At present, the body of the Mercedes-AMG GT63 that we can see on the road is still the V8 high-cylinder-count high-displacement model that makes people dreamHowever, the official has said that after the emergence of the four-cylinder C63 to promote the performance sub-brand to enter the era of electrification, there are rumors that Mercedes-AMG is starting to prepare the design and planning of the pure electric car model, if it comes true, this car will exist in the market as the successor to the GT63, and it will also be the first work under Mercedes-AMG to use a new generation of AMG's exclusive platform architecture.

Judging from the information obtained by the author so far, Mercedes-AMG, a new generation of pure electric platform, will be entrusted to the British YASA acquired by Mercedes-Benz in 2021 to be responsible for the most important electric motor module in the overall architecture, and some overseas ** have preemptively confirmed to YASA that the total weight of the electric motor is only 24 kg, and it can operate alone** 480 horsepower. In this sense, if the Mercedes-AMG were to build its body with two motors, the successor to the GT63 would likely surpass the Mercedes-AMG EQ53 4MATIC with a peak horsepower of 751 hp.

As for why it is classified as the successor to the Mercedes-AMG GT63, Robert Lesnik, the head of the department responsible for body styling, directly cites the Vision 2025 concept car as the first all-electric AMG work designed by Lanben, so the basic shape of this car is a high-performance car with a four-door coupe design that can perfectly accommodate four people. In addition, in order to make the vehicle space the same as in the previous internal combustion engine period, the official specially adopted a new style, lighter, thinner and smaller battery module.
Therefore, it is a matter of time before Mercedes-AMG enters the pure electric era, but according to the current four-cylinder engine with PHEV plug-in power system co-construction of the C63, sales are not as expected, and it is reasonable to rush to accelerate the electrification of the Mercedes-AMG brand at this stage.
