Mercedez Benz is itself a symbol of automotive luxury, but now they have targeted another niche. Now for 2016 Mercedes-Benz has a twist as they are introducing the new 2016 C450 AMG Sports car. The brand is positioning between the typical offerings and the high-performance sector.
If you’re confused about exactly what it is, the idea here according to Benz is, a sporty sedan offering performance between the C400 4Matic, the car that 450 replaces, and the mighty C63.
According to New York Daily, Mercedez Benz AMG is developing models that slot in between its standard luxury models and the hyper-fast AMG versions. The first of these is the sporty, sexy new 2016 C450 AMG 4Matic.
The C450 AMG resides above the four-cylinder-powered C300 and the wild V-8-powered Mercedes-AMG C63, and will replace the current C400 when it arrives this fall. In look and character, the C450 AMG is much closer to the C63 but is less thirsty and expensive.
The C450’s 3.0-liter twin turbo V6 develops 362 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque, and Benz says 60 mph should arrive in 4.9 seconds. The car has a lighter exhaust system and drive modes, comfort, sport, sport-plus and individual, adjust suspension, steering and powertrain including the 7G-Tronic transmission. The 4Matic all-wheel-drive system sends 33 percent of the engine power to the front axle, 67 percent rearward.
The interior is as outstanding as the C300, plus the AMG treatment adds sportier seats.
