Mercedes Teases Upcoming Four-Cylinder AMG C-Class

• Mercedes-AMG released a brief teaser video for the next C-class performance variant.

• It isn’t clear if its the C43 or C63, but given the subdued bodywork, the C43 seems more likely.

• Both the next C43 and C63 will come with a hybrid inline-four powertrain, instead of the current V-6 and V-8 setups.

Mercedes-AMG has given us the first taste of a hotter C-class variant, although it isn’t yet clear whether this new teaser video shows a C43 or the full-fledged C63. While the previous C63 packed a 503-horsepower twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine and the lesser C43 came with a still heady 385-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, we have known for some time that the new successors will instead utilize a hybridized inline-four setup.
