The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE

Listen up, speed junkies and car enthusiasts. Mercedes just dropped the new AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, and it’s about as subtle as a punch to the face. This beast is the lovechild of a Formula 1™ car and a luxury sedan, and it’s here to make you question every life choice that doesn’t involve driving one.

Performance That Slaps

Under the hood, you’ve got the world’s most powerful four-cylinder engine, kicking out 176 kW per liter. Pair that with an electric motor on the rear axle, and you’re looking at a system output of 500 kW. That’s right, this thing delivers 680 horses straight to your power-hungry hands. 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds? Don’t mind if we do.

Tech That’s Smarter Than You

Ever felt like your car was judging you? Well, this one will. The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and active rear-axle steering are here to remind you that your driving skills are merely "adequate." Drift Mode? Check. Fully variable all-wheel drive? Double check. This car doesn’t just hug the road, it makes it its bitch.

Looks That Kill

Form follows function, but in this case, function follows "holy shit, that’s sexy." The front end is 50mm longer and wider, giving it a stance that screams "get out of my way." The narrow air outlet in the center of the bonnet transitions into two power bulges, and let’s not forget the round AMG badge on the bonnet, because stars are for kids.

Interior Porn

Slide into the AMG sports seats, complete with a distinctive stitching pattern that says, "I have taste, but I’m also here to race." And those seats? They’ve got side bolsters with weight-saving openings that’ll make you feel like you’re strapped into a fighter jet. The MBUX infotainment system? It’s got more features than your phone, including hybrid-specific displays and the ability to log every single one of your racetrack exploits.

Battery Tech Straight Outta F1™

Inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1™ team, this car’s high-performance battery offers 6.1 kWh capacity, 70 kW continuous output, and 150 kW peak output. It’s got direct cooling for each of the 560 cells because anything less would just be pedestrian. This setup ensures you’re always in the optimal temperature range for maximum performance, even when you’re tearing up the track.

Pricing to Make You Rethink That Second Home

You’re not just buying a car, you’re buying a ticket to the kind of driving experience that makes your everyday sedan feel like a lawnmower. The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE starts at R2,476,800. Yeah, it’s a lot, but can you really put a price on making everyone else eat your tyre smoke?
