The all-new Mercedes AMG E43 has made its world debut at this year’s New York Auto Show.
Elegant and classy, the E43 sports a stylish exterior that looks very much like the rest of the AMG family, aside from some unique features. That includes two cross fins on the outer cooling openings, a diamond grille with chromed pins and a louver in high-gloss black.
The AMG E43 sits atop four 19-inch five-spoke light-alloy wheels also painted in high-gloss black. The rear also features two chrome-plated quad-flow exhaust tailpipes, while the rear diffusor is silver chrome.
Inside, you may notice the seats are more comfortable than the previous model’s thanks to improved lateral support. The seats also feature a distinctive red topstitching and to match, the door centre panels and dashboard are finished in the same stitching. Plus: no more boring black or grey seatbelt for this badass! Red seat belts all the way.
The four-door sedan will offer a 3.0-liter V6 Biturbo engine, delivering an output of 396 horsepower with 384 lb.-ft of torque. It is paired with a 9G-tronic automatic transmission which offers a manual mode using paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The AMG E43 also offers a few transmission modes, including Ego, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual.
This beauty will hit U.S. dealerships by early 2017.
