You can with a six-cylinder engine is the same as with the achtcilinder, or is this degradation of the AMG badge?
Let us stress that the C43 AMG Coupe has potential. It is certainly not only the AMG badge on it screwed. With its 3.0-litre V6 with double turbo has ie a healthy 367 hp and 540 Nm of torque. Fast enough for 99% of the people, but this is still an AMG badge worth it, or is this mainly a marketing exercise? Time to make the comparison with its bigger brother.
For clarity: the top one is the C63.
The specs
It could be that the V6 in the C43 AMG Coupe (hereinafter referred to as: C43) do it, but he continues to hang out at 367 hp. It is, of course, that he doesn’t get too close to the should come from the C63 AMG. Nevertheless, the chassis of the C43 has its origins in that of the C63, although the C43 slightly more comfortable, has to be adjusted. He will also be more sharing components with the “normal” C-class coupé. The full comparison below in the table:

The appearance
It is searching the details, but they are sure to find. The C43 has slightly better components in the color of the bodywork, making it a less aggressive appearance. Also, is the C63 a bit wider and she hangs closer to the ground. Also the grill is different between them. The one will the details be decisive, the other will see little difference.
The badge worth it?
That is there to. It is again a model that exactly one hole is filling. Audi is highly successful with its S and RS models, but you have now also AMG and AMG S. The C43 will be very fast and quite sporty to drive, but goes in terms of road handling is not that of a “real” AMG seem. It seems that this is mostly driving around with the looks of an AMG, and therefore a marketing move. So, you can soon be driving around in a “normal” C-coupé with the price of a C63 AMG.
