AMG Performance Studio Package for the Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe and Cabriolet
The AMG Performance Studio Package for the AMG C43 Coupe and Cabriolet boasts numerous black details throughout the interior and the exterior of the car. For the first time, the C43 Cabriolet is available with black exterior details. The diamond radiator grille sports black pins instead of the usual chrome, and the trim strips on the front splitter, on the rear bumper, side skirts, trunk lid spoiler and tailpipe trim elements are all painted black.
The overall impression is further enhanced by 19-inch multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, which are painted in matte black for the first time and feature high-sheen rim flanges as a striking contrast.
The AMG Performance Studio Package continues in the interior. The rim of the Performance steering wheel, in nappa leather/DINAMICA microfiber, with its flattened bottom section is also black.
