The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is a true gamechanger: The hybrid powertrain is designed for maximum performance. It combines the AMG 2.0-liter turbo engine with an Electric Drive Unit (EDU) on the rear axle for a completely new driving experience. The independent layout not only provides a noticeable instant boost but also ensures a balanced weight distribution – benefiting both driving dynamics and handling equally. Depending on the driving mode, the electric motor boosts power and torque situationally, for a particularly comfortable or performance-oriented driving feel. Purely electric driving is also possible. The electric powertrain and the high-performance battery with 400 volts are exclusive AMG developments. Like in Formula 1™, the battery is specifically designed for rapid power delivery and absorption with innovative direct cell cooling. The electric range of 13 kilometers enables a practical range of action, for example in the city or residential areas. The combined system output is 500 kW (680 hp), the combined maximum system torque is 1,020 Nm.
