As it turns out, AMG’s brilliant 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 fits into the engine bay of the plug-in hybrid C63.

For the past two years, Vuk Manufaktur has been working on developing and building the V8-powered W206 C63 we’ve all been waiting for. The work has been wrapped up and it sounds like what AMG should have done in the first place.

Few details have been provided about the engine swap, although it wouldn’t have been easy. The four-cylinder powertrain has been removed, together with all of the plug-in hybrid parts, like the trio of electric motors. Vuk hasn’t specified what AMG V8 it’s installed, but it looks to be the beloved 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 found in plenty of AMG models. A seven-speed automatic transmission has probably been fitted alongside the new V8.
