The S-Class is actually 300 lbs lighter than the regular GT63s. Either way, I would also take a regular 63 over the ePerformance. There are regulatory advantages in Europe to have the ePerformance instead in terms of classification.

Either way, I’m mainly saying for an S-Class, sporty handling isn’t exactly a priority, so the hybrid powertrain and its extra weight aren’t so much a deterrent here as they are in the GT which is focused on handling and athletic driving.

Around two years later, Mercedes AMG will present the AMG version of the S-Class.
After the C 63 SE Performance, the S-Class AMG will be the third version with the AMG E Performance drive.
The new S-Class AMG will also be the first S-Class sedan to feature the central star in the grille.
Like the AMG GT 63 SE Performance, the S-Class has the V8 BiTurbo in addition to the 204 hp electric motor.
Compared to the AMG GT 63 SE Performance, however, the V8 BiTurbo in the S-Class will perform slightly less than in the AMG GT 4-door X290.
Although the Mercedes AMG S 63 E Performance uses the same P3 plug-in hybrid AMG kit and also uses the 4.0 liter V8 BiTurbo, it will not have the maximum output of 843 hp. It could be that the V8 specification of the Mercedes AMG SL 63 with 585 hp is installed in the S 63 e. Thus, the performance would be 789 hp. But that doesn't mean you're underpowered. You still have to wait for the final performance values.
AMG could have chosen the Paris Auto Salon as the world premiere for the AMG S-Class. The Mercedes EQE SUV (X294) will also be presented there .
If you had known beforehand that the AMG P3 plug-in hybrid would have been so delayed, the S 63 AMG would probably have first appeared with the M177 including 48 volt ISG drive.
After the world premiere of the C 63 SE Performance, the S-Class will soon also be presented as an AMG version
There were long delays with the AMG E Performance drive. The current S-Class series was delivered to customers in November 2020.Around two years later, Mercedes AMG will present the AMG version of the S-Class.

The P3 ePerformance models are not without criticism due to their significant increase in weight. On the GT63s, the ePerformance adds a whopping 575lbs. The car weighs 5250lbs. Nothing sporty about this and reviews have not been that favorable over the standard 63 model.

300lbs lighter? Isn’t the S-Class 4700lbs in 500 form? That would mean the gas GT63S would be 5,000lbs which I don’t believe to be correct.
Either way, I’m mainly saying for an S-Class, sporty handling isn’t exactly a priority, so the hybrid powertrain and its extra weight aren’t so much a deterrent here as they are in the GT which is focused on handling and athletic driving.

Based on info on the other forum, S63 is being released shortly - probably at Paris show next week.

Just looked. Seems like the charge port is on the driver side which is much more elegant than on the rear like the GT63s ePerformance. But the car also has a funky grill, hopefully pre-production, that shows the distronic plus radar next to the star.

Agree with that, hopefully it is just the way the image was taken. I think the car will be revealed next month because if I recalled correctly, they posted a similar teaser there for the W206 C 43 or was it W206 C 63 e performance just a month before official reveal.

Don't worry about it, the teaser is still a fully camouflaged vehicle, like previously mentioned it is likely the reveal is near anyways (like maybe next month) so you aren't missing out much.
