The V8 isn’t dead, it’s just dead for the C-class! It’s still offered in new SL format and GT63 e-performance! What were they thinking……it’s just a pumped up A45 hybrid, this isn’t going to tempt anyone out of a twin turbo V8. Great honest review!

It's not just about 0-60 and top speed, it's also about the essence of the car. The driver should be able to connect with the car at an organic level. Newer cars are lacking this. Never the less, good review.

Having electric motors only would create significantly less driver interaction, no shifting gears, no real sound at all and adding the additional, bigger electrical motors to create that kind of horsepower with enough batteries to support it for a reasonable range, especially when driving fast, would still add quite some weight, therefor reducing handling. The engineers probably would love to just put a V8 into the car, but regulations don't allow it.

There is a reason the battery is tiny. It is a HPB battery with direct cell cooling designed for a strategy named "always on". This means the batterys function is 100% for performance - being able to drive fully electric for a few miles is only a bi product. Every time you brake, it recuperates power, which it then can release upon acceleration in an endless cycle in theory. It's F1 tech.

So the only thing you will get with this is more power, which you basically only use a fraction of the time since the old one was plenty fast. However, the sound is now missing no matter if you're going slow or fast. So I wonder who really wants to buy this?

As a previous owner of two S205 C63 estates with the 4.0 V8 BiTurbo this is just not interesting for me at all. When I switched from the C63 to the C63S estate I've noticed that the C63 was not about being a tenth quicker on the 1/4 mile. It is about giving you the feeling about driving something truly special in your everyday life. And this kind of feeling was 100% connected to the V8 and the Sound that came with it. Especially the first one not equiped with the GPF had an absolutely amazing sound which put a smile on your face every day I was starting up the car.

I have been always a massive fan of the C63 and AMG, but this new car kind of brought tears in my eyes and made me ask the totally pointless question: WHY?! 😢 I got the impression Rory felt on the same way. 😥

🤷 you know why dino juice is going to run out in about 50 years anyway. There's no denying global warming is not real. The way polar ice caps are falling apart is not good. Also the reality is 350bhpish is really the most you can safely deploy on the road. Making cars lighter and agile and doing clever stuff with three/four cylinders is going to prolong the life of the ICE. Fat ass V8s and V6s are dead. IF a manufacturer can come up with inline 6s that can deactivate say three or two cylinders as an 'eco' fuel saving/generator option. Then offer all 6 as the sport/race mode. Combine that with say a hybrid system where say 50-60 miles of range is possble. Then the engine does'nt have to burn fuel unless you're on a long journey or on a backroad. That's probably the way forward. My money is on BMW acheiving that and not producing a shit car at the end of it.

Combination, turbocharged, electrified. So you have to fill it up and charge it, it doesn’t sound special, and can’t maintain full power beyond 10 seconds. Bit of a complicated mess isn’t it?

Acceleration at full tilt is usually over in 6-7 seconds. And yet engines typically possess 5x the size they would need if they only needed enough for steady state driving although long highway hill climbs are an exception that need all the cylinders working

I just bought the v8 twin turbo with 20k kilometers. Got the v8 and saved 80k off new in Australia. The low mileage Demo cars are asking over $200,000 in dealerships for facelift w205.

Pretty soon we will be celebrating 1 cylinder 1000 hp supercars and influencers will still be trying to peddle it.

Rory attitude toward this merc says it all

They focused more on the 0-62 figures and forgot that a car needs a soul. They would have faired better with the V6 motor and a smaller hybrid battery system. They doing too much, too quick!

They had a v6 that sounded good in the previous c43 , I know nothing compared to the v8 and its heavier than the 4 cylinders but they could've at least give the c63 the 6 cylinders engine

yep...a quiet amg is an oxymoron

I didn’t buy my GLC63 or SL63 for the numeric output over/under a BMW or Audi, I bought them for the noise and emotion….and this “appliance” has none. Auf wiedersehen AMG.

"The future is different" You couldn't have said it better 👍🏼

This is the best argument for the BMW M3 so far!

Yeah, no advantage whatsoever between this car and a run of the mill c-class. No drama, no sustained performance, no fun. The thing about the c63 was always that it was a beast that was hard to contain, this is just another soulless and overcomplicated car.

AMG is pathetic is called AMGay for a reason 🤣🤣. The A45S is as pathetic as this car. I drove the a45s and compared to my BMW M340i it has yards and yards of turbo lag. It’s also a fwd essentially so it is not even as playful as the bmw either. So pathetic like all AMGs compared to bmw and M.

@@mikaelgaspar9547 I think you’re right but there’s still an issue with the 4. Yes it’s great in the a45 but it’s acceptable because that’s a hot hatch. It’s not so acceptable in this because this is getting on for double the price and people know that it’s replacing a V8. That’s a hard ass pill to swallow. That 4 cylinder could be an absolute gem but people aren’t ready for it in this. Personally I think they should have given this a 6 cylinder.

Great review Rory. Very nice objective even though it is clearly not a car you love.

Absolute honest review ... Had the same experience in it ... we go for another brand this year, because also the technical assists makes a looooot of problems and many c-class owners try to get rid of their car now...

Idea, buy the first one like this that's wrecked, V8 swap it, so it's similar to the GT4door e performance and boom, you have a monster

I love that Porsche said sorry for the 4 cylinders here’s the naturally aspirated flat 6 back ❤ Sounds like AMG didn’t copy Porsche’s homework

Obnoxious V8 rumbles aside, this thing packs so much in 1 car. F1 derived turbo and EV system, the hybridization itself, it has the A45’s most powerful 4 cylinder, a combined power output of 680HP… this things is MAD. Sick sick sick!! But the fact that it skipped the C43/53 engine all together and down straight to a 4 banger kinda sucks it some ways but still an amazing powertrain. An inline 600+hp engine plus the electric motors would’ve been crazy. Nonetheless, still very cool. This should’ve been the C43E and the C63S E-performance could’ve had the same powertrain as the new S63 & AMG GT63 E. with 800HP.

Rory is everything for this channel. Another fantastic video 👏

by the park i go to, there's a base model previous gen c63 v8 that purposely downshifts while driving in a speed limited 25 zone. you can tell he is just playing with the throttle and gears to hear the roar. i can guarantee that owner will not be 'upgrading' anytime soon lol i always wanted the v8 cars but with AWD, and now they added the AWD and put in an I4, 4 cylinders might be good for emissions but I have never heard one actually sound good. If MB had to do make their entire C class range 4 cylinders, why is Audi and BMW selling 6 cylinders in their M-lite and full M or RS cars still? I bet some higher ups in MB just want to be able to say the F1 tech development is in use in consumer products. They will learn the hard way.

Awesome review

I personally think it's a great offering,, love the styling and the new tech

🏁🏁This C63 is a complicated mess that is an abomination of sound🤢🤢🤮 …Long live the V8 😉🤙🏾

Hmm, mixed feelings about this car. On the one hand, it’s cool that we’re getting something different from this segment. We’ve never had a hybrid performance saloon, with F1 tech nonetheless. Plus, I think it does look good. On the other hand, what has become its USP is gone. Its just unfortunate that this car’s predecessors have become such legends and garnered such popularity, such a drastic change in the way it goes about things is gonna look like sacrilege. This is AMG’s first go at it, so can we give it benefit of doubt that it can’t be perfect straight out of the box? Let’s just be glad AMG tried to make it work. If they do another one, it needs to be lighter and the sound needs to be improved. For now though, the C43 is the one to have. It has the same engine, costs less, is much lighter and still incorporates some F1 tech in the form of the e-turbo.

You can probably buy a used 2018 C43 which already had the all wheel drive system and tune it to have the same power as this and have a ton more fun. I loved the way my C43 sounded before the European regulations dialed it back after 2018. I now have a 2021 GLE53 since I have kids and it just doesn't sound no where near as good as that C43 did and forget a C63 or E63 from same time or earlier lol

We as car enthusiast it's one thing when we go from a poor engine platform to a better we love it.. but a platform that we love to one we will be forced to deal with doesn't make the enthusiasm live on even when shoving more "bells" into a car somethings can never be replaced like the sound.from a V8 , 10 or 12 cylinder

The rear looks just like the Giulia Quadrifoglio in the thumbnail. Can't just be me

I don't have much to say about the new powertrain...it was good in the A45 but for this I would have still wanted the V8...infact if I could I would do the engine swap putting back the V8 on this new tech...

Ud be nuts buying that, the future is Full electric of dont bother. Glad I have my weekend C63 507 edition in my garage to keep the memory alive of a real AMG.

The looks are the least of it's problems. The weight is the real problem. If this car was 500-600lbs lighter you'd have a firecracker in your hands. Then there is the sound. Then the projected price. 95K in the USA is the estimated price so far. This one will be a tough sell for most.
