Mercedes is introducing its "sport" series performance vehicles, with "43" naming, as a half step between its regular series vehicles and the all-out performance AMG vehicles, which bear a "63" in their names. It is both a business opportunity and a chance to attract more buyers with more emotional vehicles, Kaellenius says.

"We then saw that between the series car and the out-and-out performance car, there was a segment in between, kind of a wide spot that was missing. That's where the sports models with the 43 come in the picture."

He says the AMG 63s are the choice "if you're a full-blown track person. ... If you're the Nordschliefe, the north loop, type of person," referring to the legendary Nurburgring racetrack in Germany's Eifel Mountains.

Kaellenius staunchly says a regular Mercedes could handle the track, but, he adds, with a streak of car guy showing through, "Depending on what lap time you're looking for, if you're looking for a sub-8-minute Nordschliefe (sic), you'd go with a 63."

Dans l'absolue je suis d'accords, mais ne risque t'il pas d'y avoir cannibalisation entre 43 et 63 vu le gap au niveau tarif? Plus ou moins 23k euros. Je dis ça parce que les C43/C450 AMG j'en vois à la pelle depuis la sortie du modèle...
