In 1999, the ML 55 AMG shocked the world with its 255kW V8 petrol engine, astounding with impressive levels of performance. 22 years since the original made its debut, Mercedes-AMG has launched the latest iteration of its GLE 63 S AMG, alongside the GLE 63 S AMG Coupé. Powering the behemoths is AMG s bi-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine that offers 450kW and 850Nm. In addition, Merc s EQ Boost starter-alternator adds an additional 16kW and 250Nm that can be temporarily called upon.
Johannes Fritz, Co-CEO for Mercedes-Benz South Africa and Executive Director for Mercedes-Benz Cars, says: Our new GLE Performance models are embarking on another new chapter of our drive technology, which we are also extending to other model series, as we move towards electrification and hybridisation. With our new premium SUVs, our customers can look forward to an unrivalled package of driving performance, high day-to-day suitability, optimum traction on and comfort on long journeys.
