It seems that the competition between Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance Plug-in Hybrid and the electric Porsche Taycan Turbo S will continue. Both models have separate fan base. Both hail their respective favorites. Just check out the forum and see for yourself how fans of both models are at each other’s throat. Here goes a comparative study between two models! Choose yours wisely.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E vs Porsche Taycan
Surprise: Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance is heavier
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S with two electric motors and all-wheel drive weighs 10 kg less than Mercedes’ high-performance plug-in hybrid variant with V8 and electric motor. What is the most effective concept?
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance high-performance PHEV variant, which is the most powerful PHEV in the sector with 843 hp and more than 1400 Nm, was unveiled at the IAA in Munchen in fall 2021. (1470 Nm estimated by auto motor und sport).
The 9-speed automatic transmission transmits power to all four wheels via the 639PS 4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with integrated starter generator, while the 204PS electric motor powers the back axle through its own gearbox. There are two different speed settings. The system is sophisticated, and it also weighs 185 kg more than the standard V8 twin-turbo engine version. Mercedes’ plug-in hybrid vehicle, on the other hand, is 45 kilograms lighter than its immediate competition, the Porsche Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid, but 10 kilograms heavier than the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
Thus, despite the fact that the battery alone weighs 650 kg, the electric model Taycan Turbo S no longer seems to be as hefty. In comparison, the Mercedes-AMG GT SE Performance’s battery weighs only 89kg, and the 66-liter fuel tank is located beneath it. The Taycan, on the other hand, has a floor-mounted battery, which lowers the center of gravity by 2 cm compared to the 911. Mercedes-AMG does not have this benefit though and is also larger: with a length of 5.05 meters and a wheelbase of 2.95 meters, it is 9 centimeters longer and the wheelbase is just 5 centimeters longer than the Taycan.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance has More Power And Torque
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE has improved performance. Taycan has a maximum HP of 761 for 2.5 seconds, but only for 2.5 seconds because it only has 625 HP the rest of the time. Thus, Mercedes has 82 horsepower and 400 Nm greater torque than the Taycan (Taycan 1050 Nm). The torque differential is significant, and it corresponds to the torque of a high-performance 2-liter diesel engine.
Even though the Taycan’s 761 CV is delivered in less time (2.5 s) than it takes to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, it is still a quick car: it reaches 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, whereas Mercedes takes a tenth of a second longer: 2.9 seconds. The Taycan also has a 2-speed automatic gearbox, which is a rare in the world of electric cars and allows it to accelerate quickly and reach a high speed of 260 km/h. The AMG achieves a top speed of 316 kilometers per hour. The most significant factor for the Taycan, however, is range, particularly at high speeds.
Overall, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is an impressive car. To keep it in good working, bring it in for Mercedes-Benz repair Greensboro NC.
Porsche is cheaper but has less autonomy
The Porsche features a 93.4 kWh battery, which is a large capacity for an electric car, but it is only comparable to 11 liters of gasoline in terms of energy. The Taycan Turbo S has a range of 390 to 416 kilometers and a consumption of 25 kWh/100 kilometers. However, as the maximum speed in the WLTP cycle is 120 km/h, this consumption is irrelevant at high speeds.
On the other hand, the AMG C63 has a small 6.1-kWh battery and will have an electric range of between 12 and 14 kilometers in the future. However, the tank is just 66 liters, which is 14 liters less than the normal model. A smaller tank does not imply the PHEV is less expensive than the conventional version because the V8 uses some of its power to keep the battery charge level at a specified number.
On Taycan, it takes 5.5 minutes, or at least 22.5 minutes from 5 to 80% to charge 100 kilometers, but only if you have a high-power DC station, which is unusual.
Porsche is a bit roomier
The Taycan has 122 liters more storage than the AMG, which is 9 cm longer but only has a 335-liter trunk. It also features a hole in the footwell for passengers in the back who don’t want to sit with their knees in the air. Even though the Taycan is 6cm shorter but has a Cx of 0.25, there is ample area for the head (AMG 0.32).
