We test the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S E-Performance, which loses its V8 but gains a turbo four-cylinder with a powerful plug-in hybrid electric system.

The Mercedes-AMG C63 S is the most powerful and top-spec AMG version of the W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Until recently the AMG C63 had a petrol V8 engine, but now it utilises a 2.0-litre turbo from the A45 plus a PHEV hybrid system for additional boost. Does the recipe still work? Is the new C63 hybrid a great drive?

We sent Chasing Cars international correspondent Tim Stevens to find out.

The AMG C63 competes with the BMW M3, Audi RS4 and RS5, and other sporty sedans.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Mercedes-AMG C-Class.
