The electrified MercedesAMG C63 S E Performance offers class-leading numbers, but they fail to translate to an engaging driving experience -
The big story is the 400 volt battery which has been designed to allow both very fast charging and discharging. It has 560 individual cells and a ‘high-tech’ coolant that flows around them, keeping a consistent temperature that averages just 45 degrees celsius.
Despite the headline figures, you can be surprisingly liberal with the throttle. The all-wheel drive system keeps the torque largely contained, even when you throw everything at the exit of a tight corner the resultant slide is very easy to control and gather up. If anything the outright response and performance doesn’t feel as impressive as the numbers would suggest. It feels quick, but not that quick. Blame the weight. Again.
