The Mercedes-AMG C43 saloon has more than enough in its arsenal to entertain any local performance aficionado.
Forget the C63 saloon. The new Mercedes-AMG C43 four-door is better suited to Singapore roads.
The 3-litre bi-turbo V6 engine has been carried over from its predecessor, but it now sports larger turbochargers and maximum boost pressure has also risen – from 0.95 bar to 1.1 bar.
Gearchanges via the 9-speed automatic (also the same unit as the one used in the previous model) are also quicker, thanks to software tweaks. In Sport or Sport Plus mode, the gearbox responded with a textbook lesson on how fast, and direct, changing gears should be.
It also didn’t matter if the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters were used or the transmission was left to do the gear selection automatically. The result was always one and the same.
