Launching a new car with a special edition has become a habit among premium carmakers. Typically filled to the brim with options, the Edition 1 versions by Mercedes-AMG don’t just offer an attractive package of options, they also come with a specific look and style.
Now Mercedes-AMG is using the occasion of the Nürburgring 24-hour race to launch the Edition 1 of the GT63 S 4-Door. The new GT 4-Door already is one of the most stunning sedans out there, and the Edition 1 treatment makes it even more desirable.
The Edition 1 package is offered only on the range-topping GT63 S (not on the GT53 or the GT63). That means it comes with the 630-hp variant of the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, which AMG claims is capable of hurling the GT to 60 mph in a mere 3.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 195 mph. (All versions of the GT 4-Door have 4Matic all-wheel drive as standard equipment.)

The Competition model will cost $110,995, a $7400 increase over the base price of the standard 2018 M5. The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine gets a small bump from the base M5’s 600 horsepower to 617. The power peak also changes, from 5700 to 6600 rpm in the lesser car to exactly 6000 rpm in the Competition. Maximum torque remains at 553 lb-ft and is available from 1800 rpm all the way until 5860 rpm, an increase of 160 revs at the high end. The result, BMW says, is a zero-to-60-mph time that drops by 0.1 second to 3.1 seconds; however, the regular car hit 60 mph in a shocking 2.8 seconds  in our testing , so BMW’s time is likely ...
  German firm forecasts sales of EVs and plug-in hybrids will top 800,000 a year by 2025 in multi-billion-pound electric push Audi is betting big on electric and plug-in hybrid models, after announcing it expects “around one in three” customers will choose an electrified car within seven years. The firm says every car in its line-up will be available as an electric model by 2025, with most being fully electric vehicles (EVs) and a “smaller proportion” being plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).
