Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe: a budget C63

Imagine being a Mercedes fanatic but not having enough money to buy a beautiful C63 Coupé. What are your options? Mercedes-AMG is happy to help. The label AMG Performance is already gone and from now on the less sporty models are also named AMG. Earlier we already met the AMG SLC 43, now it's time for the C Coupé, meet the AMG C 43 Coupé.

The C43 Coupé is the less powerful brother of the C63 Coupe. Under the hood we find the V6 we already know from the GLE 450, the C 450, the SL 400 and the earlier mentioned SLC 43. The engine has a wide support from Mercedes. That isn't that strange when we look at the specifications: 367 hp, 517 Nm of torque and a combined usage of between 7.5 and 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on which car the engine powers. It's a great performance for this engine.

Well, we've already seen the engine in other models by Mercedes but how is this engine doing in the C43? Quite good! The sprint from zero to 100 kph takes 4.7 seconds and the top speed is limited at 250 kph. It helps that the C43 is equpped with the 4Matic four-wheel drive system. The C43 also uses some components of the C63. The adaptive sports suspension coems straight from the C63 just like some other parts. Of course the looks of the car are comlpeted with AMG bumpers, 'biturbo 4matic' badges, a diamond grille and adjusted exhausts.
