      Powering the C43 AMG will be a 3.0-litre V6 Biturbo engine which produces 361bhp and 520Nm. It is mated to the AMG spec nine-speed automatic transmission. The driver can choose from five transmission modes from the Dynamic Select switch – economy, comfort, sport, sport+ and individual. A sprint from 0 - 100kmph takes around 4.7seconds while the top speed is electronically limited to 250kmph.

      The C43 AMG comes with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system unlike the C63 S AMG, which is rear-wheel drive. All the torque from the engine is split by sending 33 per cent to the front axle and 67 per cent to the rear.

      It gets 18-inch five-spoke light-alloy wheels as standard, but Mercedes can also provide a 19-inch five-twin-spoke or multi-spoke alloys as optional extra. Braking responsibilities will be taken care by ventilated compound brake discs at the front and rear. The C43 can also be had with AMG Performance exhaust system.

The most fascinating element inside the cabin are the red seatbelts complimented by red contrast stitching. The COMMAND infotainment system, 590 watts Burmester surround sound system with 13 speakers, and panoramic sliding sunroof will all come as standard in the C43 AMG.
