Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate review

It would have been an interesting conversation and, don’t worry, I’m not going to do the accent.

‘Guys, we’ve had this great idea!’

‘Go on…’

‘We have found a way to make the next C63 even more powerful and faster still!’

‘You have our attention.’

‘Better, we can make it appear to use less fuel, emit less CO2, show how environmentally aware even we at AMG are, and allow our customers to leave home in complete silence without waking their neighbours!’

‘We understand. You’re going to add a hybrid to the V8 as we have with some of our other cars. It’s a good idea. Please proceed.’

At which point I imagine there’d have been a pause, followed by the presenter emitting a rather long ‘Ah…’ before explaining that’s not exactly what the team had in mind.
