    Next Mercedes-AMG C43 Could Be Called C45

    All the focus is currently on the next Mercedes-AMG C63 but what about the very popular ‘lite’ version we know as the C43?

    This less powerful variant has been spotted testing in the South of Europe and there seem to be some conflicting reports regarding the model’s name, with some saying it will stick to the C43 badge while others claim it’ll be aligned to the 53 monikers used by the E53. Plot twist – Auto Bild argues the name will be C45.

    Whatever they decide to call it, it will sport the round exhaust tips, less aggressive AMG styling, slightly smaller wheels and some faux front air intakes.

    The new C45 will also be powered by the four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbocharged unit from the A45 but without the rear-mounted electric motor reserved for the C63. It’s unclear whether the combustion engine will benefit from the electric turbocharger developed originally for the AMG One hypercar or if the tech will be limited to the C63.

    If they stick to the combustion engine with the electric turbocharger, the system can push out as much as 442 hp (330 kW) which is a bunch more than the 385 hp (287 kW) the current C43 delivers from the twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6.

    We’re expecting the C45 to debut first, likely early next year, with the C63 to arrive later in 2022.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
