An event for Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts is around this weekend. The Mercedes-Benz World! event is on at KL Base Sungai Bezi from tomorrow, 5th July to the 7th of July 2024 from 10am to 6 pm. There, you can view the current  Mercedes-Benz line up of over 30 models from all segments. There are also test drives and other interesting stuff to do. Aside from that, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Unveiling of three new high-performance AMG models – the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE F1 Edition, Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S 4MATIC+, and the Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 4MATIC. 

The C63 S E is basically all new in Malaysia. It sports an electric motor and AMG high-performance battery on the rear axle combines a superior system of output of 500kW (680hp) with high driving dynamics and high efficiency too. Due to engine downsizing, making it lack a V8 like the previous generation, this C63 now has the world’s most powerful four-cylinder engine with an output per litre of 176kW (238hp). According to Mercedes-AMG, the sports sedan a real game changer in the 55-year history of AMG.

 The 2.0liter turbocharged monster coupled with its electric motor, makes a total of 680hp. Massive amounts of performance and while we don't get the V8 (which I state again), this actually would make sense if it were a long term purchase, the road tax is close to the 1999cc C300 at around RM378 per annum. Even ownership of one for a ten year period would be actually reasonable in terms of Malaysian road tax. Of course, this is a small bonus vs. having a 4.0l V8. But performace is massive, 0-100kmh in 4.6seconds, and a 250kmh top speed. This is a very fast Plug-in Hybrid folks.

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE (F1 Edition) is priced at MYR 958,888 (including 10% ST) for Peninsular Malaysia. Price is on the road, without insurance. Vehicle delivery to commence from August 2024 onwards.
