Today I am introducing a really special car. My 1999 Mercedes C43 AMG also known as The Pocket Rocket.

AMG was a company which started in 1967 by 2 Germany engineers. They use to bump up the horse power, add flares, add wider tires, and enhance the over all performance of the car. Both these engineer were working on 300SE engine in development department when Daimler-Benz shut down all motor sports activities. After that these 2 engineers left Mercedes and started there own company that we now know as AMG and built the legendary 300SEL 6.8 litre also known as The Pig, that was the champion in its class and won 2nd over all in 24 hours of Spa race in 1971. After that both those engineers got peoples attention, and the super rich that wanted to show off there wealth would buy Mercedes E class, SE, And SL and take it to AMG to make it a performance vehicle. They would become rare and special cars. The reason why C43 is special is because it was the second model after the C36 AMG with AMG upgrade from Mercedes dealership directly. The C43 is a milestone car because it was a joined venture, and is the first C class with a V8. The C43 is ultra rare, because Canada only received 158 in year 1998 and 1999. The Mercedes C43 has 307 HP, does 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds even though I know it does it faster that I will time and show in the driving section. It has a 5 speed auto transmission. The engine of the C43 is naturally aspirated V8 with a lot of torque that revs up to 7000 rpm, and the torque is available right away with zero lag. The C43 has a upgraded suspension then a normal w202. AMG exhaust, flared fender, and ungraded sway bar. It is also nick named the Pocket Rocket, because when Mercedes released this car people were surprised how did Mercedes install such a big engine is such a small sedan.



Another unique feature of the car is that it came with staggered monoblocks. Monoblock means that the wheel was formed by one piece of aluminium, and straggered means the rear wheel lip is deeper then the front lip.



Good examples of these cars started to go up in value. At one point they were cheap car people bought them, and drove them to extinction that is why they aren’t many good examples left. But now they are catching collectors and car enthusiasts attention. The value has gone up, and is still rising. Mind you, this is only true for the cars that are well kept and low in km. Another great thing about these cars is that they do not need a lot of maintenance these engine are built to last. To keep the car in top mechanical condition the only thing you need to be mindful of the transmission fluid. That must be changed regularly.



Lastly if you find a low km nice Mercedes C43 buy it, they are worth the investment, rising in value, collectable, history important, and a pleasure to drive. This little Mercedes C43 AMG ticks all the right boxes.
