Mercedes’ Turbo Inline-Six Has A 10-Second ‘Push-To-Pass’ Trick That Makes The V8 Look Like Overkill

Mercedes-AMG is taking the next logical step, replacing the outgoing AMG GLC 43’s four-cylinder with a potent 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six in the new GLC 53. Packed with massive, short-burst torque, this six-cylinder powerhouse proves that classic V8 muscle can easily come in a smarter, sleeker package.
