      Mercedes-AMG C43 launched in India

      The AMG C43 is a performance-oriented version of the regular C-Class. However, sticking to its sportier nature, the car employs a 3.0-litre bi-turbo V6 engine producing 362bhp of power and 520Nm of torque. On the transmission front, a nine-speed automatic gearbox does the duty while sending power to all the wheels through a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system that is 69 per cent rear biased. This helps the car to sprint to 100kmph from a standstill in just 4.7 seconds. An electronically limited top speed is rated at 250kmph.

      The Mercedes-AMG C43 features multiple driving modes including a Sport Plus mode that sets the suspension to its stiffest setting and enables aggressive shift mapping. When you switch to Comfort mode for more sedate driving, a lighter steering and a softer suspension is enabled. The car also gets a modified chassis and a sports suspension featuring AMG RIDE CONTROL and a rigid but light four-wheel multilink design. Then there is three-stage adaptive variable damping and AMG-developed springs, along with electronically controlled shock absorbers.

      The exterior also shouts out performance and shows off the cars racy nature. The main highlights are a diamond-mesh grille, large alloy wheels, a special cladding, a rear spoiler and a performance exhaust. The cabin is also packed with most of the luxury elements that one would expect from a Mercedes. Now the BMW M4, Jaguar F-Type V6 and even the Audi TT have found a new competitor in the sports sedan segment in our country.
