The Next Best Thing: 2017 AMG® C43

Coupe, Sedan, Cabriolet

The Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe, Cabriolet, and Sedan share many of the same numbers, but they are not identical. They all come with a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine, but have slightly different exterior dimensions, affecting the 0-60 time and top speed of each body style.

Hot Inside V Engine

The C-Class shares more similarities to the Mercedes-AMG GT than any other vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz family. The biggest similarity is the “Hot Inside V” engine. This configuration of twin-turbocharging makes more power because the turbos are closer to the pistons. The C-Class and the GT are the only two vehicles in the world with engines like this.

Acceleration

Thanks to the powerful V8 under the hood, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 7-speed sport transmission under the floor, and the responsive pedal under your foot, the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe can accelerate from 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds. It is the fastest C-Class available for 2017 and is even more impressive at top speed.

Top Speed

With 503 horsepower, the C-Class can get its 3,803-pound self up to a top speed of 180 miles per hour. One hundred and eighty miles per hour. It’s basically a NASCAR that you drive on the street.

Price

The 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 S has a starting price of $75,000. For the price, you won’t find the same performance from any other vehicle, Mercedes-Benz or not. If you have any questions about this sleeper, come to Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale to take one for a test drive!
