Mercedes AMG C 43 to launch in India on December 14

Mercedes-Benz will be launching the AMG C 43 in India on December 14, 2016 at the Buddh International Circuit. This will be the company's thirteenth and final Indian launch this year. The automaker had earlier announced that it will be launching 12 cars in India this year. However, at the launch of the facelifted CLA last week, Mercedes confirmed that there was one more launch coming in before the year ends. The AMG C 43 is also the third AMG car of the year after AMG GLE 43 Coupe and AMG SLC 43.

The Mercedes AMG C 43 will essentially be a performance-oriented iteration of the C-Class sedan. The German automaker already sells the AMG C 63 S in India, in addition to the C 200 and the C 250d. The AMG C 43 is expected to be introduced between the C 200 and the AMG C 63 S.

Powering the Mercedes-AMG C 43 is a 3.0-litre bi-turbo V6 engine that churns out 362 BHP and 570 Nm of torque, while being mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It also comes with Mercedes' 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.
