M5CS isn’t that hard to find anymore. There are 2 brand new ones for sale near me so it appears they are making more I think going forward from 2022 because they used to be insanely rare

Stock BMW M5cs have done 0-60 in 2.6 and the 1/4 mile in 10.6... The times for this particular GT63 S E Performance are very disappointing for a car with awd, 843 hp and 1000+ lbs of torque. It's not much faster than the standard GT 63s. I'm sure further test will come in much faster...it has to.

Awesome Design 💯💯💯
I love those wheels sooooo much. It looks like you have a smaller diameter wheel with more rubber but it can still house giant brakes. Best of both worlds.
This is exactly a weird disadvantage. Bigger wheels looks allways so much better. It doesn't make absolutly no sense at all to let them appear smaller😂
@@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel It's not the wheel size in general. It's how the size of the wheel look with the thickness of the sidewall and how the brakes fill up the inside of the wheel and how everything fill up the fender. It's all about proportions.
I for one do not like the 21-23 inch wheels with tires that look like they're barely there.
it’s 5 am in texas and i’m up watching this great review when I have to take the act in 2 hours fml
2:07 Matt, are you developing esotropia? Hope everything is well, take care of yourself.
Hybrids are just a placebo, especially plug in hybrids. Like you said 200kg of useless mpg killing weight. 200kg is a lot of extra weight to lug about and I bet with the extra weight of the battery an motor comes more structural bracing adding more weight killing even more mpg for not a lot gain. Probably 300-400 kg heavier than the car needs to be , removing that weight alone would be the equivalent of 200hp extra, the difference between 2.2t and 1.8t is a massive performance jump.
Problem is these cars were forced into using em to meet emission standards. Look at what they’ve done to the c63s amg… u think they wanted to remove the v8?
Hello? SF90? Or Porsche Spyder 918? Koenigsegg Gemera? They not stupid lmao. But this Merc? Nah. Hybrid done wrong.
@@samirfakoua Yeah they're doing 4 cylinders with hybrid assistance for the C63s sedan, coupe and wagon. So sad.
@@Samosayummyyay your missing the point here, these cars u mentioned don’t sell nearly as much as a c63 would (or any Mercedes for that matter) that’s the reason why these cars aren’t affected as much by emissions standards as there would be far less on the road.
200kgs is never equivalent of 200 hp for that car , and mercedes just trash at making performance hybrid unlike ferrari and Porsche and other car brands
Honestly speaking I just jumped to the 0-60 launch.
drag race with m5 cs will be great
Personally my money would go on the RS6 or M5 (probably M5). This is heavier than our Cayenne S and as heavy as our LC.
Too much complaint from people that will never afford one. You get a 10 second car and an insane 0-62 time with a car that’s got S class interior and comfort. If you want performance you look at the black series lineup that shreds any BMW or Audi in existence 🤦♂️ never seen a dumber comment section
@@r35spectgt-r84 tbh your comment is kinda stupid itself.. the car sure has Performance but tbh most people dont really car about 1/4 mile times or 0-62. accelerating from a standstill is one of the least used things in a car and gets boring pretty quickly. comfort? literally everyone reviewing this Car says its hard as stone. you feel pretty much every Bump because the dampers, springs and everything is so agressively tuned for Performance. Also the interior aint shared with s-class, its shared with the Cls. So yeah.. you should at least be sure that what you say is true before calling a whole comment section dumb..
@@questionyourself718 literally driven the latest models, I work at Mercedes’ and they’re comfortable. Not sure we’re you’re getting this info
@@questionyourself718 they still use the same parts 🤦♂️ look at the steering wheel, led strips and so on.. they use the exact same material
@@r35spectgt-r84 its not. its the same Design in the Front but if you ever sat in them you would realize that the door panels are different as well as some knobs. the stitching on the s-class is better and its not exactly the same materials (s-class can be equipped with Merino Leather). Also the Cls and s-class are very Similar. thats because the e-class, cls, s-class and amg gt all share parts. but saying its the SAME interior as the s-class is wrong and you should know that. the Amg gt shares its Platform with the cls and not the s-class and its hidden in the Details and the cabin feel.
Honest and excellent review Matt, BMW any day:) you are awesome

They’re both admirable cars in their own rights. But I can see where Mat is coming from. The price difference really doesn’t seem worth it. Whichever one you prefer personally, it is a hard stretch to justify the massive price leap when the performance isn’t that much more.

What's the braking distance and from what speed for the Bimmer?
Feels better on track? Maybe but the GT63 S has a marginally better time at the Hockenheim with PS4S while Bimmer was on P Zero Corsa. The GT63 S with so much weight is the record holder at the Nürburgring for 4 door executive cars, so how is that a bad engineering and when this hybrid tech is for performance!!!!
R.I.P m5 cs😂
What will happen if u do that to a m5 cs
That intro tho... iPhone and serious changes i don't think so😅
Not analogy i would use in this example
Similarly to the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (a mouthful) I’d rather go without the hybrid and spend a bit on tweaks.
Gaining 200hp with extra weight is really pointless!
Gambling the reliability isn´t a good choice..
Super fast car, but I agree with you. So much going on between the ICE and the elec motor. I mean, if you can hear all that going on, just think how it will be like in 30K miles. So much going on, what will go wrong when the car is a year old??

@@RiasGremoryS54 The thing is you have not seen one in person even which i have. It looks so mid compared to any mercedes sedan and it sounds worse than my 2.3L 4 cylinder
8 miles is not enough for around town. My wife's Cayenne S e-hybrid only does 11 when it gets really cold in the deep of winter (below 0 F), and that is barely enough for many local trips. In summer it can do 17-20, and that's fine. I think 30-40 would be ideal and to the point of diminishing returns.
I hate how they made it look so unaggressive. when I look at it I think it makes maximum 300hp. it just doesn't look good anymore.
(from the back it looks pretty good tho)
Sure seems like it's best to save the frustration and money and get the 639hp version. If it was tuned better and maybe a 20kw capacity, it could be something, but and 6kw and from your test drive, it's pretty clear all they were going for to to be able to claim the line has a hybrid available for marketing wank.
what were they thinking, of some sour kraut? why make a 4 door NSX?
