The AMG C63 might get a second chance, and this time buyers could choose between gasoline and electric power. After the controversial four-cylinder plug-in hybrid failed to win over many traditional AMG enthusiasts, Mercedes appears to be reconsidering its approach to the flagship C-Class performance model.
The company's Chief Technology Officer, Jörg Burzer, has hinted that AMG could offer future 63-badged models with both gasoline and electric power. Speaking to Australian publication Drive, Burzer confirmed that “we’re working on both” when asked about the two powertrain options. Pressed on whether that could mean selling a gasoline-powered C63 alongside an electric counterpart, the executive repeated the same answer, suggesting Affalterbach is exploring both possibilities without officially confirming plans for a dual-powertrain C63 lineup.
