    2024 Mercedes-AMG E63 Could Suffer The Same Fate And Get Hybrid Four-Cylinder says Report

    We already know the upcoming Mercedes-AMG C63 range will be powered by the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder found in the little A45 S albeit with a lot more power thanks to the plug-in hybrid help but is the much larger E63 going to suffer the same fate?

    According to a new report by Autocar, the next-generation Mercedes-AMG E63 could drop the twin-turbo V8 for a tuned-up four-cylinder with a big-battery plug-in hybrid system.

    The UK publication claimed “Mercedes officials have hinted” the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged ‘M177’ V8 powering the current Mercedes-AMG E63 will be phased out, in favour of a version of the next-generation C63’s powertrain. Yes, that is the 2.0-litre turbo ‘M139’ four-cylinder paired with a high-output plug-in hybrid system and all-wheel drive.

    Autocar claims the combined out will reach 600 hp (447 kW) but we think it will be close to or even above the 480 kW figure announced earlier this year to offset the additional weight of the battery pack.

    Before we lose all hope we must remember that Mercedes-AMG has also just revealed the new V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain from the GT 63 S E Performance, which pairs the familiar twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor for totals of 831 hp (620 kW) and over 1,400 Nm (1,033 lb-ft) of torque. In our eyes, this would be a brilliant fit for a new E63, without requiring the sedan to step down to four cylinders to achieve a balance of both emissions and performance.

    • The brand new Haval H6 GT was spotted in Bedfordview JHB by @engineeringkulture 

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
