For America, muscle cars like the Camaro and Mustang are staples of the automotive economy - cars the masses can aspire to for their performance thrills. For German automakers, the equivalent is to be found in the likes of the BMW M3 and the Mercedes-AMG C63. But the latter has entered a new era as of yesterday and elevated the German Power Wars to a new level. How has it done this when it's been widely publicized that Mercedes-AMG has dropped the thunderous V8 and put in its place a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder? Electricity. That's right, the new C63 is now a plug-in hybrid.
As the range-topping model of the C-Class family, the new AMG C63 Sedan is available in a single designation: C 63 S E Performance. Based on the W206-generation C-Class family, it uses the Mercedes-Benz MRA II platform in a highly-advanced state to accept Formula 1-derived electrification technology. A monument to German engineering prowess, the C63 S E Performance could either set new standards in a hotly contested segment or prove just how far we've fallen in our pursuit of efficiency. The stakes have never been higher.

Revealed to the world well ahead of its release date in the USA, the Mercedes-AMG C63 is only coming out towards the end of 2023.
2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 Price and Competition
The price of the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 Sedan remains a mystery even to those at Mercedes' American HQ. That's because it's still some way away, and the final US specs are still to be determined. When the old C63 departed our shores at the end of 2021, it was priced from $76,200 in S form. Expect the new one to be a fair bit more than that, with MSRP estimates closer to $85,000, if not more.
