This week we took a spin in the redesigned 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 E Performance. The new sports sedan has traded in the previous V-8 for a 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain generating up to 671 hp, which is hard not to love.

McLaren’s Artura plug-in hybrid supercar was another car we tested this week. It may only pack a V-6, but thanks to electrification it also makes a stout 671 hp.

We also spotted a prototype for the redesigned 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. The new sports car is closely related to the redesigned SL launched for 2022, and as a result won’t have a convertible option this time around.
