The current C-Class likely won’t get AMG’s new twin-turbo V8. Mercedes says the math no longer works for this car’s lifecycle. The next C-Class keeps the door open for a V8 after 2028. Mercedes-AMG has revealed that the current-generation C-Class, which just received a mid-cycle facelift, likely won’t receive its new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, not even in C 63 guise, dashing hopes that the company’s BMW M3 competitor would finally get the engine it so desperately needs.

The Unifor trade union says Stellantis admitted it is considering closing and selling Brampton site. Ontario plant previously built Dodge Chargers but hasn’t produced a new vehicle since 2023. Plans to build the Jeep compass there were scrapped in 2025 and production moved to Illinois. Brampton’s silent assembly plant could soon get a For Sale sign. Trade union Unifor says Stellantis is considering shutting and selling the Ontario factory, once home to Dodge muscle cars and full-size Chrysler products, after a promised revival became a never-ending waiting game. The former AMC plant most recently built the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger and Challenger, but stopped building cars in late 2023 as Stellantis prepared it for new Jeep production.
