The story

Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance

The engine alone makes 476 PS, and its electrically assisted turbocharger draws on technology from the Mercedes Formula One team to cut lag.

The 6.1 kWh battery is cooled cell by cell and was developed for short bursts of high power rather than long electric range.
