The powertrain uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four and an electric motor to combine for 671 horsepower and 752 pound-feet of torque.
AMG claims it will accelerate to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and go on to a top speed of 174 mph when properly equipped....The maximum 201-hp output from the motor is available via a boost function that can operate for 10 seconds at a time.....Yes, the C63 can go 8 miles on electricity only, but that is not what this car or this powertrain is about.
Interesting, using the plug in system more like a nitrous boost than anything. Made for storming the autobahn
