In AMG’s 55-year history, the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E represents a significant turning point. Formula 1 knowledge is used to translate contemporary motorsport innovations to the road. When the electrification plan was adopted, it was obvious from the beginning that all necessary components would be made in Affalterbach. The AMG high-performance battery serves as its foundation (HPB). The high-performance battery from AMG combines light weight and high power that can be repeatedly called upon to improve the car’s overall performance. This is supported by the high power density and quick energy demand.
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine is coupled with a permanently excited synchronous electric motor, an Affalterbach-developed high-performance battery, and completely variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive in the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE. With a system power of 500 kW and a maximum system torque of 1020 Nm, the Saloon can reach 100 km/h from a complete stop in just 3.4 seconds. The top speed is only 280 km/h, which is electronically controlled. At the rear axle, the 150-kW electric motor is combined with a two-speed electrically shifted transmission and an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential to form a small electric drive unit (EDU). This design is referred described as a P3 hybrid by experts. Also at the back, above the rear axle, is the compact, high-performance battery
The 2.0-liter, four-cylinder AMG engine was created solely within the company’s Affalterbach headquarters. According to the “One Man, One Engine” idea, skilled specialists produce it in hand-built quality. Mercedes-AMG accomplishes this by integrating a high level of digitization, Industry 4.0, and the craftsmanship of its highly skilled people. The C 63 S’s four-cylinder engine produces 350 kW at 6725 revolutions per minute (476 horsepower). It is therefore the most potent four-cylinder series-produced vehicle in the world. The maximum torque of 545 Nm is available at 5250 rpm. The alternator and starter are combined into a single unit by the belt-driven starter-alternator (RSG), which is a component of the 400-volt high-voltage system. The RSG starts the combustion engine in addition to ensuring the essential supply of ancillary components like air conditioning or driving lights
