C43 new engine for 2024
Part of the reason for the high price is Aus-spec Benz cars come extremely heavily optioned as base, pretty much the only things you can add to the 150k base model on the C43 is the AMG seats and carbon interior, which pushes price to 160k. Everything else (20" wheels, pano roof, night package, driver assists, digital lights etc.) all come standard. Also note that the 150k drive-away price includes over 35k in taxes - Australia puts brutal taxes on luxury cars (originally there to protect the domestic car market, but even though we no longer manufacture cars domestically and haven't for more than a decade, the taxes remain...)

I don't see any cars, even in Germany, listed at 310 kW at this time.

The only real difference between that engine and the M139L of the new W206 range is the hybrid turbo.
Maybe the 2024 model year does get a power bump but it might be understated on the 2023.
