Ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, Mercedes-AMG presented a highly impressively lineup. Making their debuts in the Mercedes-Benz Manhattan flagship store were the performance versions of the C-Class from Mercedes-AMG. Further highlights were the U.S. premieres of the Mercedes-AMG G 63 (fuel consumption combined: 13.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 299 g/km) and the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe (fuel consumption combined: 11.2-9.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 256-209 g/km), which celebrated their world premieres in Geneva earlier in the month. Speaking at the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Manhattan, Dietmar Exler, President & CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, and Tobias Moers, Chief Executive of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, provided a strategic overview of the vehicles and explained the conceptual and technical highlights of the individual models. The main spotlight was on the new C-Class performance models. Following quickly on from the C 43 4MATIC Sedan and Wagon (fuel consumption combined: 9.6-9.3 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 220-213 g/km)2, the Coupe and Cabriolet (fuel consumption combined: 9.8-9.5 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 223-217 g/km)2 have also received a comprehensive update. The shared visual indicators are the AMG radiator grille with its twin-fin design, the powerfully sculpted front skirt and the new rear skirt with twin round tailpipes. The interior benefits from the optional, fully digital cockpit featuring exclusive AMG instruments and the new generation of AMG steering wheels. The 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine now produces 287 kW (390 hp). Handling and agility have been further enhanced by the highly responsive AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and the rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is a real game changer in the 55-year history of AMG. With know-how from Formula 1, it brings state-of-the-art technologies from motorsport to the road. A two-speed electric motor positioned on the rear axle supports the 2.0-litre turbo engine that is mounted longitudinally at the front. This is the most powerful production four-cylinder in the world. Power delivery and torque build-up occur very spontaneously and without delay: as in Formula 1, the electric support of the exhaust gas turbocharger eliminates the turbo lag of the combustion engine, while at the same time the electric drive pushes powerfully from a standstill. The electric powertrain and the high-performance battery with 400 volts are AMG-exclusive, in-house developments. They underline the high-end engineering competence of the Affalterbach-based developers. Just like in Formula 1, the battery is specifically designed for fast power output and draw with innovative direct cooling of the cells. The combined system output is 500 kW (680 hp), the combined maximum system torque 1020 Nm. These are new peak values for the C-Class.
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is a real game changer: the hybrid powertrain is designed for maximum performance. It combines the AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine with an Electric Drive Unit (EDU) on the rear axle for a completely new driving experience. In addition to the clearly noticeable immediate thrust, the independent layout also ensures a balanced weight distribution – which benefits driving dynamics and handling in equal measure. Depending on the driving mode, the electric motor boosts power and torque according to the situation, for a particularly comfortable or performance-oriented driving experience. All-electric driving is also possible. The electric powertrain and the high-performance battery with 400 volts are AMG exclusive, in-house developments. Just like in Formula 1, the battery is specifically designed for fast power output and draw with innovative direct cooling of the cells. The electric range of 13 kilometres allows a practical operating radius, for example in the city or in residential areas. The combined system output is 500 kW (680 hp), the combined maximum system torque 1,020 Nm. These are new peak values for the C-Class.
