Here's some perspective on AMG
Nov 26, 2017,13:01 PM
AMG has traditionally operated as a separate division. Tuning showroom-specification cars. For aggressive drivers who hate to be cut off by Ferraris or turbo Porsche.
The penalty is the ride comfort...
"The spectrum of coupe personalities ranges from touring to beastly, and the best often sit somewhere in the middle, blending an engaging driving experience with relative comfort. In theory, then, the Mercedes-AMG C43 should be the gold standard. The 362-hp two-door straddles the line between the mad-dog, 469-hp Mercedes-AMG C63 and the more mundane 241-hp Mercedes-Benz C300 coupe. In practice, though, the Mercedes-AMG C43 is more like the silver standard: It’s quick and enthralling to pilot on twisty tarmac, but its firm suspension makes for an uncomfortable ride on all but the smoothest surfaces."

The bigger issue is safety. A C63 is limited to 250 kmph. Unlimited, the top is 290 kmph. The car will charge up to 200 and gallop on to 250. Are these the right cars for you?
