Update: AMG has since confirmed to Motor1 that the new AMG C63 will, in fact, not get a V-8 engine, contrary to previous reporting. Other AMG models will still get the new V-8, but it's unclear what the company has planned for its updated C63.

Mercedes held its annual results conference this week, outlining how it intends to become "leaner, faster, and stronger."
