2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe: Like a C63, Minus 107 Horses
We really dig the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe. With a stonking 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 sending 469 horses to the rear wheels, it’s the kind of burly, tire-punishing fun we’ve come to expect from the AMG brand. But not everybody can commit to daily driving such brutality. That, we assume, is where the newly-revealed Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe, seen here, comes in: With a more manageable power output and 4Matic all-wheel-drive, it’s the Mercedes muscle coupe for folks who value traction.
And of course, those numbers don’t really correspond to anything anymore. The Mercedes-AMG C43 is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, putting out 362 horses and 384 lb.-ft. of torque; none of those numbers bears any mathematical relationship to the number 43, but there you have it.
