AMG's all-out C63 has arrived! This time it plugs in, with 670bhp on tap and every bit of performance tech you could imagine...
. AMG’s strategy for the next few years is becoming clear: four-cylinder hybrids for the smaller cars, eight-cylinder hybrids for the bigger ones, and all-electric models starting in a couple of years.First up, hats off to the software guys at AMG who have woven together a formidably complicated set of components into what seems to be an impressive performance car, albeit one that’s very heavy: 2111kg for the saloon, 2145 for the estate.
The e-motor has its own two-speed gearbox, automatically shifting to keep it as close to its 13,500rpm peak as possible. The overall powertrain has Merc’s familiar nine-speed automatic, able to drive all four wheels, with a limited-slip differential, and rear-wheel steering to tighten the turning circle. The chassis is relatively conventional, although finely honed to cope with all that power and weight. Suspension is by steel springs and adaptive dampers.
In the cabin, there’s a new steering wheel, new sports seats are available, and the instruments have extra functions to give details of the hybrid system and Track Pace datalogger. ‘Technically it’s a hybrid, but the way this hybrid is done is very different,’ says AMG chief technical officer Jochen Hermann. ‘The battery and the set-up of this car is all about performance, not about electric range. In 30 minutes’ drive you can completely discharge it and recharge it, twice. With E Performance we are really recuperating a lot.
