The Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Sport Coupe Unveiled in Detroit

Mercedes-Benz did some nifty stuff in Detroit this morning during their display at the North American International Auto Show. They showed off the amazing self-driving F 015 Luxury in Motion concept that debuted in Las Vegas, promised to increase the brand’s plug-in hybrid offerings in 2016, and unveiled both the Mercedes GLE 450 AMG Coupe and this Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Sport Coupe.

The Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Sport Coupe is a sporty SUV that’s powered by an AMG 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine which yields 577 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque, and is able to rocket this thing from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. That motor is mated to the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox and 4Matic all-wheel drive with rear-biased power distribution.

“We see great potential in this vehicle segment, which is new to Mercedes-AMG,” said AMG chief Tobias Moers. “The GLE63 Coupe is the logical progression of our ambitious growth strategy – after all, in 1999 with the first high-performance SUV ML55 AMG, we established a completely new segment. The new GLE63 Coupe will inspire SUV fans focused on dynamics while at the same time representing a new interpretation of driving performance.”

The car’s Dynamic Select system enables the driver to choose from a variety of modes, from Comfort to Sport Plus, while the Dynamic Select system adjusts roll stabilization, damping, suspension tune, throttle responsiveness, transmission mapping, and more.

The front end also features a typical twin louvre in silver chrome, anlong with a large Mercedes logo in the center. Additionally, the flared wheel arches in black add to the overall visual appeal of the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Sport Coupe.
