Despite Being a V6, the New C43 AMG Sounds Great



The C43 AMG exhaust tone may not be as visceral as its V8 brethren, but you won't be mistaking it for a Camry any time soon.

Agreed, while I would obviously prefer the sound of the V8 C63S, the C43 sounds pretty damn amazing for a V6 that costs $20-30K less (and for those of us who require AWD).

It's up there with the F-Type V6 and way better than the B8 and new B9 S4 V6.

And I would honestly say all of the above sound leaps and bounds better than the S55 in the M3/M4 -- even though the N55 and B58 sound significantly better than its older brother.

Also agree.

Pretty much all V6's (unlike IL6's) sound good depending on the exhaust system installed, obviously in this case AMG have gone to great lengths to make sure theirs sounds as good as it does

Good thing that guy has his driving gloves on. Add some white sunglasses and we have a full doofus alert going on there.

I fear nothing, including steering wheel slippage during rush hour stop and go traffic. I live a life of danger.

Not petty.

I going for a warranty claim because some of the visor material looks slightly bubbling.
