According to a report from Car and Driver, future models of the Mercedes-AMG C63 and E63 are slated to reintroduce V8 engines. The information comes from two independent sources who claim that these vehicles will adopt a modified version of the M177 twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine by 2026.

Senior engineers working on the project have revealed that the C-Class and E-Class will undergo minor modifications to accommodate the V8 engine. This particular version of the engine is expected to meet EU7 emissions regulations and may also feature hybrid assistance, as suggested by the sources. When Motor1.com approached Mercedes for comment, the automaker declined to provide any confirmation or additional information regarding future products.
