AMG C 43, C 63 and C 63 S COUPES
If you want a performance coupe with a great track record, an AMG C-Class has a legacy filled with track records, including years of German Touring Car Championships. More than thoroughbreds, they can also make every day a thoroughly joyous drive.
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.
More power, the most power, and then some
AMG engineering and hardware fortify the AMG C 43's biturbo V6, raising its output to 385 hp. Biturbo V8s, each engine handcrafted by its own master, make the 469-hp C 63 more powerful than any coupe in its segment, except for the 503-hp C 63 S. [3]
A torrent of torque, precisely metered
The C 43's AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive combines light weight with a 31:69 front/rear torque split to match agility with tenacity. An electronically controlled limited-slip differential is standard in the C 63 and C 63 S, to brilliantly balance the torque sent to their rear wheels. [4]
Nine speeds, to keep power at hand
Every AMG C-Class features a quick-shifting 9-speed. Both the multiclutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT in the C 63 models and the C 43's AMG SPEEDSHIFT® TCT offer multiple modes and direct multi-gear downshifts with just the double-click of the "minus" shift paddle.
AMG RIDE CONTROL, to turn air into agility
Adaptive AMG RIDE CONTROL air suspension offers multiple modes and many talents. It lowers at speed. It can adapt the damping rate at each wheel in milliseconds to help take winding roads, hard turns and heavy loads in stride. With rigid components and flexible range, it's track-tuned and road-ready.
Many modes, for all your driving moods
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. The available AMG DRIVE UNIT places drive-mode controls with color displays right on the steering wheel. [5]
Calipers of a higher caliber, for unfading confidence
Multipiston fixed front calipers apply strong, more even braking force. Sizable discs are cast with their perforations in place, not drilled later. Racing-proven compound front discs on the AMG C 63 S can be upgraded to extreme-performance Ceramic Composite brakes. [6] [7]
A world of performance at your fingertips
The AMG C-Class cockpit envelops you in advanced tech. With Touch Control Buttons, shift paddles and a choice of trim options, the AMG Performance steering wheel keeps it within easy reach. Vivid displays include a 10.25-inch center screen and an available 12.3-inch digital instrument panel.
Exquisitely finished, yet always open to change
Power front sport seats or available AMG Performance seats, along with a stylish range of upholstery and cabin trim options, let you tailor your C-Class for a perfect fit. And with a standard Panorama roof and 64-color LED cabin lighting, you can refresh its ambience any time you want.
