The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has long been synonymous with raw power, roaring V8 engines, and exhilarating driving dynamics. For 2025, a new chapter begins, and it’s electrified. Meet the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE Sedan, a vehicle that redefines what performance means in the modern era. While purists may initially raise an eyebrow at the departure from the traditional V8, the numbers speak for themselves: this is the most powerful four-cylinder production car ever, and the strongest C-Class in history.
Hybrid Powerhouse: Engine and Performance Specs
Under the hood of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG lies a technological marvel: a handcrafted AMG 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine, boosted by an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and supported by a rear-mounted 150kW permanently synchronous electric motor. This advanced hybrid powertrain delivers a staggering 671 horsepower and a colossal 752 lb-ft of torque. This translates to breathtaking performance figures, launching the C63 AMG from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds.
The Formula 1 influence is undeniable here. The electric exhaust-gas turbocharger, a technology derived directly from F1 racing, virtually eliminates turbo lag, providing instantaneous throttle response and relentless power delivery across the rev range. Paired with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9-speed automatic transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, the C63 AMG offers both blistering acceleration and confident handling in all conditions.
