Mercedes recently announced that its V8 engines are not going out the window any time soon, this new engine has been modelled to comply with the Euro 7 standard. Rumours of this engine returning to the AMG C63 have been circling around the internet for quite some time now, though the engine is expected to debut later in 2025 with the release of the facelifted AMG CLE63.

Power
This new engine would be accompanied by a mild hybrid system, to further increase power and efficiency. The engine hasn't been confirmed for the C63 yet, though we might be seeing a more formidable C63 as early as 2026. We expect this C63 and CLE63 to produce 600 - 700 horsepower, with the engine boosted by two turbochargers. Mercedes has also confirmed that it will continue producing V12 engines, for it's Maybach S-class and hypercard like the Pagani Utopia.

Design
The V8 C63 will likely retain the same body as it has right now, with no visible differences from a 4 cylinder C63. The CLE63 however, would have had a facelift, with an updated front end and rectangular quad exhausts rather than circular ones found on the current CLE coupe. This car will also include large air intakes in the front and a larger wheel and brake combo. The CLE is currently undergoing testing, of both the coupe and convertible bodystyles, which are both expected to arrive to the US market in the 2026 model year.
