Shortly after the release of the new generation of SL models, Mercedes-AMG added an SL 43 model in early April 2022, the most important difference being that the SL 43 was not powered by a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder engine, but replaced by a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with 48V power technology; Mercedes-AMG also launched the first member of the Mercedes-AMG C-Class series in late April: C 43 4Matic, With the same rhythm as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class when it was launched, the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic Estate was revealed at the same time.
Recently mentioned in the Mercedes-AMG preview of new products related to the report, in line with the development of electric power technology and environmental protection regulations, Mercedes-AMG, as a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz performance, is facing a significant adjustment of the timing of product planning, including 53 models that launched pure electric performance works in the EQS and EQE car series, 43 models with engines to reduce exhaust capacity in the SL car series, and what will be the setting of the subsequent 63 models. It's even more exciting.
Unlike the SL 43's rear-wheel drive setup, Mercedes-AMG's C 43 performance for the C-Class, including sedans and station wagons, is equipped with a 4Matic all-wheel drive system as standard, and a 2.0-litre straight 4 turbo engine codenamed M139l, with electronic turbo technology, and the power data performance is 408 maximum horsepower and 500 nm. m maximum torque, 48V system start motor generator (belt driven) can add 14 hp.
According to the original factory information, the C 43 4Matic combination of power systems allows the C 43 4Matic to complete the acceleration from stationary to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, and the C 43 4Matic Estate can be completed in 4.7 seconds, and the two new Mercedes-AMG speeds are both electronically limited to 250 km/h, and can reach a speed of 265 km/h when unlocked. It is worth noting that with the 43 model changed to a 2.0-liter engine with a 48V technology setting, it seems that the pace of NGCC's combat strength to introduce 48V technology is approaching.
Mercedes-AMG launched 43, 53, 35 and other models, is between the general model and Mercedes-AMG 63 and 45 models, so the interior and exterior styling settings are closer to the general model, that is, there is no pure AMG model so racing and sports as the main starting point, such a setting is still maintained on the new generation of Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic and C 43 4Matic Estate.
Compared with the general model, the C 43 is replaced by a straight-grid water tank guard, which also has an AMG nameplate, and the side fenders have Turbo and Electrified emblems, showing the important identification of the C 43 different from the general C-Class model; the difference between the rear part of the car is to echo the original intention of the sporty product, replaced by the exhaust tailpipe configuration of the left and right 2. Another more important technological feature is the introduction of a rear axle steering system, which greatly contributes to handling performance and convenience.
The configuration in the cabin space is also the introduction of many "AMG" sports car elements, the most obvious is the flat bottom sports car steering wheel, with a double-ribbed multi-function steering wheel setting, and the lower edge of the two sides of the spoke has a circular knob of AMG Dynamic Select, and the sports features are more obviously set off. In addition to the steering wheel, the highly encapsulated sport seats, with neck vents and AMG emblem design, echo the C 43 performance-oriented product settings.
