If you like your
5-door hatchbacks looking sporty, then larger wheels and spoiler add-ons should
definitely do the trick, as long as you’re not looking to go too far with it.
Of course, there is one sure-fire way to end up with a very sporty A-Class, and
that’s to purchase the Mercedes-AMG A35 version, however, not everybody wants
or can afford to spend that much money – in the UK, it costs upwards of £ 34,350
(US$ 44,000).
Aside from its
visual updates, this W177 Mercedes-Benz A250 also comes with a performance
upgrade, with power rising from 224 PS to 258 PS, and peak
torque from 350 Nm to 420 Nm. Should you expect any
massive straight line gains? Probably not, but you might just drop the A250’s
0-100 km/h sprint time to just under 6 seconds. We’re only guessing
because no official figures have been released as of right now.
Otherwise, the car
stands out thanks to its spoiler inserts, side decals, rear diffuser, sports exhaust
system (with quad tailpipes) and green turbine-style RS8 custom wheels. You can
also have your Mercedes badges replaced with Lorinser ones, you know, just in
case your ideal Mercedes A-Class doesn’t actually have Mercedes “written” on
it.
Lorinser calls this
tuning package the ‘Green Series’ and only 25 lucky limited edition W177s will
get to wear it.
