Mercedes-Benz denies V-8 rumors, confirming the C63 AMG will keep its F1-inspired 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain.

This new report is also consistent with the rumor that the new V-8 will switch from a cross-plane to flat-plane crank design. It’s going to be based on the current 4.0-liter twi

Just last week, reports again surfaced saying Mercedes-AMG would be putting a V8 in the C63 once again, along with a refresh for 2026. These reports came along with the news that AMG was building a new V8. This time instead of the traditional 4.0-liter unit Benz has been using for years, it was going to move to a flat-plane crank design.

The new Mercedes-AMG V8 will be a ‘high-tech electrified V8’ that has us counting down the days until its arrival.

We’ll believe it when we see it, but the Mercedes-AMG C 63 might be reunited with its beloved V-8 as soon as 2026.

The company basically binned the car's stock high-output 2.0-liter biturbo-based hybrid powertrain—battery pack and all—and swapped in an older version of Mercedes-AMG's latest 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. That means, VUK's custom-made V-8 W206 C 63 S is the only one of its kind in the entire world.

With an efficient and powerful hybrid powertrain, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 SE Performance is technological marvel, and great fun to drive.

Mercedes will reportedly unveil an electric supercar concept later this year. The mysterious model could have a solid state battery and axial-flux motors. The supercar is expected to be the fastest-accelerating AMG ever created.

Among the new models will also be a conceptual supercar we should see by the middle of this year, and it is said to be all-electric! The new thundering ocho will replace the current model's controversial four-cylinder engine and still get electric hybrid assist.

Mercedes has a slew of new models due in the next two years, including an AMG supercar concept previewing the performance division's electric powertrain.

Get ready for the quickest-accelerating Mercedes ever.
