The option for discerning businessman desiring for a family vehicle and an office-on-wheels into one. As it's next in passing year, the German carmaker has launched something smaller, quicker and more exciting not only in terms of appearance but also in performance-the Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupé, which is priced at INR 75 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Launched in 2016, the Mercedes AMG C43 Sedan received a few customers. The facelift for the C-class was already available in the market that's why the automaker launched the updated C-class sedan and Cabriolet last year. Now the manufacturer prioritizes the launch of the C43 Coupe instead of the C43 Sedan facelift.
Similar to other AMGs available in the market, one of the major highlights of the C43 Coupe lies under the bonnet that is its powertrain. The C43 Coupe gets power from a more powerful 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 trim. The same unit performs propelling duties on other 43 series models. The motor is rated to develop an increased power of 390hp (up from 367hp in the pre-facelift model) and 520Nm of peak torque. It makes the C43 Coupe to reach 100 kmph from standstill position in just 4.7 seconds and attaining the top speed of 250kmph that's electronically limited.
