Mercedes-AMG has unleashed its latest creation, and it's nothing short of breathtaking. The GT63 S E Performance stands as a testament to engineering prowess and a bold step forward in hybrid performance vehicles. Packed with an astonishing 805 horsepower and jaw-dropping acceleration figures, this coupe redefines what it means to combine electrification with raw power.
At the heart of the GT63 S E Performance lies a sophisticated powertrain. A potent twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine graces the front wheels, producing a formidable 603 horsepower on its own. However, the true magic happens when this traditional powerhouse teams up with an electric motor positioned at the rear axle. Together, they generate an awe-inspiring 1,400 Nm of torque, propelling this machine from 0 to 100 kmh in an astounding 2.7 seconds—a feat that firmly places it among the elite of high-performance vehicles.
Despite its hybrid nature, efficiency takes a backseat to pure performance in this model. The 6.1 kWh battery pack prioritizes power delivery over extended electric-only range. Mercedes-AMG's engineering brilliance ensures the battery remains at an optimal temperature for peak performance, with flexible charging options that cater to driver preferences, including one-pedal driving akin to electric vehicles.
Managing this formidable power is a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission coupled with Mercedes-AMG's renowned 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. The electric motor primarily drives the rear wheels, seamlessly engaging the front when extra traction is needed. Complementing this powertrain are rear-axle steering, AMG Active Ride Control suspension with roll stabilization, and carbon ceramic brakes—features that enhance both handling and stopping power.
Visually, the GT63 S E Performance retains the sleek and aggressive design of its predecessors, with subtle distinctions denoting its electrified nature. Special badging adorns the trunk lid, and a discreet charging port is cleverly integrated into the rear fascia. Beyond these cosmetic touches, the active aerodynamics have been fine-tuned to optimize performance specifically for the hybrid configuration.
Inside, the cockpit exudes luxury and technology, typical of Mercedes-AMG. The 2+2 seating layout promises comfort and a blend of cutting-edge amenities, affirming that this supercar is not only about speed but also about delivering a premium driving experience.
While the exact pricing remains a mystery until its late 2024 release, anticipation is already building among enthusiasts and collectors alike. The Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance promises to redefine the boundaries of hybrid sports cars, setting a new benchmark for exhilarating performance wrapped in a sophisticated and elegant package.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
