Ask any car enthusiast to describe a performance vehicle, and they'll probably talk about power, acceleration, speed, handling – or all of the above.

 

With an electric motor and the world's most powerful series-production four-cylinder turbo engine, the all new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE Sedan is redefining what performance cars can be. A contemporary take on a sports sedan, the latest icon from Mercedes-AMG blends the raw power of the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE badge with a future-focused, electrified driving experience.

 

A "technological masterpiece"

 

The AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is equipped with an efficient plug-in hybrid drivetrain and boasts a 15km range of purely electric driving. While electric mode is very much a new thing for the iconic AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, the ultra-light 6.1 kWh battery and electric motor were developed using Formula 1-inspired technologies to deliver irresistible levels of performance.



At the heart of the vehicle is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine – and with an astounding 350kW and 545Nm, it's the most powerful series-production four-cylinder engine ever produced.

 

A technically advanced all-wheel-drive 4MATIC+ system securely harnesses the combined 500kW and 1020Nm outputs of the petrol and electric elements to deliver acceleration that sets it apart. A 0-100km/h sprint in just 3.4 seconds puts the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE into the realm of supercars.
