Vehicle Overview

The 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG is a distinctive performance-oriented hatchback that combines compact dimensions with a large-capacity V8 petrol engine. Its 4.3-litre unit produces a listed 225 kW and 410 Nm, giving the car a characterful mechanical foundation that sets it apart from more conventional small hatchbacks of the period.

Power is delivered through an automatic transmission to the rear wheels. That rear-drive layout, together with the V8 specification, gives the C43 a configuration suited to drivers who value traditional performance-car engineering and a more engaging relationship with the car. The automatic gearbox also makes it straightforward to use in everyday traffic, while the compact 4,520 mm length remains manageable for urban driving and parking.

The silver exterior and black interior create a restrained, period-appropriate combination. Practicality is supported by the five-door hatchback body, five seats and foldable rear seat, allowing the cabin to adapt when carrying larger items. Air conditioning, power windows and a sunroof add everyday convenience, while the rear wiper, fog lights, UV glass and toned glass contribute to usability across changing weather and light conditions.

Safety equipment includes airbags, anti-lock braking, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, with anti-theft protection and child-seat anchoring also listed. These features provide useful reassurance in a vehicle whose appeal rests primarily on its unusual engine and drivetrain combination, without losing sight of the practical requirements of regular road use.

The odometer displays 69,542 km. The vehicle is listed with six months of NSW registration, a fresh roadworthy certificate and CTP insurance. Its documented specification includes a 62-litre fuel tank and a combined fuel-consumption figure of 11.7 L/100km, while the available equipment and dimensions underline its balance between performance intent and hatchback functionality.
