  • 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance pricing and specifications
  • 620kW/1400Nm plug-in hybrid has supercar acceleration
  • Regular GT63 V8 no longer available
  • Priced from $399,900 plus on-road costs

The most powerful series-production car to wear the Mercedes badge is now on sale in Australia – the 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance plug-in hybrid – from $399,900 plus on-road costs.

After multiple delays – which were meant to see the vehicle in showrooms before the end of last year – the GT63 S E Performance is the plug-in hybrid version of Mercedes-AMG’s flagship twin-turbo V8 sedan.

The regular, non-hybrid version is no longer sold, and the plug-in hybrid is now the only model variant.

It is priced from $399,900 plus on-road costs – making it the most expensive Mercedes-AMG model on sale in Australia today, though not the all-time most expensive, which remains the circa-$800,000 GT Black Series coupe of 2021.

The GT63 S E Performance combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8 developing 470kW and 900Nm with a 150kW electric motor for system outputs of 620kW and 1400Nm.

It will be the most powerful Mercedes vehicle ever delivered in Australia, exceeding the 537kW/900Nm GT Black Series.

While eight examples of the circa-750kW, Formula One-derived AMG One hypercar have reportedly been sold to Australian buyers, none are expected to be registered on local roads as the car will only be built in left-hand drive.

Mercedes-AMG claims a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, thanks to all-wheel drive and a nine-speed multi-clutch automatic transmission.

The lithium-ion battery in the rear of the car can store 6.1kWh, and has been designed in conjunction with the Mercedes-AMG Formula One team for rapid discharges and recharges, rather than a long electric driving range.

The 150kW electric motor is positioned on the rear axle and is integrated with its own two-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential.

Electric driving range is claimed as just 12km – while fuel economy in mixed driving of 7.7 litres per 100km is quoted.

Standard equipment includes dual 12.3-inch interior screens, heated and cooled front seats, a 14-speaker Burmester sound system, adaptive air suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, rear-wheel steering, and a suite of advanced safety features.

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance is available to order now.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2023 LDV T60 Max price and specs: Prices up by more than $4000

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
