Meet the Most Powerful Mercedes-Benz Models

For drivers who have high demands, Mercedes-Benz is the only option. If you’re going to the track, want the latest electric performance, or need a tow vehicle for your next weekend adventure, Mercedes-Benz has you covered. We’re shining a spotlight on some of the best Mercedes-Benz models for drivers who need more than just a vehicle that gets them from point A to point B.

Most Horsepower

The Mercedes-Benz AMG® GT R Coupe is a masterpiece of automotive engineering. This precision machine uses a handcrafted 4.0-liter AMG® V8 biturbo engine to produce an astonishing 577 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Speed enthusiasts may tear up at the site of this masterpiece of engineering going 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, which is less time than it took you to read this sentence.

Most Towing Capacity

The legendary Mercedes-AMG G-Class SUV isn't far behind. Also equipped with a beefy 4.0-liter AMG® V8 biturbo engine, this monster can put out 577 horses and 627 lb-ft of torque. This recognizable luxury SUV cruises over mountains as easily as it does down the interstate. Not only can it accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds, but it can also tow up to 7,700 lbs. when properly equipped. That’s a boat or a couple of jet skis on a trailer (AKA "an incredibly fun way to spend a weekend").

Most Powerful Hybrid

The GLC 350e 4MATIC Plug-in Hybrid SUV’s combination of a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and an 85 kW electric motor is a technological achievement. This modern marvel puts out an impressive combined 315 hp, and it accelerates from 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds. In addition, an E-BOOST feature lets the electric motor raise total torque up to 413 lb-ft, so drivers enjoy enthusiastically responsive (and environmentally responsible) power. It's not just fast, either—it gets an amazing 75 MPGe on the highway, too.*

These are just the top three models on our list, and there are many more feats of strength from Mercedes-Benz we would love to tell you about. So come see us at Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring or contact us today to learn more about the powerful options we have in our showroom.
