Mercedes-AMG has done itself no favours with the technology.

 

[Satanicom]

This car would be close to perfection if AMG installs the 450kw (612PS) version of the V8 and removes the hybrid tech. These are the obvious benefits:

1) At least 250 to 300kg less weight. Will be a huge benefit for the handling and braking.
2) Improved performance especially at higher speeds. The new AMG GT Pro is a good example, it weighs 1950kg and with the 450kw powertrain does 0-100 in 3.2sec (vs 3.4 in the C63) and 0-200 in 10.9sec (vs 12.6 in the C63).
3) Increased boot size from 280ltr to 455 ltr.
4) Less complexity with the matching of the engine with gearbox and electric motor and gearbox.
5) It doesn't run out of power after long usage. The current C63 will only have 680PS for 10 seconds and then normally have 570PS, but if there is no battery power, then only 476PS will be available from the 4cylinder engine, while the V8 will have 612PS all the time.
6) Smoother and more refined power delivery.
7) Much more character and a melodious roar from the V8 under full throttle.

Couldn't agree more!

Same for the SL Series
SL450 - 3.0 M256 450HP
SL55 AMG - M177 557HP
SL63S AMG - M177 639HP

That would be proper engines for the top SL series.

That should be a SL53 not 450. No need for a S version either. Just make it the SL63 and call it a day.

Aye, and square that for the GT as well

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

I had a new C63 for 4 days this week. Such a good looking car. Shame about the drivetrain and interior quality. I would not pay AUD$220K for one, that's for damn sure.

I see CLE53s almost every week now. Still no C63s lol.

The C63 is simply nowhere close to feeling near its asking price.

 

[GTA45E]

The CLE and the C-Class interiors in general feel underwhelming for the asking prices.
Both have the feel of a $ 40,000 USD car in my opinion. The E-Class fit and finish for example is definitely more premium.

I saw my first CLE 53 yesterday, a Magno Black exterior with black interior. Its exterior was, dare I say, suggestive of what I remember expecting of a $40,000 dollar not too long ago. However, very aggressively endowed with the GT style wheels. I almost felt like it had "way too much wheel" if that's even possible for car enthusiasts.

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

I mean all the recent Merc's look fantastic in their AMG forms.
Even the much maligned C63s looks fantastic. If only they made a 2-door coupe for it. Yeah I know the CLE replaces it, but a smaller lighter, more agile coupe like the W205 with the W206 design cues would have looked amazing. With the M256M would have made a nice competitor to the M2.

Has there ever been an ugly or visually underwhelming AMG?

I guess the EQE 53 if that really counts lol.

[Merc1]

The R63 is the only one I can think of.

I thought that unicorn was the coolest AMG ever!!

C36

The first gen C36 and C43 W202 models are very underwhelming and highly forgettable AMG models. Definitely at the top of the list fully agree.

 

[Sunny]

I love the C43's understated looks.

 

[Merc1]

Yeah the C36 and C43 were special to me. They were the first official factory backed AMG models here in the USA.
