The C43 was by far the most powerful car in its class, the C43 AMG can truly be considered a 4-door muscle car. New camshafts and free-breathing, large-diameter intake and exhaust systems increase the peak output to 302 horsepower.
APPEARANCE: The C43 is relatively stealthy for a high-performance car. Differences in appearance between it and the other C-Class cars are minimal. The 17-inch AMG alloy wheels are the most obvious, but are the same basic design as the 16-inch wheels that are part of the Sport Package available on the C280 and C230K. Deeper, more sculpted front and rear lower bumper fascias and matching rocker panels are not all that obvious. The "AMG" and "C43" badging on the trunk lid will be read only by accomplished speed readers. Other C-Class Benzes, however, do not have the twin chrome-tipped AMG-badged exhausts producing a deep V8 rumble.

COMFORT: The C43 does differ from the other C-Class members inside, again thanks to AMG. Special heated sports seats incorporating pneumatic lumbar, side, and thigh support, and the thick-rimmed, leather-covered steering wheel are designed for serious driving. This car has the two-tone, black and silver, interior color scheme, with silver inserts in the seating areas. They look and feel great. Black-on-white instruments with AMG badging are also unique to the C43. Other interior features are pretty much standard C-Class, including room for four adults and a large, useful trunk.

SAFETY: The C43 has the full complement of Mercedes-Benz safety equipment, including safety cage chassis construction, and front side air bags. Active safety is enhanced by strong antilock brakes with Brake Assist emergency stopping assistance, all-speed traction control, and ESP stability control.

ROADABILITY: Thanks to the very firm and well-controlled AMG-tuned suspension and monstrous contact patch of the 225/45 x 17"front and 245/40 x 17" rear tires, the C43 sticks to the pavement extremely well, with excellent handling characteristics. Powerful, short-wheelbase cars can be tricky to keep in control, but the C43 is stable and assured. Huge vented, antilock brakes at all four wheel sensors near-race car stopping ability. The C43 is not harsh or uncomfortable, and is as well-suited to a (quick) run to the grocery store as it is to performance driving.

PERFORMANCE: Although the 4.3-liter V8 is basically the same asthat used in other Benzes, internal modifications by AMG result in 302 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque. A near back-to-back comparison with the CLK430, which has the stock, 275-horsepower version of the same engine, was most enlightening. If the C43 has only 27 more horsepower, they're large horses. There is enormous power immediately, and it never fades. The 5-speed automatic transmission mitigates the power's effect when shifting, helping stability and undoubtedly prolonging tire life. The engine produces a most satisfying, muscular V8 roar.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
