The fifth-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance is an interesting moral dilemma. And it’s all because of what’s under the hood. Gone is the mighty V8, which used to rumble and roar its way into your heart. In its place, you’ll find a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, an uprated version of what powers the feisty AMG A45. It now claims the title of the most powerful production four-cylinder in the world. Paired with an ...
