AMG-Sport is dead. C450 will now be AMG C43

Have you seen it in person? Our dealership had this color on one of their showroom vehicles, I think it was a GLE 63. It looked amazing in natural light. On a computer screen it's very underwhelming.

I can now confirmed that this information is not correct. There is definitely no button on the centre console to control the exhaust, that option is ONLY available on the C63. I spoke to someone that just drove the C43 coupe, and he said he didn't notice any difference with the sound of the exhaust, compared to the C450

I guess we'll have to wait and see. And I'm curious who did you speak to that drove the c43 and maybe they didn't have the performance exhaust option on their car hence why he didn't notice any difference or see an exhaust button.

C43 Specs and CLS63s
I have decided to transfer my August C43 delivery to my wife, a longtime lead foot. She had a C300 4matic on order, but opted for more power. In the meantime, I located a buyer for my GLA45, and found a very low mileage CPO CLS 63S and pulled the trigger. The C43 will probably be the better al around daily driver, but the 577hp/590 ft. Will be fun. Besides, on arrival, the ecu gets swapped for a Renntech version giving 699/730. I'm smiling

Curious...since I'm relatively new to MB (a convert from Audi and my current S5). Although I'm just about set to go in the direction of Obsidian black metallic for a C43...I happened to see on the road recently an S coupe in what I think was Diamond Silver metallic..Surprising when I looked at the inventory at two dealers for ANY MB in this color...none to be found - in over 300 cars . Am I missing something here...or is it that unpopular? Looked incredibly good and very rich on the S coupe (assuming it was Diamond Silver metallic)

Odd, because the first official C43 Coupe review clearly states that the coupes exhaust is much more aggressive than the cabriolet/sedan....and that is exclusive of any AMG Performanxe Exhaust option. He just said it sounds different bc it's the Coupe and Mercedes/AMG intended for it to. The same as the 63 Coupe is designed to be more aggressive sounding. So, odd that it sounds "the exact same" as the 450...given the Coupe sounding different thing alone. I trust the reviews, and I trust that an AMG performance exhaust that is an up charge (which you adamantly denied existing since day 1) comes with some type of a benefit...plus it's the same part number as the C63, so it'd be odd for it to be completely different. All that said, this is just speculation, we will find out for sure soon enough.

Well, all the videos I've seen online, does have the exhaust sounding more aggressive than the C450, I even post one a while back, so maybe my guy (a prominent dealer in Toronto) is just full of sh*t. There's no doubt though, that the C43 is an upgrade over the C450, on many levels

That button is not for the exhaust.. I remember reading something on another post that it was for something else but can't remember what it was.. I'll see if I can find the post
