As Mercedes-Benz is already shifting to smaller engines for the sake of efficiency and sustainability, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance stands as a testament that powerplant downsizing can be implemented without compromising power. The video here provides a demo of what it is capable of on the road.

The Test Drive

The video from AutoTopNL shows the Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance being driven in what appears to be the countryside where there are only a few vehicles and no pedestrians in sight. We’re not sure where it is but if the name of the uploader is to be considered, it might be somewhere in the Netherlands where people drive on the right side of the road.

There are no narrations here. All you can hear is the unadulterated hum of the electrified engine.
