Halving the cylinder count might have some fans up in arms, but Mercedes-AMG is convinced the new C63 S E Performance can win over the naysayers...

One thing is for certain: it's going to sound a whole lot different. For 2023, there's an electric motor working in tandem with four cylinders to deliver an astonishing 680hp. It can also be driven for up to eight miles on electric power alone, and uses F1-derived battery cooling techniques that allow for rapid discharging and recharge. There's even a Gran Turismo-style ghost for you to chase on a track day. Join us for a deep dive into what is set to be one of the most advanced performance cars around when it goes on sale.
