When the current generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class made its debut, almost everyone was disappointed by the news there won’t be engines with more than four cylinders. Even the range-topping AMG-developed C43 and C63 models have electrified 2.0-liter inline-four mills under the hood. That doesn’t mean they are slow, however, and a new video shows us the less powerful model in action on the Autobahn.
Let’s start with a quick reminder of the most important numbers. The C43 AMG has the said 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in a variant with 402 horsepower (296 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters). The power reaches all four wheels and in this wagon version, it is enough for a sprint from a standstill to 62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) in just 4.7 seconds. The top speed with the optional AMG Driver's Package is 165 mph (265 kph) – but can it actually achieve it?
