Even though many driving enthusiasts are bemoaning the disappearance of the AMG V8, which is being replaced by a heavily electrified four-cylinder, things aren’t all bad. Upon seeing a very lightly camouflaged 2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last week, a few key points need to be made about the upcoming monster sedan.
Firstly, it will be considerably more powerful and torquey compared to the current C63S, even with half the displacement. It will be powered by the Mercedes M139 2-liter turbo that is expected to make 470 horsepower - it’s one of the most powerful engines of this displacement ever made and even on its own, it would make any car very quick.
