Mercedes-AMG took the excellent 2.0-liter turbocharged powerplant developed for the A-Class, rotated it by 90 degrees, and installed it into the engine bay of the C-Class, thus resulting in a performance-oriented compact sedan: the C 43.

Mercedes-AMG accelerated its way towards electrification and introduced the C63 S E Performance in both shapes, sedan and station wagon, in the autumn of 2022.

Mercedes-AMG introduced a facelift for the C43 lineup at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show and granted better performances for the premium German sedan.

After Mercedes-Benz decided to make the AMG a different brand, it renamed all of its AMG-based vehicles, and the former C450 AMG became C43.

Based on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205), the AMG C63 version was the top-performer of its range. It offered the highest power and the best technology to make a luxury car goes faster.
