Newly amped-up C-Class begins AMG’s transition to electrified four-cylinder power
The Mercedes-AMG C63 grabbed all the headlines for trading its V8 for a four-cylinder, but the C-Class saw a cull of large-capacity engines further down the range too. The Mercedes-AMG C43 preceded the 63 in adopting a four-pot.We’ve had four-cylinder Mercedes-AMG models since the launch of the A45 in 2013 and, heading further back, rear-driven four-pot performance Mercedes-Benz saloons in the stylish forms of the 190E 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 in the 1980s.But those had the advantage of being something new, rather than having to follow in the tyre tracks of six-cylinder-powered predecessors.
