AMG C 43 4MATIC SEDAN
The AMG C-Class is born from racing success, from countless German Touring Car Championships to its creators' success in Formula 1®. With performance innovations derived directly from motorsports, the AMG C 43 4MATIC Sedan is all about taking the lead, and running with it.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test limits, and for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to a new generation of electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
High energy, crafted by hand
Applying AMG's "One man, one engine" principle, the C 43 unites high-tech with handcraftsmanship. An innovative turbo setup, dual-stage direct injection and hybrid electrification wring 416 hp and 0-100 in 4.6 seconds from a compact two litres. Disclaimer[1]
Nine speeds, calibrated to quicken
The multiclutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT replaces the traditional torque converter with a lighter, more responsive wet startup clutch. Multiple modes offer such benefits as shorter shift times and multigear downshifts with a double-click of a shift paddle.
Electric turbo, born from racing
An innovative electric exhaust-gas turbocharger is a street-car first, proven in racing by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1® team. A thin electric motor accelerates the compressor at low rpm, literally boosting the boost until the exhaust gases can take over.
Exhaust notes, conducted into a symphony
With an active flap tuned to the driving mode, rpm and load, the AMG sport exhaust can revel in the revs or speak with discretion. Standard AMG Real Performance Sound can enhance the way actual engine sounds are experienced inside the cabin.
Sharp reflexes from strong instincts
The agility of an AMG C-Class comes not just from its advanced technology but the very nature of its being. Conceived, developed and refined by a team of racers, each element of handling turns collaboration into graceful coordination.
Torque delivered wisely
AMG Performance 4MATIC is all-wheel drive that preserves the sports-sedan feel beloved by driving enthusiasts. A rear-biased 31/69 torque split helps it enhance cornering grip and launch traction without sacrificing agility and balance. Disclaimer[2]
All the wheels taking turns
With up to 2.5 degrees of rear-axle steering, all four wheels are in on the handling action. Rear wheels can steer opposite or in phase with the fronts based on speed, drive mode and vehicle dynamics, to enhance stability, agility and manoeuvrability. Disclaimer[2]
Changing roads, shifting moods
AMG RIDE CONTROL pairs adaptive damping with adapted hardware and 3-stage parameter steering to continually optimize feel and feedback. AMG DYNAMIC SELECT's four drive modes let you fine-tune performance. The new AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package adds a fifth mode, red brake calipers and dynamic engine mounts. Disclaimer[3]
Cheats the wind, indulges the driver
From its subtly shark-nosed vertical-bar grille to its driver-focused cockpit, everything about the C 43 puts the emphasis on AMG's core value: Driving performance. Form and function both flow seamlessly, inside and out.
Art of support
Sculpted front sport seats, or the racing-inspired AMG Performance seat option, feature deep bolsters and bold details. A wide range of upholstery and trim options let you tailor the cabin to suit yourself.
Displays of power
Dual digital displays are high in resolution, big in size, angled toward the driver, and highly customizable. In addition to four instrumentation styles, you can opt for an AMG Head-Up Display or the integrated track data logging of AMG Track Pace. Disclaimer[4] Disclaimer[5]
Touches of brilliance
Capacitive touch buttons on the twin spokes of the AMG Performance steering wheel put cockpit features at your thumbs. Shift paddles and the AMG DRIVE UNIT keep power and performance settings at hand, too. The wheel is wrapped in Nappa leather, with microfibre side grips available in tandem with Nappa leather or carbon design accents.
Metals of valor
AMG wheels meld precision with poise and presence. Choices range from 18 to 20 inches. Each design is aero-optimized to reduce drag and enhance brake cooling. Disclaimer[6] Disclaimer[7] Disclaimer[8]
Showcase of style
Unmistakable AMG style can also express your own. Two Night Packages add gloss black accents. You can render key elements in genuine carbon fibre. There's also an AMG Optics Package.
