Mercedes-AMG C43
Black · Black interior · Gloss
The current C43 is the strangest engineering story in the fleet: a four-cylinder AMG, helped along by an electric turbocharger developed out of Formula 1 work. It drives tighter and angrier than the C-Class it is based on, with all-wheel drive to keep the effort tidy. Black on black, so it stays quiet until you use it.
