So, Mercedes people are giving the green light to sales of the C450 or 45 AMG on the European market. Let us recall that the most uncompromising sports cars in the skin of a sedan and wagon bear the index C63 and C63 S. And the 'forty-fifth', which is discussed in the article, can be said to be aimed at those customers for whom the top AMGs are not yet affordable, or they simply do not want such uncompromising power, but at the same time they need something sportier and larger than the current C-class range.
This model has a more sophisticated suspension than the sportiest and most powerful stock C-class, but not as cool as the older AMG brothers. So, it has this assembly with adjustable shock absorbers, front tie rods, a fastening element and a couple of other parts from the front axle from the 'sixty-third'. Other features include 360-mm ventilated steel discs at the front and 320-mm at the rear. They are steel and 'shod' with eighteen-inch light alloy wheels. Tires on the 'super Mercedes' are 225/45 at the front and 245/40 at the rear.
Mercedes-Benz offers for this model a forced 'direct injection' engine with six cylinders of the M276 DE30 series, with a twin-turbo system and intercooler. In this variation it develops more than 333 horsepower (the regular version, which carries the index 400, depending on the version has 360-367 hp in the range from 5500 rpm to 6000 rpm). And 'eight-cylinder' 517-520 Nm of torque, which is available between engine speeds of 2000 rpm and 4200 rpm.
But this model has a clear advantage over the 63 monsters: it is all-wheel drive, which turns it into a sports car for year-round use! The 'supercharged' car transmits its traction to all wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes' proprietary all-wheel drive system '4Matic'. From zero to 100 km/h, the super sedan takes off in 4.9 seconds, and the 'wagon' in about five seconds. The top speed in both cases is limited, and is the typical 'electronic' 250 km/h.
The price for the Mercedes C450 AMG sport sedan will start at approximately 59,950 euros, and for the Estate at 61,600 euros.
