Off the line, the AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE hits 100 km/h in 3.27 s versus 5.16 s for the Bmw 745e. At this point, the AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE leads by 1.89 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE is doing 165 km/h against 139 km/h for the Bmw 745e. The gap is 1.49 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 13.37 s. The 2.25 s gap represents roughly 104 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 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE finishes in 20.09 s versus 24.07 s, with a 3.99 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
The AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw 745e’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE and the Bmw 745e are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 5.08 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.80 seconds. The 1.89 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
