Mercedes-Benz Warns It Will Close a German Assembly Plant and Engine Factory Unless Costs Come Down
Sep 22, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- 680 PS combined output makes it genuinely one of the fastest sedans sold in India
- AWD and a hybrid battery pack add real all-weather usability alongside the performance
Worth knowing
- At nearly Rs 2 crore, it is priced well into dedicated sports-car territory
- Hybrid hardware adds real weight versus a simpler pure-petrol AMG
- Mercedes-AMG ended global production of the C 63 S E Performance at the end of May 2026 due to weak demand; India stock may be limited to remaining dealer inventory going forward
