AMG will keep the V8 engine

AMG has announced that its 4.0-L V8 engine will remain in service longer than expected due to reduced demand for electric cars, but will not be an option in the most powerful versions of the Mercedes C-Class and E-Class, which will receive new powertrains.

Like many other companies, Mercedes-AMG planned to fully electrify its cars, but the current situation with battery prices forced this company to change its plans. This means that the full electrification of Mercedes-AMG cars is expected after 2035.

The company announced that it is investing a lot of money in the development of the hybrid system, and that customers are increasingly getting used to the 2.0-L four-cylinder engine (M139) with a plug-in hybrid system, which powers the current model C63. The decision of the Mercedes management is also supported by Michael Schiebe, CEO of AMG.

2025 Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro 4MATIC+

The Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro is a new powerful car from the German brand, which is intended for racetracks but is also road legal. With this car, Mercedes is trying to stay competitive with other brands like Porsche and its 911 GT3 RS.

The car is equipped with optimized active aerodynamics, improved cooling (engine, transmission and differential), carbon-ceramic brakes, tuned adaptive suspension, 420 mm brake discs, and the option of rear axle steering. The interior is equipped with profiled AMG Performance seats.

Under the bonnet is a 4.0-L biturbo V8 engine with 612 hp (450 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, paired with AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G. That’s 27 horsepower and 50 Nm more than the standard version, which is enough to push the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph). The car is mounted on ultralight 21-inch rims with optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires (no extra charge).

The new Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro will definitely meet the requirements of even the most demanding drivers and provide an absolute racetrack feel.

Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed Mythos

In 2022, Mercedes announced a special brand of luxury car with sports characteristics, Mythos. Now the German company has revealed that the first model will be the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed.

When designing PureSpeed, the engineers found inspiration for certain elements in Mercedes’ legendary racing 300 SLR, with which the Stirling Moss/Denis Jenkinson crew won the Italian Mille Miglia race. In addition to the reinforcement behind the seat backrest, the safety of the driver and passenger in the event of a rollover is also ensured by a tubular titanium structure with three points of fastening, similar to the solution that has been used on Formula 1 cars since 2018.

Mercedes-AMG CEO Michael Schiebe believes that this car will give the driver the true experience that comes with open racing cars. The currently unknown powertrain should certainly contribute to that. Some believe that under the bonnet should be the 4-liter biturbo V8 engine from the SL 63 model, with 585 hp (436 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. However, a more powerful plug-in hybrid option with 816 hp (608 kW) is not excluded either.

The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed will be produced in limited numbers, with only 250 examples being offered to enthusiasts and collectors.
