According to the performance version of the GLC in the spring brings Mercedes-AMG also launched a more powerful variant of the coupé offshoot in December. The GLC 43 4matic Coupé is also powered by the six-cylinder biturbo engine with 3,0 liter displacement and 270 kW / 367 PS, the maximum torque is 520 Newton meters.
Like the mid-range SUV, the version with the sloping rear part completes the sprint to 100 km / h in 4,9 seconds, with 250 km / h it is electronically limited. With reduced shift times, the 9 automatic gearbox is specially tailored to the sports model. The sports suspension, the rear-emphasized all-wheel drive and the sports steering, developed independently on the basis of the air suspension, should also contribute to greater agility.
AMG designers have adapted the look especially at the front and rear, including with new front apron and splitters, chrome-plated tailpipe trims, new rear apron and various details in high-gloss black and silver chrome. The SUV coupe stands on high-gloss black painted and high-sheen 19-inch alloy wheels. The interior is dominated by the color combination of black and red, supplemented with trim strips in aluminum.
The GLC 43 4matic Coupé premiered at the Paris Motor Show in late September. Mercedes-AMG has not yet communicated a price. The GLC 43 4matic costs at least 61.761 Euro. Based on the regular price gap between the GLC and GLC Coupé, the most powerful version of the GLC Coupé could cost around 66.000 euros. (Hanne Schweitzer / SP-X)
