Article is worth a full read and consideration before summarily dismissing because 4 cylinder.

Probably thanks to F1 fandom and never being that keen on turbocharged engines (apart from weight penalty, see no reason to favor turbo over hybrid), I'm sold on this tech.

Enjoy the V8 in the C63 S everyday, but do I think the AMG F1 engineers could do better with 4 fewer cylinders & hybrid tech? Honestly, yup. They've been mastering that exact combination since 2013.

If they want to really stick a knife in M --

AMG F1 car revs to 14,000.

Project One revs to 11,000.

M139 in entry AMG's revs to 7,200.

C63 revs to.....

Powertrain could potentially deliver the very best historical characteristics of both AMG and M -- torque, responsiveness, and high revs.

Would be the ideal recipe to offset the loss of the V8.
