Mercedes-Benz C-Class C43 AMG 4.3 C43 AMG 5d 306 BHP **12 MONTH RAC WARRANTY**

Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Estate 4.3 Petrol V8 Automatic (306bhp). Finished in Brilliant silver with full black leather upholstery. The Mercedes-Benz W202 C43 AMG was in production from 1997 until 2000. Styled in house by Olivier Boulay, it is a front-engine, rear wheel drive estate seating five adults. The C43 AMG was based on the standard W202 C-class, though fitted with the V8 from the range topping E class model, the E430. As well as this engine, the C43 featured upgrades including larger wheels and lower, stiffer suspension. The first small AMG saloon to be sold via dealers, it can be seen a precursor to today's hard-hitting AMG C classes, and cars such as the Black Edition C63 of the 2010s. When saloon production ended in 2000, the C43 AMG was replaced by the V6 supercharged C32 AMG. All C43s use Mercedes' M113 series V8 with three valves per cylinder, in 4.3 litre guise. All used Mercedes' in house automatic gearbox, also used in standard W202 models. This engine is shared with the larger E class and S class models, as well as the CLK430 coupe and ML430 SUV. Unsurprisingly, the C43 feels like a sharper, stiffer, faster C280, with a throatier engine note – it still retains the precise Mercedes steering, and the chassis which is far more accurate than rivals at BMW would be happy about. The ride is better than you'd expect – it's as if it's a Mercedes first and a sports estate second, but still competent in the corners with it.
