4 THE LOVE

Where does the hottest automotive tech originate and undergo rigorous testing? It all starts with a genius and his notebook, yes, but the real proving ground is the realm of motorsports before these innovations make their way into everyday road cars.

Dual-clutch automatics, start/stop buttons, performance tires, forced air intake, carbon fiber parts, and meticulous aerodynamics—all shaped on the track. So when Mercedes proudly claims that the C43 AMG embodies their motorsport learnings, enthusiasts take notice.

The turbocharger emerges as the hero in this performance narrative. Given the C43’s modest two-liter engine, forced induction is the secret sauce behind its astronomical performance figures. Enter the electrified turbocharger, a genuine game-changer. This isn’t a trinket on a keychain; it’s a powerhouse that eliminates initial turbo lag, ensuring the C43 catapults forward with a seamless, linear acceleration. The exhaust gases take over as the revs climb, delivering the thrill of speed that car enthusiasts crave.
