NOT ONE TO SHY AWAY from controversy in its quest for speed, Mercedes-AMG boldly changed course with its latest-generation GT coupe.
Mercedes-AMG GT63 SE Performance HIGHS: Devilishly handsome, neck-straining athleticism, meaningful electric assistance.
LOWS: A prime candidate for Ozempic, wonky brake feel, shrunken cargo hold.
While its predecessor was a lean rear-wheeldrive hunter of Porsche's sportiest 911s, the current model has grown larger, become more sophisticated, and (gasp) adopted all-wheel drive.
It's even sprouted a pair of optional rear jump seats. The addition of a plug-in hybrid GT63 S E Performance model certainly won't stifle critics of evolutionary bloat. But the result is the brand's quickest and most powerful two-door this side of the Formula 1-engined AMG One.
