2023 C43 First Drive with Mr AMG! Less or More AMG than Before??

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Daily AMG that’s easy to Love! Welcome back to RBR and the new Generation of #AMG C Classes are now here! The top dog C63 will headline it, and we’ll talk about that later, but first we get to hear, drive and experience the new #C43 4Matic by #MercedesAMG out here in France!
For some background, the w202 was the first ever C Class model range, and the first AMG to be built at factory rather than reappropriated was the C43 AMG. Not like today’s entry levels of the same name, this was a 4.3 V8. The V8 tradition started here continued in the 55 that followed and then the 63s we all know - but the next 43 came a few gens later, in the 205. It had a V6 3.0 big turbo engine that was made by Mercedes Benz and a conventional non-AMG auto box. That was also found in numerous other non-AMGs. That engine did 362 BHP, 0-60 in around 4.7 seconds.
The Facelift gave 390bhp and more AMG DNA in terms of styling - AMG starting to take the 43s more seriously. But not that seriously. MB engine, mild adjustments to suspension, standard torque converter 9 speed!
With the 206, AMG changed everything, which means a much improved car over the standard C. Where most think the engine is a downgrade, the truth is it’s MORE AMG than ever. Yes the old one was a bigger V6, but it can be be found on tonnes of non-AMGs.
This C43 instead shares it’s engine with the A45S - the car that beat the compact car Nurburgring record with the world’s most powerful 4 cylinder engine! The C43 uses the M139L aka a Longitudinal mounted version of that A45 engine. This is also the first time we have had a “one man one engine” built unit in a C43, and this makes the car a full-fat AMG. Unlike the last 43, it only shares this engine with the SL43 and future C63.
This is the world's first engine to have an E-Turbo, or an electric exhaust gas turbocharger.
It’s tech straight out of the Mercedes-AMG ONE - there is a 4cm electric motor inside the turbocharger shaft between the turbine and compressor wheel which spools the turbos before the Exhaust gas ever has a chance too, making the engine way more responsive throughout all rev ranges! It also gets an additional 14HP from the RSG - belt starter generator.
It’s not hugely more powerful at 408BHP, less torque at 500NM and a quoted 0-60 of 4.6/7 - but we test it to be much faster!
Everything else is Furthermore, it gets the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping - managing damping at each wheel independently. It also has lightweight coil springs and stabiliser bars, a large Strut across the front suspension, and an aluminium sheer panel on the front - and the best bit, AMG variable ratio steering paired to rear axle steering of up to 2.5 degrees!!
Then we have the AMG 4Matic all wheel drive which is identical to the previous car. It has a a 31/69 rear biased split. It also gets the gearbox from the E63, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G with wet multi-disc clutch. Standard AMG Braking system, Carrie’s over as does the AMG Performance Exhaust system. With this you get more in the cabin with “AMG Real Performance Sound”, with actual engine sound from the exhaust system fed into the interior.
As for the NEXT 2023 C63 - I’m could have 670BHP from a P3 Hybrid system. I will explain how system works by adding an electric motor and performance batteries to the C43 set up, part developed by High Performance Powertrains (HPP) Formula 1.
But today is all about the C43: with the V6 gone, will it be entirely enough to be an AMG? Will the car also be dynamic enough given the weight of the W206? Let’s find out!

I was going to have it tuned, but I spend very little time at full throttle.I decided I did not need a tune. I took it on a1400 mile road that I spent at 80 mph or above and obtained almost 32 mpg! I love the car and this might be my next C43. I love the V6 and the torque it provides with the 9 speed. You said not to buy without the sport exhaust. I love my sport exhaust!

    Great review! But as with all of the newer german cars, we are getting robbed of all the nice things. The plastics are getting cheaper, screens are replacing physical controls, engines are getting smaller and less interesting, fake sound gets pumped in. Really a shame. I love the looks of the car, but this (lack of) sound, for a car that should spark the emotion, is pitiful. A45 sounds better, and that is all you need to know about it. I am sure f1 tech is making it a nice drive, but with a sound like that a more soul-less one indeed.

    This is Michael. I'm sure everyone appreciates the excellent videos you do and all of the extra work you put into them with multiple camera angles, special effects, Etc. Keep up the good work. As for the car I want to wait on the GLC 400 e plus, which we can't get in the US yet for some stupid reason . but in the meantime this looks attractive. As for the exhaust notes I would rather keep the Sport Plus mode but do WITHOUT the ridiculous pops and clicks. I know that's not popular from your other commenters, but most people don't like that . It is cheesy low end sound, more like a Dodge Hellcat than a Lambo or Ferrari. We're getting rid of our Tesla because the interior is archaic and Mercedes is leagues ahead with both the technology and the presentation of it. This car looks like a pleasure to drive. All of these car manufacture need to wake up. Plug in hybrids are the best way to go. You get instant torque with an additional powerful engine, no range anxiety, no infrastructure electric car charging station problems, fewer internal combustion engine problems because the electric engine is all you need for some usages. The GLC 400e Plus has the right idea and it needs to trickle into the sport coupes. I promise you it's the way of the future.

    I probably scooped up one of the last 2021 c63s's ever sold by a Mercedes dealership at the beginning of this year, and it is hands down by far the best car I've ever driven. I wasn't sure if they would even bring back the c63 after the 2022 lineup dropped, but given the fact that the 2023 has dropped down to a v4 makes just me feel that much more excited to have gotten my hands on the last V8 c63. Last weekend I drove from the far northwest corner of FL all the way to Miami in race mode probably averaged 100 the entire way down. Even if you're going 90 and you need to pass someone the acceleration is insane. The roar when you hit it is freaking addicting, I literally passed hundreds if not thousands of people on the way down and every single time its a rush. On straightaways when you have an open lane in front of you it will go 100 to 140 in like two seconds; and even then the car isn't shaking or unsteady even a tiny bit. It felt rock solid steady taking curves at 110. I just feel like the v4 version won't have the high end acceleration that the V8 has, which is really the best part when you're cruising down the interstate at high speeds. Or idk, maybe that's the second best part after the way it sounds. Either way I'm beyond happy to have this car and I think it could turn into an all time classic if it does end up being the last V8.

Thanks very much for addressing this vs BMW 340/440i debate I asked about earlier in c43 'teaser' - was thinking which to get for daily, but I dont like 440i looks (m3/m4 comp looks bonkers, but its way too stiff - there is no way to drive it daily). Im sold on the car, if you say its so agile and it comes from 992 GTS owner - you got my trust. Cheers.

    As a GLC 63 AMG V8, I find it hard to believe that I would go to a 63 with a 4 cylinder engine. Even if they add another electric turbo or anything, the 63 should have stayed with V8. Emissions? Wouldn’t a hybrid with 2 electric engines and a naturally aspirated V8 last longer as well as with less emissions? The fact that cars have to be ‘repaired’ more and parts have to be replaced, isn’t that in itself bad for emissions? Just my opinion.

    I don’t think Mercedes understands the buyer for this segment anymore. We don’t mind filling up on premium gas and getting 20 MPG when it comes with a V8 and performance. I think these models will prove to be extremely unreliable as they age just too much tech going on way too much involvement for any quick fixes. This thing weighs over 4000 lbs too cause of the hybrid system.

    This new electric turbo engine is really interesting but consider that this car with a 2L 4 cylinder engine weighs almost 1700 kgs. Is this because of that very large turbo, extra weight to strengthen the engine block because of very high boost pressures and the lithium ion battery back that is a part of this electric turbo? A 3L twin turbo V6 would weigh virtually the same, giving the same if not more power and torque and being far less stressed of an engine. It wouldn't have significantly more turbo lag and it wouldn't have the battery pack of the electric turbo that eventually loses capacity like a smartphone. Also, this new electric turbocharger will surely experience much shorter life due to the turbo always spinning at high rpm from the integrated electric motor. I just think the standard twin turbo V6 is overall a much better option. This F1 inspired tech is great there where an engine only lasts one race. When Maserati were looking to develop their MC20, they looked into this electric turbo and concluded that it was not reliable and overly complex with added weight. Their F1 tech adoption I think is far superior-the pre chamber system. Whilst I admire the performance and dynamics of this new AMG C43, it's definately not a car you would want to buy in 5 yrs out of warranty.
