A few days ago, we obtained the latest road test spy photos of Mercedes AMG C63 from foreign media, compared with the previous spy photos, the camouflage cover area of the new car is further reduced, revealing more details, and the new car is expected to appear in the second half of the year.
It can be seen that the new Mercedes-AMG C63 does not adopt the popular hidden door handle design, and is still a traditional style. The light set and grille profile are consistent with the new C-Class style, the front rim is also the style of the AMG model, and the exhaust gas from the rear side of the car makes the vehicle's combat atmosphere in the previous grade.
In terms of power, although the combination of the four-cylinder 2.0T engine + electric motor is expected to have a total output of up to 600 horsepower, in addition, thanks to the weight reduction of the V8 engine, as well as the layout of the battery pack and electric motor, the new car can achieve a weight distribution of 50:50 front and rear, and the vehicle can still provide excellent handling and driving pleasure.
It is worth noting that from this generation of AMG C63 models, the big V8 C63 you remember is gone. The 507-generation 6.2L V8 self-priming C63 has long gone, that may be the first impression of Chinese consumers on the C63, and then the 4.0T C63 still retains the V8 engine, and the performance is more exciting.
And now, eight cylinders to four cylinders of C63 is coming, once a high-horsepower rear-drive real man, replaced by motors and small displacement, without eight cylinders of C63 has become somewhat impure, but the wave of electrification coupled with the trend of energy saving and emission reduction, so that large displacement engines gradually disappear in the night sky.
Although the performance data of the new C63 may be further strengthened, after all, the power torque of the motor is instantaneous, and it is not necessary to think about life in the need of a 7AT or 9AT gearbox, but the calmness of the large displacement is what the motor cannot bring.
However, it is gratifying that BMW is still developing the next generation of six-cylinder eight-cylinder engines, M3/M4 models will also have large-displacement engines, and Audi will continue to use various performance tuned EA839 and EA825 engines to write the last glory of the internal combustion engine.
