2023 Mercedes-Benz Amg GT

The AMG GT 63 S E Performance is Mercedes-AMG's most technically ambitious grand tourer — a four-door coupe that pairs a hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with a hybrid electric drive system for a combined 831bhp, channelled through 4MATIC+ AWD. This 2023 example has covered just 9,826 miles and wears the rare Manufaktur Graphite Grey Magno finish, a matte paint option that costs £3,125 over standard and gives the car a distinctly understated presence compared to the usual metallic palette. Original list price was circa £190,000, making this a heavily over-specified car at its asking price.

The interior specification is equally considered. Manufaktur Exclusive Nappa Leather in Macchiato Beige and Magma — a £5,550 option — lines the cabin, while the Rear Luxury Lounge package (£3,700) elevates the passenger experience to a level more associated with chauffeur-driven cars than 196mph performers. Mercedes' manufacturer warranty runs until October 2026, providing meaningful remaining coverage on a car whose powertrain complexity could otherwise give pause.

The performance numbers are striking in context: 2.9 seconds to 62mph and a 196mph top speed from a car with four usable seats and genuine long-distance composure. The electric motor fills torque gaps at lower revs, making the nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT feel more responsive in daily use than a pure combustion car of similar output. Few cars at this price point offer this combination of space, technology, and outright pace.
