The 2019 Mercedes-AMG A45 is taking shape as spy
photographers have snapped the model pulling into the company's testing center
at the Nürburgring.
Dressed in heavy camouflage, the high-performance
model follows in the footsteps of the standard A-Class but is distinguished by
a sporty front fascia which features a Panamericana grille. The aggressive
styling continues further back as the hatchback has new side skirts, a reduce
ride height, and lightweight alloy wheels that are backed up by a
high-performance braking system.
The rear of the car largely carries over but the AMG
variant has a new rear bumper and a four-tailpipe sports exhaust system.
Nothing is official but speculation suggests the production model will also
receive a larger rear spoiler.
Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers hasn't said much about
the model but he previously confirmed the hatchback will come with an all-new
turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces more than 402 hp (300
kW). This would be a significant increase over the current model which has 375
hp and 475 Nm of torque. It allows the all-wheel drive
hatchback to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds before
hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h.
