We've known for a while the next Mercedes-AMG C63 would be getting a hybrid powertrain, but seeing these yellow stickers still comes as a bit of a shock (get it?) On the same day BMW M teased the first-ever M3 Touring, our spies got up close and personal with its long-roof rival from Affalterbach. The camouflaged prototype was left unsupervised while the test drivers were on a lunch break, prompting car paparazzi to immortalize the speedy wagon.
Aside from the "Hybrid" stickers on the top corner of the windshield and on the upper section of the center console, the high-performance estate had all the C63 ingredients. We're talking about a quad exhaust system, massive brakes, and a stiffer suspension setup. The front air intakes are likely bigger than what Mercedes is willing to show for the time being, while the Panamericana grille accentuates it is flagship C-Class.
