The 4.0T V8 engine has been the hallmark of AMG's 63 for many years, representing excellent sound and powerful performance output, which is loved by fans.
But starting from the new generation of AMG C 63, AMG began to be equipped with a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, although the comprehensive maximum power of this system reached 671 horsepower, peak torque of 1020N·m, and the power parameters far exceeded the 4.0T V8 engine, but it was not recognized by users, in the eyes of most people, high-performance models should have multi-cylinder engines, although the 2.0T plug-in hybrid system has excellent power, but it is almost meaningless in all aspects such as sound and waves, and it can even be said that it is a little less "row".
AMG may also realize that its radical behavior is very inappropriate, so it will be more cautious about the 2.0T plug-in hybrid system in the future, and there are even rumors that some models that were previously planned to be equipped with a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system may also be replaced with a 4.0T V8 engine.
Foreign media broke the news that due to the poor performance of the AMG C 63 market, AMG decided to re-equip the AMG CLE 63 model with a 4.0T V8 engine, but this news has not yet been officially confirmed.
According to the news, this 4.0T V8 dual-supercharged engine will be matched with a 48V mild hybrid system, and the maximum power is expected to reach 585 horsepower, which is much inferior to today's 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, but the advantage is that the continuous performance output capacity is stronger.
Previously, AMG officially released the AMG CLE 53 model, which is equipped with a 3.0T L6 dual-supercharged engine with a maximum power of 449 horsepower. The 53 version uses a 3.0T engine, and the 63 version uses a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, which is indeed a bit too much, so the revelations of foreign media should be more reliable.
The spy photos of the AMG CLE 63 version have also been exposed many times before, the front face adopts a family-style polygonal grille design, and the interior is decorated with a grid-like structure, which looks more atmospheric; The headlight clusters are blackened and have integrated LED light sources with a bit of a matrix, which should be the same as the AMG CLE 53 version. The lower envelope adopts a three-section design, the size of the deflector grooves on both sides is relatively large, and there are flat air intakes at the bottom, which will create an excellent overall sense of sportiness.
The side of the body is still a two-door fastback shape, in addition to the hardtop version, the new car should also be available in the convertible version in the future to meet the needs of consumers. The wheels are made of double five-spoke shapes, and the style is more atmospheric.
In terms of rear styling, a small spoiler can be seen on the top of the trunk, the inverted triangle design of the taillight cluster should also be the same as the regular model, and the lower bumper is equipped with a diamond-shaped quad exhaust layout, which is the biggest difference between it and the AMG CLE 53 version.
As for the release time, foreign media believe that the new car will be unveiled within this year, but if the powertrain is replaced, it is likely to lead to a delay in the release, and wait for the official announcement of the suspense.
