The Power and Innovation of the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE
April 22 2024,
Mercedes-AMG has always been at the forefront of performance automotive engineering, continuously pushing boundaries and embracing innovation. With the upcoming C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, AMG has created a true game-changer that rewrites the rules of high-performance vehicles by infusing Formula 1 technology into a road-legal sports sedan.
This marvel of German engineering combines the talents of AMG's engineers with insights from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team. Under the hood lies a hybrid powertrain like no other - a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine at the front complemented by an electric motor on the rear axle. This revolutionary setup produces a staggering 671 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful C-Class ever.
The star of the show is AMG's handcrafted 2.0L M139l engine which makes an incredible 469 hp alone - a new record as the world's most powerful production four-cylinder. But it's the ingenious electric turbocharger technology inspired by F1 that really makes this engine shine. By eliminating turbo lag, the electric motor provides an instantaneous torque response akin to AMG's Formula 1 racers. The C 63 rockets from 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
While blisteringly quick, the C 63 hasn't forsaken its refined roots. The muscular yet stylish bodywork hints at the beast lurking underneath with an AMG-specific grille, aerodynamic hood outlets, and widened fenders. Inside, AMG's latest Performance seats and the intuitive MBUX infotainment system with hybrid-specific displays create a premium yet driver-focused environment.
However, it's the cutting-edge technology where this AMG truly shines. The 400V high-performance battery utilizes direct cell cooling derived from Formula 1 to maintain optimum temperatures for maximum power delivery. The advanced recuperation system can even be tuned through four recuperation stages for ultimate efficiency.
When it comes time to unleash the fury, the C 63's eight AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes tailor the powertrain, suspension, steering and more for any situation. The "RACE" mode is particularly exhilarating, pushing the hybrid system to its limits on the track. Mechanical highlights like rear-axle steering, an electronic limited-slip differential, and huge AMG brakes make this a true driver's car.
With the 2024 C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, Mercedes-AMG has brought the future of electrified performance to the present. This technological tour de force blends the expectations of a premium sports sedan with the thrilling capabilities of a race-bred hybrid. For those who crave innovative engineering and relentless power delivery, the C 63 is in a class by itself.
Get ready for the highly anticipated arrival of the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE! Keep your eyes peeled for updates on pricing, final specifications, and available packages. Excitement is building as we prepare to launch this cutting-edge addition to the Mercedes-AMG lineup.
