The GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe features the Mercedes-AMG's thunderous 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo.
Do you remember that we talked recently about the magnificent Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S? We took a brief look at some of the best features of a sporty and thrilling sedan that makes an almost flawless option for any modern family. Here, we explore the coupe in more detail, as the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door coupe deserves as much attention and praise as the sedan.
Again, Mercedes-AMG embedded all its unique skills into the Mercedes-Benz model's design, making the coupe athletic-looking and both exciting and convenient to drive daily. The GT 63 S features a striking silhouette that is hard to overlook on the road. With impressive race-inspired specs, the coupe is ready to take on the road at all times and without sacrificing everyday comfort.
Prospective customers can expect to find everything the heart desires from a modern ride in the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S, from cozy seating and luxurious materials to advanced tech. The famous Mercedes-Benz subsidiary didn't overlook comfort and convenience in favor of power.
However, we come back to the performance once again because it's still something that will excite the drivers the most. If you haven't had a chance to read more about the specs of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S and the engine that powers it up, now is the time to learn all the compelling details.

Unlike the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 and the GT 53, which come equipped with inline-six engines, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and the 63 S pack a fire-breathing V8. Why do we say fire-breathing, you may ask? Well, because, as you may expect, the AMG team did more than a good job on it.
We're talking about a 4-liter V8 Biturbo engine that has already been used in other AMG models and is known for its impressive performance. Yet, the Mercedes-Benz subsidiary took this engine and further enhanced it for the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S to ensure superior performance. The V8 Biturbo highlighted here ended up delivering 639 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque over an engine speed range from 2,500 to 4,500 RPM.
How is this performance superiority reflected in speed and acceleration? The V8 Biturbo allows the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S to go from 0 to 62 mph in as little as 3.2 seconds and achieve a maximum speed of 196 mph. Compared to the Mercedes-AMG GT 63, that is 54 ponies and 74 lb-ft of torque extra. The V8 in the "standard" GT 63 delivers 585 horsepower and 590 torque, achieving the 0-62 mph acceleration in 3.4 seconds. Of course, these specs are impressive themselves, but the S version goes one step farther.
If you're interested in how the 4-liter V8 engine works with the biturbocharing, it comes down to the two exhaust-gas turbochargers arranged between the cylinder banks. The hot inner V ensures a compact engine design and a swift turbochargers' response. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S also features active engine mounts for a seamless connection to the powertrain and balanced driving dynamics.

Now, Mercedes-AMG uses two twin-scroll exhaust-gas turbochargers and a combination of other innovations to make the GT 63 S a swift and admirable performer. Firstly, the twin-scroll technology with turbine wheels mounted in anti-friction bearings reduces friction. Secondly, it ensures balanced use of exhaust gas flow.
All other components have been left intact from the standard Mercedes-Benz V8 Biturbo, including the spray-guided direct petrol injection with piezo injectors, the all-aluminum crankcase, the four-valve-per-cylinder design with camshaft adjustment, and more. Yet, the mentioned advancements have left the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S with quite a few extra ponies and torque.
We almost forgot to mention the intelligent AMG Cylinder Management. As the name suggests, this system works to deactivate the second, third, fifth, and eight-cylinder when possible to reduce fuel consumption. The driver only needs to enter the Comfort driving mode, and the system will work between 1,000 and 3,250 RPM. How neat is that? Of course, the AMG division ensured a swift transition between the driving modes, so there's no risk of losing driving comfort at any time.
As we briefly mentioned in the introduction, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is a full-package sports coupe. It's good-looking, luxurious, convenient, tech-equipped, and comfortable. Knowing that it packs an impressive V8 engine makes it a good option from the start, but all the other aspects and components further enhance its appeal. In summary, what we want to say is that the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is a beautiful coupe with an overall impressive design, and it's worth every penny.
