Mercedes - AMG C63 S E Performance specs

Are they using a chopped down engine out of AMG One ?

"Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE (2023) - BOOST strategy demonstration>

"New in the C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, it is possible in TRACK PACE to intelligently distribute the use of electric energy over a racetrack lap in order to optimise the lap time with the targeted use of the electric motor’s
power. This track-based boost strategy is already stored for 30 well-known racetracks. It is to be expanded gradually to a total of 70 circuits via download."

From the above Motorsport Magazine test per below.

km/h and seconds

0-101= 3.102
0-161= 6.905
0-200= 11.182
0-219= 13.977

Frame by frame BUT digital speedometer readings ONLY quite obviously not GPS. Having said that the 100MPH time is quite rapid.

7:40

SLOWER than the 510hp M3 Comp Xdrive in the 1/4
(11.20 vs 11.21)
lol they made the c63 slower than its key rival and soulless in comparison and you arent making 680bhp all the time.. BMW is clearly the better buy, id even have an rs4 over this in a heart beat.

Well first performance figures for the the hybrid electric assistance AMG 63 SE are in via CARWOW!

Will the weight affect acceleration? Find out shall we?🙂

Mr AMG!

I don't really like neither this neither the GT63 E performance. Both are way too heavy for my taste. And, most of the performance gained by the hybrid stuff gets eaten up by it's own weight...

I welcome you to Mercedes C6.. sorry C45 AMG E Performance

There was a point in my life when I wanted a C63, but I’d always worry about them being money pits after a few years. But the V8 was always a pull at the heart strings.

This new one is obviously going to be have worst reliability, and it’s also lost the biggest selling point of it.

I think this one should be capable of cracking the 0-200 in 11 seconds flat. Might lose some (a lot of) power on the way to top speed tho

interesting fact it has a 50/50 front to rear weight distribution. This is because the electric motor is in the rear

Changes

Quoted>"

1) Name to C63 S E Performance.
2) And ‘a minimum’ of 752lb ft.*
3) Tipping the scales at 2111kg.
4) Power 670bhp (469bhp @ 6725rpm + 201bhp)
Torque 725lb ft (402lb ft @ 5250-5500 + 236lb ft)."

There could be other changes. I'll look at the detailed press releases etc shortly, if they available.

But she's heavy! Car Magazine were spot on!

I trust Car Magazine alot. Not as much as another magazine but still their research is usually first rate. THEY were the ones that broke the Bugatti and Rimac deal news FIRST.

Anyway unfortunately on this occasion it's not exactly the greatest of news!

Quote>"The hybrid hardware adds approximately 200kg, taking the total close to 2000kg."

That's pretty high. It's bordering on Bugatti Chiron weights! I guess we'll have to wait for the tests but the power to weight ratio will obviously suffer so acceleration will too.

Normally I prefer imports>domestics (as I have for decades) but in this case scenario the CT5-V Blackwing will outlast it in terms of durability, reliability, value... plug in hybrid/EV is hardly the future, too heavy and electronically corrupt. I have sat in a 2023 c43 amg and dang the touchscreen is pretty big, 2022 ct5-v just feels like a normal sports sedan to me

@Fastestlaps could you please add one of the pictures from below to the above header. It's incorrect. You can choose which, but that rear view picture is "tight!" ;)

Tbh, this kind of fits the amg Mercedes’ traditional position. The c63 has always been heavier but more powerful than it’s rivals. Faster in a straight line, slower thru the bends. More over engineered, but less reliable.

4 cyl in a C63
Idc if it "runs better" than a V8 C63 performance wise
This is just a big F U from Mercedes to themselves
They made the EQ series so that they wouldn't slaughter their original lineup and make them full electric but then they slaughtered them anyways
I hope this is the last Mercedes that gets destroyed like this

Or one can hope that it's a V8 under there but it's silent because of PPFs and shet like that

That's a GT 4-door in the picture!

Other figures to follow. Weight etc. Sourced from Autocar from the Festival of Speed 2022. Any mistakes contact THEM.

It could be certain technical specifications change. So what? It's not like we've to wait five years for it! LOL!
