C-Class [Official] Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe

[Merc1]

Any tests between this and the M4 yet?
It smokes it in looks though and especially the interior.
And i love the looks of the M4, i think its the best looking M3/4 ever.

But they did a number on BMW with this one, and it may possibly smoke it on the road as well.

Not yet, but I don't see the C43 being compared to the M4. It would have to be the C63 Coupe vs the M4.

WOW, maybe the C43 does qualify as a true AMG lol. Sounds like a nasty stock car from back in the day or a bolt action rifle.

Wow that V6 engine has a wonderful sound, AMG really have tuned it to sound perfecto.

 

[Mr Robert]

Very, very nice sound. They sure made it sporty enough.

Uggh guys, wtf... nothing against this car, but I want to disabuse this notion that fake crackles and pops make a car sound good.

A. It is childish and even sounds downright obnoxious.
B. It is not authentic in modern cars.
C. It is not so efficient.

Old race cars used to do it, cause they run very rich and when the driver is off throttle, the extra fuel would combust (wastefully) in the exhaust creating the crackles and pops. There is no real reason for that to happen in cars equipped with modern ECUs.

I think it sounds a little bit crass.

 

[Zafiro]

Loud but very annoying sound from times to time. I heard better engines from MB before.

 

[Wunderkind]

I think it sounds a little bit crass.

Agree, but I suspect that's what most customers would want from the engine and exhaust to sound.

I wonder what this says about the kind of customer then?

Some love what AMG is doing and some hate it. You cannot make everyone happy.

The C43 sounds pretty mean in this video.

The M4 seems to lose alot of speed gain above 260km/h, it battles to reach 300km/h, whereas the C63 acceleration never stops, it clocks an unbelievable 29.5sec to 300km/h.
