In this review by Savagegeese, the Mercedes-Benz C63 SE performance takes center stage, causing quite a stir with its departure from the traditional V8 to a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine coupled with electric motors. This bold move has divided opinions among enthusiasts, with many questioning if the car has lost its essence. However, the team delves deep into the technical intricacies behind this controversial decision, shedding light on the advanced technology and engineering prowess that Mercedes has poured into this new setup.

The exterior design of the C63 receives high praise for its classic muscle car aesthetic, standing out from competitors like the G Series M3 and M4. Inside, the car offers a mix of premium materials and comfort features, though usability concerns arise with the touch-based MBUX infotainment system. Despite being track-capable, the C63 leans more towards providing a luxurious driving experience, with spacious and adjustable seats but compromised trunk space due to the battery pack.

Transitioning to the technical aspects, the C63 sits on the M2 platform, boasting a rear-wheel drive setup and a wider track for enhanced performance. The car's weight, nearing 5,000 lb, is partially attributed to the battery pack, which contributes to a slightly rear-biased balance. The inclusion of rear steer and variable gear ratio steering systems adds a layer of nimbleness to the driving dynamics, showcasing Mercedes' commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and handling.
