This is the new Mercedes-AMG C63! 👀 It swaps its V8 for a 670bhp PHEV system for its latest generation, with four-wheel drive as standard! Read all the details on Autocar 🔥
“The all-wheel drive system is one big plus for this car, because that was a pain point for our customers with the outgoing car”, said Wiebking, adding that a lot of owners felt the old rear-drive car was sometimes too much to handle.
Although the electric motor is mounted on the rear axle, it can also send power to the front when required. This means that even in EV mode, the C63 drives all four wheels.To keep that mass in check, AMG is throwing its entire arsenal of technology at the C63. At the front, the steering knuckles and supporting joints for the spring link are bespoke and lengthen the wheelbase by 10mm compared with the regular C-Class.
The C63 also gets upgraded brakes with six-piston calipers at the front and single-piston items at the rear. The friction brakes are supplemented by strong regenerative braking, adjustable through four stages."The way you drive this car, for us, is changing the game. The difference between the C63 V8 versus the new C63 S E-Performance is all about electrification. We are increasing performance while increasing the efficiency of our powertrain. I think that's very unique.
