Mercedes launches new GLC 43 AMG Coupé

Just like other 43 AMG badged versions, the GLC 43 4Matic Coupé will be powered by the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6 with 367hp and 520Nm of torque. Thanks to the powertrain it can sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 250km/h. Fuel consumption figures indicate 8.4l/100km (combined) with CO2 emissions of 192g/km.

 

AMG has fitted the new version with its tweaked all-wheel drive as well as Mercedes'  9G-Tronic automatic gearbox with shortened shift times. It can be operated in both automatic and manual setups. There are also five drive modes to choose from: Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. Each mode means the engine, gearbox, speed-sensitive steering and suspension are specifically calibrated for different driving options. This also includes cylinder shut-off and start-stop technology.

 

In terms of exterior design the GLC 43 4Matic Coupé gets the same AMG treatment as other models, including quad exhaust tips, sporting bodywork and styling and 19in twin-spoke alloy wheels. Inside the car has been covered in black leather, with red accents, with some aluminium details. The multifunction steering wheel also features the same combination.

 

The infotainment system includes a 7.0in touch screen with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, as well as a race timer included in its functions.
