Let me ask you a question. What's one less than 63? It's **t 62 — if you're going by Mercedes math, that is. **, apparently the answer is 43. As in, the new C43 Coupe, which is the all-new moniker for the performance C-Class Coupe positioned just below the C63 Coupe.
Confused? Well, I hate to tell you, we're **t in the clear just yet. But before I dig into the confounding nitty-gritty, let's first look at this new coupe's details.

Underneath the all-new C-Class Coupe body lies a 3.0-liter V6 Biturbo (German code for twin turbocharged) engine tuned by AMG, Mercedes' performance arm. As a result of its special performance treatment, it produces 362 horsepower and 382 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed to all four wheels through an AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive system by way of the new 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission shared with the 2017 SL-Class. As a result, the C43 Coupe will do 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/02/23/2017-mercedes-amg-c43-coupe/)
