Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Performance Overview
Positioned as the short-run AMG-badged performance version of the C-Class, the Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG was sold for 2016 to 2016 and is documented here across 3 verified tests. All recorded results fall within the W205 generation, where the model paired a 362-hp M276 twin-turbo V6 with a gasoline-only powertrain and sedan body style. In period testing, the C450 AMG established a narrow but consistent performance window, with 0-60 times ranging from 4.4 to 4.5 seconds and quarter-mile results clustering around 13.0 seconds.
Chronologically, its single recorded model year also contains its key benchmark. The quickest verified launch came from the 2016 Sedan at 4.4 seconds to 60 mph, a run backed up by the line’s best quarter-mile of 12.9 seconds at 109 mph. Other 2016 Sedan tests recorded 4.5 seconds to 60 mph and quarter-mile times averaging 13.0 seconds at 108.2 mph, underscoring how tightly grouped the car’s real-world results were.
That leaves the C450 AMG today as a one-year, gasoline-only W205 data set with a current-generation best of 4.4 seconds to 60 mph, representing the full span of independently verified testing for the badge.
