- He’s already got up close & personal with the AMG C63, but the time has finally come for Mat to get behind the wheel and drive it!
Now there’s no denying that the new C63 looks great! Up front, there are a number of design changes, including a newly designed front bumper that comes fitted with some huge air intakes, along with an updated bonnet that includes an all-new outlet vent.
The good looks continue around the back, too, with a new deeper rear bumper coupled with an AMG-exclusive diffuser. There’s also a bootlip spoiler, coupled with the option to add carbon fibre trim, should you so wish.
So it may look good, but there is one BIG talking point about this all-new AMG. The V8 is GONE, and it’s been replaced by a 2-litre 4-cylinder hybrid!! Don’t worry though, it’s not all bad. The power output has increased by 150hp, with the engine and electric motor combining to deliver 680hp and 1,020Nm of torque! It can also fly to 60mph in just 3.4 seconds… Although of course, Mat’s going to see if he can hit that mark even quicker!
So what do you think - could this be the greatest AMG of all time? Or has it been ruined now the V8’s been stripped out? Let us know in the COMMENTS!

That was my thoughts as well. These hybrids could be horrendous money pits at 10 years old. Having 2 engines plus expensive battery to maintain would be a no from me. Fully electric would seem a more sensible option.

Well I was going to sell my c63 but… I think I’m gonna keep it. Something tells me it will hold its value 😂
theyre storming up in value atm.
Can you imagine buying a used one of these in 10 years and diagnosing faults yourself. It would be impossible.
That's the idea. They want everything digital like money and transport, gives them total control.
It already is on most cars.
Absolutely impossible, and repairs will be insanely expensive.
Electronics/computers aren't impossibly hard to learn. Never doubt how much smarter the next generation will always be.
I'm sure our forefathers thought the same thing about EFI at first and now there's super accessible tuning courses
It’s just a hybrid, engine is in other AMG models. Don’t see why it would be that bad myself. Nothing a laptop won’t diagnose.

Closed track vs open road
Drag strip rules
@@rensoalink4101 exactly, the open road is much more dangerous 😂
Stupid track rules. They make you wear a helmet on a stock car, which in fact is more dangerous in case of an accident. The helmet should only be used if you have a rollbar installed and only with a hans device. Otherwise, it just adds more injury on your neck
@@MD-uu5nt wearing a helmet in a car without roll cage is also dangerous🤷♂️
If it breaks down it would probably be cheaper to swap V8 in it and tune it to 700hp 😥

RIP to the V8 but dear lord are those some impressive numbers from a 2L 4 cylinder. Would've been nice to see a straight six in this though. I respect the power density of the 4 but I still can't wrap my head around something with a C63 badge on it having the same cylinder count and engine displacement as my GTI.
It has been a year I wonder how many 2.0L almost 500hp engines decided to send their piston to the stratosphere
The loss of the V8 is really tragic. From my point of view these cars should have theatre and noise to their performance. Just going fast is one portion of the experience. Real loss.

It's a shame this looks so good and theres no V8 to top it off. Each time there was a rear shot i just kept imagining the loud raw followed by pops of the V8 BiTurbo...
To be fair the exterior looks like almost every other AMG for the past couple years and why does the infotainment still have huge bezels? disappointing changes tbh
Despite not being very well received by the masses it's an amazing vehicle.
More moving parts and motors and tech and batteries seems a little fraught with potentials for things to go wrong but
none the less it's still technologically impressive.
From the W204 to this, it's definitely a sad day in heaven
My second favourite AMG is the w204 c63, specifically a facelift 507 edition coupe.
First favourite is the SLS, with a very similar engine it is a awesome car to drive.
@@Piecenotwar a W204 P31 is the way to go. Much cheaper than Black Series and just as fast. P31 has 99% of Black Series or 507 parts. Stay away from 08-11 W204 , head Bolt issues.
@@Piecenotwar agree.
@@alexnutcasio936 W204 looked like slower than C63 in my opinion.
@@Piecenotwar I’ve had exactly that car for 3 years now . 535 bhp with just a map . Epic car and a hoot on the track too !
I’m sure the hand built 4 cylinder is incredible🤣 but I’m going to pick up another v8 biturbo for myself.
Good call, they are only going to get more expensive now. When BMW ruined the design of the 3 series my m3 nearly doubled in value.
These will be full electric in 5 years, this car will age like milk.
One thing to keep in mind the costs for repairs on a V8 turbo engine are double those of smaller engines. I own an M5 and it was 2000$ to change spark plugs and air filters. Also, if your car is a newer model most local shops will not service it (as they only work on older cars) so you re forced to go to the dealer (at least that s my case).
This I4 only got permission to be in Lotus Emira ;-) 2.1 ton I4 supersedan is useless for me.
If you want an incredible 4 cyl, Mercedes already offer the 45 series, CLA 45, A 45 and GLA 45 AMG for example. I have no idea why the C63 has been converted to a 4 cyl but then the E63 has stayed as an 8 cyl. It's just weird.
@@ghostridertom My standard range model 3 weighs 1100lbs less than this mercedes "sports sedan", really feels like people who buy cars like this are too busy making the money to bother considering their options, that or mercedes just desperately needs to get its average C02 down to keep selling in europe.
This thing is pretty neat and is going to be a blast to drive, despite the loss of the V8. The biggest issue is the fact that once the warranty on this is up it is going to *plummet* in value and it will become a highly disposable car. The other concern is that the price of this is reportedly going to be close to an M5, which is vastly better car in terms of speed, capability, luxury, and quality. Mercedes has really let their quality get ushered out the door in lieu of stripclub lights and massive screens.
It's gonna be numb to drive since it's only driven by computers, it's inevitably heavy and it's not as efficient as it's supposed to. Even tho I hate new BMWs, M3 is way WAY better than this piece of joke in every single way.
@@mehmett.bakkal8257 dude drive it first yourself before saying what ur saying
@@mehmett.bakkal8257 So far every car reviewer on TH-cam has stated that this C63 S EP is incredible to drive. The only concern is the missing V8, that's all.
@Mehmet T. Bakkal don't be hasty in judging something you have no knowledge of brother Mehmet. Try it first then judge. I owned a brand new 8 cylinders cls55 11 years ago and really liked it, sold it a few years later, and bought the compact 4 cylinders a45s a couple of years ago and i enjoy driving it alot more than my previous cls55 or any other mercedes I've ever driven. Just give it a try and tell me how you feel
Please refrain from using quality or dependability on ANY M car please. Have never built a reliable car over 80k miles 💯
Last Gen C63s already burns through tire and break like crazy.. I usually ran out a set of pads in 10k ~ miles, same as the tires. Now I'm thinking about this 2.1 tons monster, oh man, better ez on both the gas paddle and brake..
This new car would have brakes adequate enough for itself.

You know, I used to think the same about them being forced to build this the way it is. That was until I saw the new S AMG. So they COULD HAVE slapped a V8 in this and still had it be a hybrid. Crazy
Thanks for viewing⬆️ and contributing 🙏, Tell Kiara To share some beneficial knowledge/profitable investment.♥♥..🤳above digit 💕
they are forced to build it bc of tighter fleet emission regulations
@@Pabla98 so how come the m3 is a v6… they pre-emptied the regs and gave us this white elephant.
@@Cassp0nk bc BMWs other cars in the fleet may not pollute as much so they were able to use a inline 6. Also companies can buy “credits” from companies who have low or negative emissions (think companies like Tesla) to offset their fleets emissions.
@@Pabla98 carbon credits are a scam. The end.
Respect to all those V8 engined cars.
Seeing this makes me realize how special the w204 c63 is
My only issue with the c63 really is just the weight it’s over 400kg heavier than its competitors 😮
and after few kilometers you end up with a 4cylinder in it
@@hardywoodaway9912 I’m honestly ok with the engine as long as it’s not fully electric
@@UIracing im not ok with that stupid inline 4 cylinder.
Imagine having a sports sedan that weighs more than full sized pickup truck
This is not a feer by Mercedes..too bad. they know how to make a fast and quality car, but this is too much.. anyone who has the opportunity would definitely buy a BMWM3 or an Audi RS4.. maybe an Alfa V6..
I can't wait for the out of warranty stories 😂
I think it's a great car now, but I do worry about long term longevity. Also, makes me yearn for the old M156 powered 6.2-liter engine if just for the sound.
It's good. Not great.
If they cared so much about speed and horsepower, they could have just made it and EV.
Coz once battery goes down in this hybrid, you aren't getting full 680 hp.
Why Mercedes why
Do it, if youve got the means, i miss mine so much.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Matt so joyless driving a car. It’s fast but has no soul
Miss the V8!
Also think about the stress on that little 2 liter four with so much HP being squeezed out of it, let alone the weight. I certainly wouldn't want to buy this car once out of warranty.
@@Peanutdenver this has been debated numerous time before, the extra stress on the engine block is mitigated by using better materials. You guys said the same thing about the last-gen A45 (the 381 HP one) yet the engine has been quite reliable.
This isn't the early 2000s anymore, the engineering has advanced and we have access to far better materials. I can show you numerous large and undertuned NA V8s which you'd automatically assume are reliable, but in reality they're pieces of garbage because they're poorly built or designed. Small engines being unreliable isn't a rule.
@@xIcarus227 The weight is the main issue and the A45 is a much lighter car compared to the C63. It's really just physics at this point. That 4 cylinder will be substantially stressed which I think is a great engine for the A45 a hot hatch. But over 2100 is a lot of weight to lug around especially after 50k miles they could be issues time will tell. I'm not rooting against the C63 AMG I just wouldn't choose that platform over my M3 or the previous gen C63 which I really liked with the twin turbo V8.
@@Peanutdenver I think I understand what you're trying to say, but it's not exactly a fair comparison.
You're saying that for the same amount of acceleration as in the A45, the C63 engine will have to work harder, right?
It's true that it'll need more power to move it, but you're forgetting that the engine itself has more power and torque, and has an electric motor to help it.
Any engine would work at a higher overall load when put in a heavier vehicle, but this one has help. Don't think there should be a notable difference.
I do agree with you on the platform though. If I were in the market for such a car I wouldn't go for a C63 either. To me AMGs are the German muscle cars, to have one without a V8 just defeats most of the point. I'd either go for an M3/M4 or shell out the extra cash for an E63.
And like you, I don't have anything against this car, it's just not for me. Neither do I have anything against the inevitable full electrification of these sports cars, but I just prefer enjoying proper ICE cars for as long as they last.
@@xIcarus227 That's a good point on the hybrid system and it's all speculation until we see these cars 5 or 6 years down the road and how they are holding up mechanically. Some Merc's see minimal issues once they get some miles on the clock and some don't. But that's true with a lot of cars.

@@1980arw Yup
@@1980arw Yes as long as they keep that naming sceme they should have. They could have changed it to reflect hp instead though since nowadays there are so many more ways to add hp than just engine volume so its not really relevant like it was in the old days.
Current naming practice is just plain stupid since it now means 0.
Love the way car brands are trying to desperately fool people for their money rather than discontinuing their lineups

Pretty funny. I work for mercedes and was invited to Mallorca for testing this car before it launched. That silver one is the exact one I drove in. Hope you hade fun over there!
Imagine this car with a V8.
Why bother just buy the older gen with the V8.
its the e63
and a big turbo. Which would sell better? Not that sanitized garbage
It’s crazy how they got 476hp out of a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder! I remember when Mitsubishi had 400hp from a 2.0 but it required servicing every 2000 miles or something like that.
It but, no one cares. It is packed in too heavy car with bad exhaust
That was about 15-20 years ago
Was very Impressive for that time in a 4 cylinder back then
With turbos and high compression engine won't last as long as a naturally aspirated v8
@@slipknnnot bullshit, it's all about how the engine is built. I can show you loads of NA V8s which were pieces of shit reliability-wise as well as tiny pumped-up I4s which were reliable.

Given the big numbers this has on paper in terms of power, the M3 xDrive Comp is not far off.

I want to see you compare this one with the V8 c63. But not 1 or 2 drags, want a full test to see this new model consistency. It doesn't matter if it's faster in 2 or 3 drags but then loses power lol Would this deliver 100% of the power IF YOU want it, all day?

But does that really matter, who drag races a C63 all day? It's a luxury car after all.

Having owned a c63 (w204) and an Evo VI GSR, i've had both my god like v8 and a highly strung 4 pot, when i heard this was coming out without a v8/v6 i was a bit. However after seeing it perform here i'm not so disappointed. I'm still a year away from jumping into a new car though, which whilst could be one of the following 4: 2014 M5, early M2, Yaris GF Circuit, or back into a C63 w204 with PP (diff and a cheeky map up at MSL). What say thee all about my options? My current C320 does about 32 mpg and I drive to London and back 3 times a month, i could get 30 mpg with the c63 so thats why i'm not ruling that out. I've test driven the GR Circuit and it reminded me of my EVO and theyre as quick, and the M5 seems like really good value for money, just a bit big for threading around the lanes where i live, but a m4 blaster no doubt. What say ye all, any other considerations?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Great review!!
They can make it however fast they want but you simply can't have a C63s without a V8.
And especially not a C63 which weighs in at more than 2 tons. What the hell, this is supposed to be performance-oriented.

It really is! This thing has 680hp but the BMW wins. It's clearly not developing that much that whole way

That is seriously quick! Just a second slower than the 911 Turbo S!
Ok I’m actually blown away with the performance but I still think I would take the old C63s because of the V8 and believe it or not I like the previous interior more, I’m not a fan of a lottt of tech, also that amount of power coming from a 4cyl means that there’s a lot of stress in that engine so idk how the reliability is long term on that thing

Drag Race idea, all the C63s AMG
But have you tried flooring the old old v8? #6.2
at 14:10 with those wide wheel arches in the front but not the rear, it kinda makes it look like a lawnmower. Really loved the rumble V8 AMG's, afraid this one is more a miss than a hit.
Ah well, in about 10 years we'll probably be revving nice hydrogen v12's and bring the earth back to life with water vapour as exhaust fumes

They’ve lost the ability to make v8s in their cheaper cars due to emissions regs, we’re gonna see this a lot unfortunately

it looks great! i like the tail lights more then those of my 205. interior is nice altough i would miss the normal buttons... but the sound... big part of the reason why i accept the price of a C63 is the sound (and the feel of the V8), now its even more expensive and both these points are gone... because lets be fair, if only the best drag/track performance is important you look at an alfa, BMW or a class higher at the E63 S.
The switch from V8 to I4 was too sudden IMO, they should have at least put in the I6 on this model. A C63 with a small engine feels like an oxymoron.

Not only a 4-cylinder, but a very synthesized sound from that 4-cylinder
Imagine driving for 13 kilometers, entering a highway and the ice cold engine jumps straight to high revs, that's brutal on the engine 😑
You guys act like their engineers haven’t already mitigated this issue.
@@NoVaRedacted so how did they do that?
@@asssiesgaming453 The oil gets warmed up from the battery’s heat being dissipated. Secondly the engine won’t just come in at high revs because the battery power mode isn’t gonna go so damn fast that the car has to jump into gear with the engine on at top RPMs. Software tuning has come a long way in factory cars. Not hard to program safe parameters for each individual mode.
This is essentially a hybrid car, plenty of manufacturers already have hybrids this isn’t anything new
@@NoVaRedacted So the battery is cooled with engine oil? Btw dont forget that most hybrids have always been non turbo engines, that's not without reason..
Your have a valid point, just like lifting weights without warming up.
regarding the comparrison in drag race with other cars it is not the daddy, but deffinetly a strong father figure
I'll be right back.. I need to go hug my V8 real quick.
R.I.P V8 but damn that 4banger makes alot of power
The video we’ve been waiting for
A perfect example of an auto manufacturer who doesn’t know their audience and thinks numbers on a spreadsheet sells cars
A 6 cylinder hybrid with around 550-600hp and around 1800 kg would have been great....
This video has shown us how good the M3 Xdrive Competition actually is!
Yes and the RS4. And if the new s4 goes back to petrol as rumoured I think even that would be better than this.
in what terms besides having 2 cylinders more
@@v12-s65 Lighter, exhaust sound, performance, better on track , tuning potential , driving dynamics , pretty sure reliability too
@@v12-s65 despite having well over 100hp less the M3 comp is just as fast and I can bet it handles better due to the C63 weighing as much as a minivan. Mercedes dropped the ball on this one.
@@v12-s65 it's £17k cheaper yet does everything as well as the c43 and has the character of the 6 cylinder which for me that's the whole point of combustion powered cars. 6 cylinders sounds and feels different.
This car made me go and put a deposit on the old 6.2v8, best sounding saloon of all time
"..leaving skid marks... but the good kind" that's a t-shirt worthy quote
Basically they're all going computer controlled, but whose controlling the computers really, having said that still a beautiful car Mat.
If you want a true AMG V8 now is the time to buy one, because I suspect those to become quite desirable in a few years, I also suspect the newer models will depreciate faster than a lead balloon going down due to costs of replacement parts and a bit of a liability, replacement parts costing multiple £10s of thousands will make the newer ones throw away items.
I remember seeing an older c63 with a sticker next to the 6.3 badge that said 'only milk and juice comes in 2 litres'... oh the irony
I love that Mat doesnt care about all the engineers and what they say, he just wants to drive and enjoy the cars.. haha i love it

Am enjoying this daily carwow dose. Genuinely
The value of the outgoing V8 is going to rocket in the coming years.
There is a lot to go wrong, but you have to applaud the tech
