As one of the first naturally aspirated AMG V8s, the W202-generation C43 represents an important milestone in Mercedes-Benz history, and combines a muscular and sonorous engine with timelessly elegant Bruno Sacco-designed bodywork. The car was manufactured for a little more than two years – from the end of 1997 to the spring of 2000 for a total of 4,200 units 20% of which are estates and 80% saloons. As the ultimate version, the C43 AMG was the first C-class in the Mercedes range ever to be equipped with a V8.

Our first-generation W202 C43 AMG “T” is an exclusive collector’s treasure, one of only two models privileged to be equipped with the breathtaking Brabus 5.8L V8. This powerhouse was born in the heart of the Brabus engineering room, where it was thoroughly transformed. The engine features a modified block, a redesigned crankshaft for extended stroke and enlarged pistons, precision machined cylinders and custom camshafts. A masterfully re-engineered engine that effortlessly catapults this car to mind-blowing speeds over 290 km/h

The optional green black metallic paintwork on this car is immaculate, with no stone chips or scratches and a brilliant shine. Adding to its overall elegance are the exclusive Brabus wheels, which are in exceptional condition, reflecting the car's thorough maintenance. The interior is a luxurious blend of silver and black, a signature AMG design, further enhanced by distinctive Brabus accents such as the finely crafted silver rev counter. The seats themselves are a reflection of the car's immaculate condition, free of any wrinkles or cracks, and the silver detailing retains its original vibrant color, showing no signs of wear or soiling.

Settle into the driver's seat and prepare for a truly dynamic drive. This car isn't just about getting from point A to point B. The handling is effortless, the ride secure and confident. You'll instantly recognize the Mercedes hallmark of quality: no rattles, no extraneous noises, just the serene calm of a well-crafted cabin. It's an absolute joy for daily driving, seamlessly blending comfort with utility. But don't be fooled by its unassuming ease – this car hides a thrilling secret. The moment you press the accelerator and switch the automatic transmission to sport mode, it transforms. You're now at the helm of a dynamic beast, packed with immense torque that keeps propelling you forward. The 5-speed automatic transmission responds with lightning-fast, precise shifts. As you take the curves, the car grips the road with such agility, you'll forget you're driving a spacious 5-passenger estate. This vehicle stands in a league of its own, boasting a groundbreaking 400hp engine that sets it apart from its peers. Coupled with an astounding 579Nm of torque, Brabus has essentially engineered a missile on wheels. For utmost safety and performance, the braking system is sourced directly from the AMG racing program, ensuring unparalleled stopping power.
