“The electrified powertrain offers a whole new driving experience,” Jochen says.

Made for adventure

 

To test the full extent of its capabilities, we took the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE for a drive through the historic city of Launceston in Tasmania, Australia and beyond. Draped over the hills that surround the Tamar River, Launceston is famed for its spectacular scenery. It’s also the gateway to the Tamar Valley and some of the very best driving roads in Australia, making it the ideal backdrop to our adventure – and the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE the perfect driving companion.

 

Engaging dynamics are at the core of the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE experience; it rolls effortlessly as we head toward the Tamar Valley. Many of these roads have hosted stages and the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE feels made for them, offering secure road holding and startling agility.

 

The duality of the vehicle is quite remarkable. In one breath, it’s quiet, barely disturbing the peace. In the next, it roars ahead, ready to devour the tarmac before it.

 

As the roads climb and twist back on themselves, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE steers into hairpins with enthusiasm, while the tireless brakes are reassuringly responsive. The combined 500kW of power punches the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE out of hairpins with vivid acceleration and a distinctive growl. This experience is only enhanced by the AMG Real Performance Sound system, which feeds the natural sounds of the engine and exhaust back into the cabin for a captivating soundscape.

“…the new C 63 illustrates once again the high level of technical expertise that AMG possesses.”
