Plus, the AMG engineers are said to be busy working on the best possible solution when it comes to the soundtrack, so panic not!This new and (hopefully) improved C63 will most likely be a 6-cylinder, all-wheel drive machine with advanced hybrid technology that is rumoured to have an \u2018always on strategy\u2019 for extra thrust, on demand.More and more performance car makers are dipping their toes in the waters of hybrid electric engines as they are no longer just a tool to reduce fuel costs.BMW M is also moving cautiously into hybrid vehicle territory for their future M cars, so we will soon see these two rivals going head-to-head in a battle of modern electric cars that still have to blow the socks of their buyers.The hybrid car trend is growing & Mercedes-AMG are smart to make this moveCombining a hybrid powertrain with a gas-powered engine is a smart move as this increases the driving range and makes refuelling much simpler.There\u2019s instant power available from an electric motor too, making it an obvious choice for performance cars \u2013 it really is the best of both worlds.It\u2019s quite clear that emission regulations are having a direct impact on the next wave of performance cars coming our way, and many automakers are taking the greener route via hybrid and all-electric options.This needn\u2019t be seen as a bad thing though, in fact there are many immensely powerful cars in the world right now that embrace the power of electricity and this technology is only going to get more advanced as the years go by.So, we may be losing the belovednaturally-aspirated V8\u2019s of our past, but you have to admit that improvedperformance, fuel efficiency and lower emissions are pretty great perks of thisnew electrified world we will soon be living in."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Mercedes-AMG C63 Will Be Hybrid","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/next-mercedes-amg-c63-will-be-hybrid\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
