Seems like you'd lose 200 hp when the battery dies as well. So I wonder how many runs you'll get at 3.3 sec. I guess we'll have to wait for the tests. Sad to say this is probably the future.

I can see the appeal if the C63 had more electric range. 200hp with the torque of an electric motor is good enough for short in-town errands. I would likely opt for full electric over the C63. It's not like you'd be losing V8 sound...can't imagine the 4 cyl sounds all that good (will reserve final judgment till later).

Nuts! I'd have an M4 X-drive over this all day everyday. In fact, a Tesla would be better at least it would be cheaper to run!

I think it looks great but losing the V8 is a huge bummer and 4654 lbs is one heavy SOB!
If they kept the V8, added the e-turbo tech w/ 4-matic I'd be way more tempted. I do love that Mat did not hold back with the PM in that video! He has my respect.

Yes , another "great" car after Amg 4 door 63 s e-performance . Event though it will have good straight line accelerations , you have to pray in corners .
Last year they were testing the S-Class 63/73 amg in Austria and i asked the testing engineer if it understeers . He answered "A lot , too much. At 2.4 tons what do you expect?" Anyway , don't expect any real reviews from Amg fanboys.

I personally dislike the center infotainment. Feel like it would keep your eyes off the road for very long. More importantly, the loss of the v8.

4650 pounds.
And I thought my m4 was too heavy at 3800 lbs Car will feel terrible in corners even with AWD. I used to be a huge amg fan boy but this is way too heavy. Also the full power is not available all the time. |

I used to be big on AMG... or I guess I should just call it Mercedes honestly. Having owned the older c63 and then a '21 c43, I believe Mercedes is a more accurate description over calling these cars AMG's anymore. Post what... 2015 was the C-class update? They've made their cars prettier, more luxurious and that's fine, but it was just not fun. I've tested their range after I got bored of the c43 and nothing appealed to me more than the g82 I have now. I picked it over a new c63s and AMG GT. Bottom line is if you're looking for good German driver engagement, you don't need an AMG, just an M.
I don't want to make any early calls on a car I haven't driven yet, but I'm sure the new c63 will be a torquey little car... that's what they're going for anyways. It makes sense in a way, they had the same 4.0L V8 in literally every AMG from 2015 to now. I'm sure restrictions is the #1 reason why they did it, but it never made sense to me how every AMG car had the same engine. So no, I don't think I'd ever go back to Mercedes besides looking into SUV's... although I'd probably rather buy a Cayenne than a GLS. One thing to note about Mercedes' smaller engines. They're hot off the block. My c43 was not worth it to tune at all due to the reinforcements required to keep it safe. You could bump it up to roughly 420hp before you have to start thinking about pistons. Also, hot take: not a huge fan of the AMG 4.0's. They sound lazy, no modulation in tone. Just a deep rumble no matter the rpm. |

Looking forward to you getting your G8X! You're gonna love it coming from the R. I'm guessing you're going with manual? Both transmissions are pretty fun in my opinion. Which is good because everyone has different preferences, and there's a fun option either way you go.

Only 0.1 seconds faster to 60 than the M4 Comp X-Drive and 600+ lbs heavier? What happens in the corners is more important to me.

As an ex-C63 owner, I love the center infotainment system and steering wheel. Not a fan of the new gauge. Not a fan of it getting a 4-cylinder engine, especially since I had such huge reliability issues with the engine in the CLA 45. The 4.0 V8 in the C63 was also absolutely amazing and, honestly, the main reason I bought the C63 over the M4 in the past. The C63 going 4 cylinders this gen made the decision of getting an M4 far easier this generation.
