Recently, many automobile manufacturers are saying goodbye to internal combustion engines. In addition, manufacturers who support their power units with electric motors are reducing their motor capacities day by day. Although this is necessary for the environment, many car lovers are of the opinion that electric motors do not reflect the spirit of cars.
Mercedes-AMG C63 and E63 may return to V8 engines
Recently, Mercedes-Benz has emerged as a brand that has increased its engine volumes thanks to hybrid systems. Undoubtedly, we saw the biggest effect of this in the Mercedes-AMG C63, the brand’s performance model.
Mercedes-AMG C63, which became a whole over time with its V8 engine, switched to a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine in its last generation. Supported by an electric motor, this unit can deliver a total of 680 horsepower. Although these figures are quite impressive, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 SE PERFORMANCE has not been able to please most car lovers.
On the other hand, a similar situation applies to the Mercedes-AMG E63. Saying goodbye to V8 engines with its current model, the car is expected to switch to a hybrid V6 unit in the new generation. Car lovers, on the other hand, believe that the new model will not be able to compete with the M5 model, which is planned to continue with the twin-turbo V8 installation.
Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz is expected to make a critical decision for the next generation C63 AMG and E63 AMG. The information on this subject is that Mercedes-Benz will use a 4.0-liter V8 engine with the code M177 in its performance models from 2026.
This powerful eight-cylinder engine is currently being updated to meet EU7 emissions standards. We have seen the hybrid V8 engine of the German manufacturer in the 831 hp AMG GT63 SE Performance and 791 hp AMG S63. It looks like we will see more hybrid cars from Mercedes-Benz in the future.
It seems that Mercedes-Benz will not break the wishes of its customers who want more ‘livered’ cars and will return to V8 engines. So what do you think about Mercedes-AMG’s performance models and V8 engines? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
