AMG C 43 and C 63 S CABRIOLETS
When you're born from the racing legacy of the AMG C-Class, driving wide-open is a way of life. Two biturbo, four-seat cabriolets feature power tops that can turn a breeze into an invigorating rush. One of them is also tops in power.
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 only starts with the state of the art. From there, everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. Developed for AMG's racecars, patented NANOSLIDE cylinder walls cut friction, raising endurance and power.
When it comes to power, raise the roof.
Racing-proven AMG technology heightens the horsepower. The C 43's biturbo V6 is pumped up to 385 hp for 2019. A biturbo V8, each engine handcrafted by its own master, makes the 503-hp C 63 S more powerful than any of its open-air competitors. [1]
Keep your fingers on the pulse.
Every AMG C-Class features a quick-shifting 9-speed for 2019. Both the multiclutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT in the C 63 S and the C 43's AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT offer multiple modes and direct multi-gear downshifts with just a quick double-click of a shift paddle.
Touch the sky, grip the road.
Multimode AMG RIDE CONTROL features 3-stage adaptive damping. With Comfort, Sport and Sport+ settings, its electronically controlled shock absorbers can respond in milliseconds to winding roads and the driving modes of AMG DYNAMIC SELECT.
Decelerate decisively.
AMG braking systems get their training in the heat of battle on the track. Perforated discs and multipiston front calipers at least 360 mm in diameter help disperse heat while they help you rein in speed. For extreme endurance, AMG Carbon Ceramic front brakes are an exclusive C 63 S option. [2] [3]
Find a mode for any moment.
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you alter the shifting, throttle, chassis and more via a console button. Modes include Comfort, Slippery, Sport+, and make-your-own Individual, plus RACE on the C 63 S. A standard new AMG DRIVE UNIT adds drive-mode controls with color displays to the C 63 S steering wheel. [4]
Always put your best feet forward.
AMG drive technologies enhance handling in any season. Lightweight and agile, the C 43's AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive features a 31:69 front/rear torque split. A standard electronically controlled limited-slip differential precisely apportions power to the rear wheels of the C 63 S. [4] [5]
Stay open to change.
Even after you've chosen from a spectrum of seating and trim styles, you can keep customizing your AMG C-Class. The front seats can warm you, offer a virtual scarf, and optionally cool you in summer. There's also 64-colour ambient lighting, and an optional reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital instrument panel.
Wield your power wisely.
Featuring intuitive Touch Control Buttons and shift paddles, the AMG Performance steering wheel offers up to four trim options, from full Nappa leather to carbon fibre or DINAMICA microsuede accents. A new AMG DRIVE UNIT adds one-touch driving controls with color displays to the C 63 S.
Make first impressions last.
From nose to tail, distinctive elements set every AMG C-Class apart. A deep front apron underscores the C 43's new twin-crossbar grille. The C 63 S features vertical grille bars and its own aggressively aerodynamic lower bodywork. New LED lighting is standard on both cabriolets.
