Four exhaust tips, one for each cylinder.
Although the “AMG Lite” version has been captured on camera many times, most of the camouflage is now gone. This is the sedan , with the wagon on the way. The trunk lid and bumpers are visible. It is almost impossible to see the entire vehicle, suggesting that an official premiere is just around the corner.
Also, the Panamericana grille and fake? are largely visible. ) air vents. The stiffer suspension setup makes it easy to identify the prototype as an AMG. The quad exhaust is a good sign. However, we will have to wait to see if there are actually four tips connecting to the finishers. The changes are made over a Benz-branded C-Class with chunky brakes and a subtle trunk spoiler.
The C63 will lose four cylinders while its smaller counterpart will only lose two. It is unclear what it will be called as there are contradicting reports. The one thing that is certain is that the entry-level AMG model will get a four-cylinder engine just like the W206-generation models.
We don’t expect the four-cylinder V6 twin-turbo to lose its 3.0-liter engine, but we do not think it will be any less powerful. The 2.0-liter M139 engine that is fitted to the A45S hot hatch makes 416 horsepower or 31 more than the C43. The larger engine is on its way to retirement packs 384 pound-feet (51 Nm) or 15 Lb-ft (221 Nm), more than the smaller one.
We expect Mercedes to unveil the C43/C53 in the next few months, if it is not already.
