The British Autocar confirms that the flagship Mercedes-AMG C-Class will inherit a sixty-cylinder hybrid for the “fifty-third” family, but declares an increase in power and torque. According to insiders, the upgrade will happen in 2026, in the middle of the life cycle W206/S206. The peak recovery of the system will be up to 650 horsepower, of which 480 will provide a gasoline unit.
