The new Mercedes-AMG C63 is here - and it's a packing a 680hp 2.0-litre hybrid 🤯
This is the big one, then. Though the Mercedes-AMG range continues to diversify, from flat-plane cranked supercars to seven-seat SUVs, nothing quite represents the division like the C63. Take one ordinary compact Mercedes saloon or wagon, install a mighty V8, watch the buyers flock in. The method extends back to those AMG C-Classes that existed prior to the seminal W204 C63 as well, the C55 and C43, meaning a switch from tradition is arguably more significant here than anywhere else.
Then it gets very new school Benz - i.e. very F1 inspired, very AMG E Performance. The C63 follows the template laid out by the GT 63 S E Performance, in that the aim of electrification is to dramatically increase performance for a minimal weight gain - as opposed to creating an AMG PHEV with a huge electric range. The headline numbers are a C63 rated at 156g/km, 41mpg and with eight miles of electric range. But there’s far more to it than that.
How will this all work in reality? A lot of drive modes, for one thing - even more so than the usual AMG standard. There are eight of them now under AMG Dynamic Select - Electric, Comfort, Battery Hold, Sport, Sport+, Race, Slippery and Individual, each varying how much of a role the electric motor plays as well as the usual AMG Ride Control suspension and steering parameters.
