AMG C 43, C 63 and C 63 S SEDANS
No car in its segment can claim the performance pedigree of an AMG C-Class. Countless German Touring Car Championships fill its trophy case. And with thundering power and lightning-quick response, it's a fitting trophy for your own garage.
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.
Biturbo power, to boost your emotions
A deep infusion of AMG racing know-how pumps up the AMG C 43's biturbo V6 muscle to 385 hp. Increased turbo boost, reduced friction and numerous internal fortifications add up to strong response, starting with a 0-60 rush of just 4.5 seconds. [3]
Nine speeds, geared for success
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 a shift paddle.
Biturbo V8s, always ready to rumble
Handcrafted biturbo V8s make the 469-hp C 63 and 503-hp C 63 S two of the most powerful sedans in their class, for 0-60 in as little as 3.8 seconds. The turbos are set inside the "hot V" of the engine, minimizing lag and losses to keep torque at a torrent. [3]
Turn the power up, then put it down
Absolute power is of little use unless you absolutely know how to use it. From the performance all-wheel drive of the C 43, to the electronic limited-slip differential in the rear-wheel C 63 and C 63 S, to the adaptive air suspension in them all, every AMG C-Class is equipped to turn torque into talent. [4] [5]
All-wheel drive, the AMG way
AMG Performance 4MATIC was developed to turn grip in to go without sacrificing the agility that AMG drivers cherish. With light weight and a 69% rear-axle torque bias, a C 43 delivers more assertive launches, crisper cornering, added confidence in the wet or winter, and admirable efficiency year-round. [5]
Many modes, for all your driving moods
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you alter the shifting behavior, throttle and steering feel, suspension damping and more by tapping a paddle on the console. Drive modes range from Comfort to Slippery to Sport+, plus an Individual mode you can configure for yourself. The C 63 S adds a track-tuned RACE mode. [4]
Air suspension, to keep you grounded
AMG RIDE CONTROL is an adaptive, multimode suspension that can turn pressurized air into poised agility. It lowers at speed. It responds in milliseconds to changing roads, loads, and the modes of AMG DYNAMIC SELECT. And while it clings hard in corners, it's easygoing on your everyday commute.
Power-matched brakes, to turn a clench into a cinch
AMG brakes are engineered to gain your confidence as they shed speed. Perforated discs and multipiston front calipers at least 14.2 inches in diameter help disperse the heat of the moment, in the moment. For extreme endurance, AMG Ceramic Composite front brakes are an exclusive C 63 S option. [6] [7]
In charge of change
Every control, instrument and surface in an AMG C-Class is designed to feel just right. A spectrum of finishes and seat options is only the start of making it personal. Ongoing options include a reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, and standard ambient lighting with 64 colors to choose and combine.
Perfect point of contact
The AMG Performance steering wheel features intuitive Touch Control Buttons and as many as five finish options, from full Nappa leather to accents of carbon fiber or DINAMICA microsuede. An available AMG DRIVE UNIT places one-touch driving controls with color displays right on the wheel.
Looks that get likes
A pair of styling packages accent your own sense of style. Jet-black elements add bold contrast from the front apron to the wheels to each model's distinctive quad tailpipes in the AMG Night Package. The side mirror housings and rear spoiler can also be rendered in genuine carbon fiber.
Massive in size, light in weight
AMG® wheels are substantial, stylish, and staggered in width. The C 43 and C 63 each feature 18-inch wheels standard, each model with its own design, plus as many as four 19-inch options available. The C 63 S wears standard 19s, or either of two 19-inch forged options it shares with the C 63. [8] [9] [10]
