Presumably this is the C63..

 

First pictures I have seen

 

Good find, more pictures should come in an hour though : )

 

Yeah I’m sold on that…wagon version and I’m already getting the wallet out, fingering the notes with my eager sweaty hands as I throw my money at the screen.

Better looking than any of the EQ visual shenanigans.

 

Not sure how I feel about the AMG badge on the front. Overall I think it looks good.

Obviously 4 cylinder is different and I wonder how it'll sound, but 680hp is impressive.

 

Here you go!

 

You mean the hood right, ya looks so aftermarket (imo)

 

Car and Driver's article mentions the wheelbase is longer for the 206 C63 S E-Performance over the standard C300. I know 205 has a different (longer) front end, but I'm pretty sure wheelbase was the same for C300/43/63.

Yeah exactly.

Also, you lose a fair amount of space due to the rear electric motors. Take a look here at 13min for sedan and a couple min later for the estate.

 

Is it just me or does the rear of the car just not very distinctive at all? Not going with flared fenders means this looks just like any other AMG line 206, and it definitely doesn't look like it has 670 hp.

 

Here's the sound

 

It's worth repeating that this power can only be delivered for up to 10 seconds. Sustained power is much lower. The battery is good at delivering quick bursts of power, but it can't sustain it. I drove the GT 63 S E Performance a couple of months ago at the Nürburgring. It didn't feel faster than the regular GT 63 S, but it felt like an elephant due to the added weight of the hybrid system. Waiting for the figures and see if they managed to shave some weight off this one, but the hybrid system adds 500 lbs and the W206 C43 already weighs over 4000 lbs. It made the GT E Performance a 6300 lbs car and boy did it make it worse.

 

4650lbs, holy moly

 

Official figures seems to be 2145 KG (estate model)

 

Holy moly is right. A 4700 lbs C Class, you gotta be kidding me! But it's what I said all along. It's heavier than the current E Class. I guess that's progress now!

 

2111kg (4654lb) for the sedan.

 

Ya not that much better :/ Can't really beat physics no matter how hard Mercedes tries...

 

I realize this is the direction we are inevitably heading to, but I just don't see people spending $100k on this. Sure it looks great, but C63 was always about emotion and rawness from the V8. It was a big change when they went from the 6.2 to the 4.0, but I just can't see an inline 4 to be anywhere near as emotional as a V8. For gods sake they added EXTERIOR speakers to this thing.

 

4600lbs! we all knew that it would be about 44-45 but 4600 pushing to 4700, yikes. it needs that power just to move it. big win for anyone with a w205 c63 or w204.

 

Needs a V8. This should be called the C20, and without the AMG badge. Real AMGs only use V8s and V12s

 

My W205 C63S just went up in value.....

 

Eaton, since you were able to see the ordering guide for the W206 C 43 soon after the premiere : https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ml#post8554115
Is there a chance you see the ordering guide for the W206 C 63? If so, could you post it? Thanks.

 

The new C43 is a 2023 model, but this new C63 is a 2024 model. I don't think we will see that order guide for some time.

 

I'm astonished at that weight figure! Wonder what the sustained power in the real world after a few laps will actually be...
Can't see there being much tuning headroom either with that 4 cylinder. I'd bet a downpipe/tune W205 C63 walks this.
Makes cross shopping with a new M3 comp a pretty easy decision imo...

 

Yawn.
