NEW MERCEDES-AMG C63 S: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!

EV Channels Review

The new Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance marks a significant departure from its V8 predecessors, embracing a 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain. While the loss of the V8 is a point of contention for enthusiasts, the new model boasts a substantial power increase to 680 hp and 1,020 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.4 seconds. The design receives a progressive update with a new bonnet vent, aggressive front bumper, and a refined rear. The interior features AMG-specific displays and a performance-oriented steering wheel. However, the increased weight (over 2,100 kg) and the hybrid system's focus on performance over pure electric range are notable drawbacks. The reviewer highlights the extensive use of optional carbon fiber trim and the advanced, Formula 1-derived technology, including electronically assisted turbocharging and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, as key selling points. The car's hybrid nature is emphasized by unique badging and an electric sound system that amplifies engine noise.
