Was the name AMG is formerly a guarantee for the fastest of the fastest, now they come up with a model under the real AMG C 63. The C 450 is for the cat and gives the Audi S4 nightmares.
Recently changed the name of Mercedes’ fastest models, the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG was the Mercedes-AMG C 63. Now we know why: under this thick achtcilinder is now a new model: the C 450 AMG 4MATIC. Under the hood lies a 3-liter V6 with two turbos, combined with permanent all-wheel drive (something you never in the C 63 will find). Ondersteltechnologie is, according to Mercedes from the AMG C 63 and also the appearance similarities. On the front you can see the difference especially on the grille, the C 450 AMG is a silver dot pattern with full black mesh in the grille of the C 63. In addition is the C 63 still a little bit lower and it also has two additional creases on the hood walk. Below, left is the C 450 and to the right of the C 63.
Nice, that technical talk, but what can such a just-non-AMG? The drieliterblok kicks the to 367 hp and 520 nm of torque. Thus you can obtain an electronically-limited top of 250 km per hour, from 0 to 100 raffelt, the C-450 in 4,9 seconds, or a tenth of a tel more in the case of the Estate. To a manual gearbox, you ask in vain, the C 450 AMG is only available with the 7G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission.
Thus outclassed the C 450 AMG, the Audi S4 Quattro on all fronts. This squeezes namely 333 hp and 440 nm from a 3-liter V6. Not surprisingly, also takes the S4 to the electronically-limited top of 250 km/h, the sprint to 100 is the S4 sedan in 5.0 seconds. We are especially curious to know the price of the C 450 AMG, Audi has the S4 for just under 70 mille in the price list and it’s the turn of Mercedes to not too much above. Then the current A4 -and S4 – it’s on its last legs, in september at the IAA the next generation presented. Then picks up Audi the glove undoubtedly back on and we get a nice fight in the sub-top of the fast-jongenssegment. What are they allowed on your driveway for parking?
