Yahoo Autos No, Mercedes-AMG C 63 and E 63 won't get a V8 back after all, sources say
We should have seen this coming. Seems rumors about the future of the four-cylinder hybrid powertrain in the C 63 S E Performance and the six-cylinder hybrid coming in the E 63 S E Performance are making more noise than either engine creates on its own. Earlier this month, Car and Driver contributor Georg Kacher credited two insider sources for news that AMG could put V8 powertrains back in the AMG C 63 and AMG E 63 as soon as 2026. In answer to that, German publication Auto, Motor und Sport (translated) called its insider sources at AMG. The outlet said it "encountered a general shaking of heads" and the reply, "This is pure nonsense." The conclusion was: "The rumors that the V8 is making a comeback in the AMG C and E class are simply wrong."
Obviously, we on the outside have no idea what's going to happen. It is also obvious, though, that carmakers don't want to give away information on future product. Our own sources at AMG would need exhaustive convincing just to confirm the day of the week, to say nothing of future product details.
