00:00This is the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C 63 SE Performance.
00:06This is the most powerful four-cylinder on the road.
00:14Over the last several years, AMG has been one of the partners on an F1 team,
00:20and they've learned a lot, not just about racing and performance,
00:23but also about efficiency and electric power.
00:26And they outfitted the C 63 SE with a plug-in electric hybrid.
00:31It generates 200 horsepower added to the 471 horsepower from the four-cylinder engine,
00:37and it's the most powerful four-cylinder on the road.
00:45The C 63 SE Performance that we're driving is painted in a matte gray graphite color,
00:52and it's capped with a Falterbach badge where you might find the Mercedes badge on the hood.
00:58The latest AMG carries all the new design language.
01:02It has sleek new headlights. It has a new grille. It has new taillights.
01:06And inside, it's outfitted with all the best luxury that Mercedes-AMG offers.
01:12Starting the AMG C 63 is a little bit of a surprise.
01:18Because it's a hybrid, it starts up quiet.
01:21But then you put it in sport mode, and you'll hear it.
01:25Our test model is equipped with the carbon fiber package.
01:28You'll see that on the steering wheel as well as across the dashboard.
01:32There are paddle shifters on the right and the left, and these paddle shifters are for performance.
01:39And we have these iconic dials here.
01:41This is our gear selector here, and then we can customize our settings here.
01:47The multimedia system has all the basic things that you'll need.
01:51This bar is the key to life here.
01:53So there's our camera. Our vehicle settings are here.
01:57Fingerprint, you can customize this to start and drive it with your fingerprint.
02:02And this is where you can quickly toggle through the different drive modes,
02:07and you can easily customize any of these drive modes as well.
02:12You'll also see your performance metrics and driver feedback on the driver display here.
02:17You can actually scroll through the different display options for the driver display.
02:21The Mercedes AMG C 63 that we're driving has the top-of-the-line Burmester sound system,
02:28which is notable for these really beautiful panels in the doors and throughout the car.
02:35The AMG C 63 is equipped with sports seats that are designed to bolster you and hold you in your place
02:41when you're on the track so you won't slide around the car.
02:43Hey Mercedes.
02:45How may I help you?
02:46What's your favorite color?
02:49I love green, especially traffic lights.
02:54The Mercedes voice assistance is here to provide whatever help you need.
03:00There are a lot of things it can do from setting navigation and cabin temperature to radio station
03:06and even answering some pretty complex math questions.
03:10The Mercedes AMG C 63 SE performance starts at about $85,000.
03:17With additions including AMG badging, packaging and a few other things,
03:23the price of our test model comes in at just over $105,000.
03:27The buyer of this car is somebody who really loves track driving.
03:31It's a daily driver. It's a very comfortable sedan.
03:34It has a sizable trunk for road trips.
03:37It's going to be comfortable for everyday driving, but really its place is on the track.
03:42In fact, AMG programmed this car to be driven on up to 40 tracks.
03:46It's programmed for three right now.
03:48And what they did was they mapped those tracks for the car that when the car is on that track,
03:54it will respond to optimize your lap time.
03:57Don't let the four-door sedan fool you.
04:00This car fits like a glove.
04:03Once you sit in the driver's seat and put your hands on the wheel,
04:06you feel like you were born for the track too.
