Moving from the SL to the C-Class, the Mercedes-AMG 2-litre 4-cylinder has gained in power and torque.
It indeed develops 408 hp and 500 Nm, against 381 hp and 480 Nm in the roadster.
As a reminder, before the energy contained in the exhaust gases is sufficient (but also in order to maintain the pressure during deceleration), the turbocharger can be driven electrically by the 48-volt micro-hybrid system.
This should guarantee exemplary responsiveness.
This same network also powers the belt-driven starter-alternator.
Thanks to the latter, an additional boost of 10 kW (14 hp) is available in certain driving situations.
All this cavalry goes to the road via the 4Matic all-wheel drive (dynamic front/rear distribution of 31/69).
And thanks to Launch Control, 0 to 100 km/h takes only 4.6 seconds, or 3 tenths less than for the SL 43. Furthermore, in addition to steel springs and specific adaptive dampers, this super Class C is also equipped with variable power steering and a steerable rear axle.
Obviously, music lovers may regret the V6 of the old model.
In this regard, the AMG exhaust system should provide adequate acoustic support.
In addition, in the passenger compartment, the listening pleasure can be further increased with the AMG Real Performance Sound option, which captures the real sound of the engine in the exhaust line and diffuses it into the passenger compartment via the sound speakers. .
The Mercedes-AMG C43 will be offered as a sedan and station wagon.
