AMG CEO, Tobias Moers, has confirmed that the C63 AMG successor will be powered by a V8 but declined to go into specifics on the engine. It will likely be powered by the same or ‘closely related’ twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 that is sitting in the new AMG GT but with less power and torque.
“It goes without saying that the successor to the current C 63 AMG will again be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. We owe that to our loyal fans, plain and simple.” Moers went on to say “The AMG V8 Biturbo engine mesmerizes not only with maximum power and torque, but also with the absolute best fuel economy in the comparative segment” – Tobias Moers
