While the actual study was modeled to offer a glimpse into the next
generation A-Class Sedan, Russian graphic designer Aksyonov Nikita took
advantage of the four-door concept to create a convertible.
Posted on Behance, the renderings looks pretty cool,
especially with that Panamericana grille taking center stage on the car's
aggressive front end. Don't be quick to dismiss the idea as an artist's vision,
as there have been reports of Mercedes contemplating the expansion of the next
A-Class with a cabriolet.
The vehicle would
challenge the open-top versions of the Audi A3 and BMW 2-Series, using the same
underpinnings as its fixed roof sibling. Of course, it would also come with an
identical engine lineup, including an AMG A45 variant, in the same vein as the
next-gen hatch that will reportedly have over 400 horses under its hood.
