It combines the power of a strong twin-turbo V6 engine with a high level of emotional expressiveness, and avails itself of the technical DNA of the new C 63.
The new sports models represent a convincing proposition for our customers: sports car technology and motor racing fascination become more attainable,” says Selvin Govender, Marketing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars.
The declared goal of MercedesBenz is making top-class safety available to everyone.
The C 43 4MATIC lives up to this standard as well because it adopts many of the new and significantly enhanced assistance systems that are also being used in the S-Class.
It comes standard-equipped with the further enhanced ATTENTION ASSIST fatigue detection system and COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, which helps prevent rear-end collisions. The assistance systems increase both comfort and safety.
