We've got our hands on the new four-cylinder Mercedes C63 AMG for a first taste of how it drives 👀
Anyway, enough electric pottering about. The engine fires up and we go straight into launch control, named Race Start. Taking just 3.4sec to 62mph is nothing new, but in the C63 it does feel particularly violent, with not a hint of slip or even a chirp from the tyres.
In Comfort mode, the engine sounds muted and more four-cylinder-like than before, while the electric motor contributes only up to 25% of its maximum power. Through the corners, the balance feels secure and front-led. Sport+ is more of the same, with up to 80% of the electric power and the beginnings of a four-wheel drift when Szczepek throws the car into a long downhill sweeper.Race mode is the real event. The engine sounds especially healthy, and even from the passenger seat, you can feel that there’s a lot going on to make this 2.1-tonne car feel agile.
