Following the launch of the newly redesigned Sedan, the Mercedes-AMG C 43 Coupe and Cabriolet are set to receive their own extensive updates. Shared visual features are the twin-louver AMG radiator grille, muscular front bumper and new rear bumper with round twin tailpipe trim elements. The interior benefits from an optional fully digital cockpit with distinctive AMG displays and the new generation of steering wheels. The AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter V6 biturbo engine now delivers 385 hp, an increase of 23 hp. Together with the fast-reacting AMG SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9- speed sport transmission and rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive, it has been possible to further enhance the driving dynamics and agility. The redesigned 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 Coupe and Cabriolet will be celebrating their World Premiere at the New York International Auto Show in March 2018 and will go on sale in the U.S. by late 2018.

"With the new C 43 Coupe and Cabriolet, we offer our customers extensively upgraded, visually and technically distinctive entry-level options into the performance world of Mercedes-AMG," says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

With a host of carefully coordinated measures, the developers at AMG have further improved the driving dynamics. The AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter V6 engine now delivers 385 hp, 23 hp more than before. The peak torque of 384 lb-ft is available in a broad engine speed band from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm. The new C 43 Coupe accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds (est.), while the Cabriolet does the same in 4.6 seconds (est.); both improve on the 2018 model by 0.1 second (est.). The top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph.
