The V6 sends the power to all four wheels via the 4MATIC system that has a rear-biased setup (31:69). The E43 sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, but sadly its top speed is electronically-limited to 155 mph. The E43 also gets an air suspension with three modes (Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus) and a special steering system with two modes (Comfort or Sport).

To stand out from the rest of the E-Class lineup, the E43 gets unique wheels, a chrome-plated quad-tipped exhaust system and a unique body kit.
The E43 is going to debut this month at the 2016 New York Auto Show, but it won’t arrive in the U.S. until early 2017.
