2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe - Test Drive
Power comes from a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6, which produces 362 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 384 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm. Mated to a nine-speed automatic, the engine makes sweet noises and revs happily up to its 6500-rpm redline. Still, it’s not quite a true AMG engine—at least not to the extent of the specially developed, mostly Affalterbach-built "one-man-one-engine" powerhouses fitted into the traditional AMG models. But the powertrain has been modified to fit the sharper, more aggressive character of an AMG. It performs rev-matching downshifts and makes all the right noises, and in the fairly light C-class coupe, it’s strong enough to put a grin on your face. By AMG's conservative estimate, the sprint to 60 mph takes just 4.6 seconds; top speed is governed at 155 mph.
