AMG老板TobiasMoers近日表示，由于越来越严格的排放法规将对下一代C63造成冲击，因此，新一代C63预计将不再搭载4.0升V8双涡轮引擎。他表示：“我们将继续追求高性能，但不会将性能与气缸数量紧密联系起来。”他非常赞赏电动化动力系统对于车辆性能的提升，进一步表示：“下一代奔驰-AMGC63将采用混动系统。”至于新车发布时间，预计将于2020年以后。面对欧洲越来越严格的排放法规，新一代C63可能会采用六缸引擎搭配电动辅助动力系统以便能应对未来更严格法规，同时不会对车辆性能构成不利影响。而AMG工程师也将开发新的技术，Moers表示，他对于AMG能求得最佳方案充满信心。

 

AMG Boss Announces Next Mercedes-AMG C63 Will Go Hybrid

Like a disease, the downsizing bug is spreading all over the car industry and will eventually affect the C63. The high-performance model lineup was just given a mid-cycle refresh at the New York Auto Show, but the man in charge at AMG is already eager to talk about what the future has in tow for the rear-wheel-drive machine. Speaking with CarAdvice, Tobias Moers suggested more stringent emissions regulations are going to have a direct impact on the next C63, which is expected to lose its biturbo 4.0-liter V8 engine:

 

We have to be creative and I’m chasing performance and that’s not strictly linked to the number of cylinders.” He went on to praise the benefits of having an electrified powertrain in a performance car, adding “for sure the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 will be a hybrid – that’s now a given.” As to when it will happen, a new C63 is unlikely to arrive until early into the next decade.

 

“Facing severe regulations” particularly in Europe, Mercedes-AMG has to rethink the C63 and that likely means a six-cylinder with electrical assistance will be used to make it comply with future more stringent regulations without a negative impact on performance. In regards to the soundtrack, Moers says the engineers based in Affalterbach will work on something and he believes AMG will come up with the best solution.
