The modern-day Alpine A110 has always been a bit like one of those indie albums that’s massively popular with critics and geeks on music forums but often overlooked by the mainstream. While things like the A290 and the F1 team are efforts to make Alpine a bit more Top 40, the A110 is the car world’s ‘Loveless’ or ‘In the Aeroplane Over the Sea’.

The end of the world has seemingly arrived for car enthusiasts as the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 emerges on US soil, now packing half as many cylinders and half as many turbochargers as before. In an effort to reduce pollution and save the polar bears, the AMG-flavored C-Class sedan ditches its fire-breathing twin-turbo V8 in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain. This might seem like sacrilege against the worshipers of speed, but don't accuse AMG of heresy until you hear what the new C63 can do.
