Mercedes-AMG to Reintroduce V8 Engines in C63 and E63 Models by 2026
Mercedes-AMG is reportedly planning to reintroduce V8 engines to its C63 and E63 models by 2026, according to Car and Driver. The current four- and six-cylinder hybrid engines have received criticism from fans who prefer the sound and power of the V8. The move would require modifications to the 4.0-liter V8 to meet EU7 emissions standards. Mercedes-AMG engineers believe the larger engine can be fitted into the C63 and E63 without major modifications. The decision to switch to hybrid engines was met with public outcry, and the reintroduction of the V8 would address concerns about excitement and competition from other brands.
