Off the line, the AMG S 63 E Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.27 s versus 4.26 s for the Model 3 Long Range AWD. At this point, the AMG S 63 E Performance leads by 0.99 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the AMG S 63 E Performance is doing 165 km/h against 145 km/h for the Model 3 Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.86 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the AMG S 63 E Performance crosses the line in 11.12 s versus 12.62 s. The 1.50 s gap represents roughly 72 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the AMG S 63 E Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 241 km/h versus 199 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the AMG S 63 E Performance finishes in 20.09 s versus 23.17 s, with a 3.08 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the AMG S 63 E Performance is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Model 3 Long Range AWD at 233 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 5.19 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.60 seconds. The 0.99 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
