Me too.

Soon very soon

What have you heard?
Curious to hear of AMG have done any more tuning to the M256. I'm almost certain it can do better than 449hp/560Nm.

All I know is that the successor of the current C-Class AMGs will have the M256.

My guess the C53 will have the same powertrain as the E53 so we could be looking at total of 585PS/612PS with performance pack. If the cars weight is about 2100kg then possibly close to the current C63 in performance. The difference in delivery as the C53 could be a full plug in hybrid with bigger 20kwhr battery plus 100km EV range plus 585PS accessible all time and not just boost to 680PS for 10sec or 571PS after that in the C63.

I don't think the new C53 will be a PHEV.

I don't think so, either. There will probably be a six-cylinder, but without a battery. The technology is only for the E53 AMG.

Is it known whether the C-Class facelift will bring the new interior from the GLC EV?, or will the change not be so extensive
