Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the new Mercedes-AMG C63 with its controversial hybrid powertrain. Gone is the rumbling V8, in its place a four-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor that between them generate 670bhp. But the car is also very heavy, very expensive and lacking an appropriate soundtrack for a C63 AMG. They also talk about McLaren's incredible Formula 1 turnaround, Monterey Car Week and more.
