24 C63 S E perf 671 hp when?


Folks, I am over 1000 miles right now, I am at 1015 miles. I own a 2024 C63S. When will I see the full power of the vehicle? When I set to race mode and I look on the screen on the dashboard it only shows me 469 hp. Don’t get me wrong. This thing is extremely fast however was advertised at 671 hp. How and where do I go to get that boost? Why is it not showing 671 hp?

Perhaps if using Launch Control, "Race Start" ?

"Race Start" When the battery is full of course.

what do you mean four does it have to be at a fil 100? And literally does it only work in race start? Like if I am in race mode at a light and wanna smash it, it will not give me the full 671 HP?

Yes the battery needs to have sufficient charge and https://www.mercedes-benz.ie/service...-wheel-button/

Do you not know what you purchased? The battery needs to be at full in order to access the additional HP. It is not there all the time.

You need to be fully run in (> 2000 miles) for it to allow the full 671 hp. Then it is always on tap in race mode. Just be aware that there are two modes for getting the full HP. One is sustained (always there) in race mode. Then there is Boost (you can add this to your steering wheel by editing/adding it from the center console). Boost gives you the extra kick when you hit the kickdown switch.
No need to take it to the dealer or anything to get this switched on as it is automatic once the engine is run in.
Also if you switch to the blue dash with the yellow gear selection (I think it's called super sport. You are displaying standard with the RPM and speed dials) then it has the 469 hp on the left and the 201 battery hp on the right. This'll show you how much combined HP you are pushing out.
Happy safe driving.
