Powerful Hybrid Engine and Performance
At the heart of the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E is a sophisticated 2.0-liter AMG turbocharged engine paired with an Electric Drive Unit (EDU) on the rear axle, combining to produce a remarkable 680 bhp and 1,020 Nm of torque. This hybrid powertrain propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, setting a new benchmark in performance for compact luxury sports cars.
The engine is mated to an AMG-tuned eight-speed automatic transmission, complemented by the 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system for enhanced handling and control. Additionally, the car offers an all-electric driving range of 13 km, a convenient feature for short-distance urban commutes.
Innovative Driving Features: Drift Mode and Rear-Axle Steering
The C 63 S E comes with ‘Drift Mode’ and active rear-axle steering, standard for the first time. These innovative features enhance agility and handling, making the vehicle ideal for spirited driving on both track and street. The electrically-assisted exhaust turbocharger ensures rapid torque build-up, delivering exceptional responsiveness and agility.
