When Mercedes-AMG moved towards four-cylinder engines with its new C63 and GLC63, it sent car enthusiasts' hearts aflutter. The magic of creativity that was there in the tune of V-8 engines suddenly seemed to be fading away. But Mercedes-AMG surprised us by telling us that their V-8 fad is not over yet. In the coming days, we await a new and spectacular V-8 car that will take us back to the world of speed.
V-8 look-ahead: CLE63 on the way
Mercedes-Benz Australia's head of media relations and product communications, Jerry Stamoulis, revealed that the V-8's future is still bright. "We have a lot more to come on the V-8 front. If you really want a V-8 AMG, we have one," he told Carsales. The announcement is a relief, especially for enthusiasts who thought the V-8 era was coming to an end.
So, which will be the next V-8 model? It's not fully confirmed yet, but most people have their eyes on the CLE63. The CLE63, which is the new version of the CLK, is already being touted as a fusion of the coupe and convertible versions of the C-Class and E-Class. It's likely to feature a 4.0-liter V-8 engine, giving it a nod to AMG's traditional power and performance.
The Return of the V-8: Rumors and Reality
There have been some rumors recently that the CLE63 could feature a plug-in hybrid setup based around a smaller 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This plan seems really strange, especially when we consider that the "63" model has always been powered by a V-8. Changing plans like this can be really confusing, but it is also a sign that Mercedes-AMG believes in delivering the best experience to its customers.
The Road Ahead: E63 and Beyond
The jury is still out on the engine options for the next-generation E63. However, about a year ago, AMG CEO Michael Shibe clarified that there would be no V-8 engine. Instead, plug-in hybrid technology will be used, which could offer a greater power advantage over the CLE63.
